(2 of 2)
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN A NATIONAL JOURNAL SURVEY OF G.O.P. INSIDERS NAMED YOU THE MOST UNDERRATED CABINET MEMBER? I think it's better to be underrated than overrated. I'm not interested in hogging the limelight. I just want to do a good job.
DO YOU EVER TALK SHOP WITH YOUR HUSBAND [KENTUCKY SENATOR AND MAJORITY WHIP MITCH MCCONNELL]? No, we're much too busy. We both love what we're doing. When we have time together, we talk about college football, about getting together with our friends--the usual kind of stuff--[like] who takes out the garbage.
AND WHO DOES? I have to confess, I do.
