From CBS’s Early Show:

Bill Plante: “One quick question on another topic, are you disappointed your husband didn’t pick a woman for the Supreme Court?”
Laura Bush: “Well he did pick one.”
Bill Plante: “Well yeah.”
Laura Bush: “No, I think Sam Alito will be terrific; I’m very, very excited about him. He’s highly qualified.”

And for nomination-quota fans: Miers counts.
