I happen to like Chris Christie very much. And I agree that Barbara Bush didn't need to enter into the political discussion on a public basis. But she did, and I thought her comment was clever.

Blue blood? I don't really know what that means in this context. What exactly is a blue blood in this country? We don't have nobility or aristrocratic families. If you consider the Bushes "blue bloods" it is only because we have made them so.
What about all those people that were "barons of industry" in an earlier time in this country and are credited for making this country great? Were they "blue bloods"?
I don't find it plain spoken or honest, I actually find it rather childish and not fitting for a potential presidential candidate. The woman cannot let an opportunity to comment pass. Sometimes the best response is no response. She needs to learn to be subtle.

Ed Rollins wrote a great article today about Sarah Palin. And I think what he says makes a lot of sense.
