Sheldon Denies Press Release Attacking Laura Bush
The Traditional Values Coalition is disavowing a letter issued by a bogus group that appropriated its name to criticize first lady Laura Bush's allegedly risque remarks to the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night.
Calling itself the Coalition for Traditional Values, the counterfeit organization attacked Mrs. Bush in a phony screed penned by a "Rev. Roy DeLong."

"We saw our President undermined, mocked and emasculated by his own wife on the most public of stages," the supposed reverend complained. "And at a time when his manliness is already under attack. We saw the leader of the free world seemingly unable to lead his own family."
The phony letter was picked up by the Drudge Report, which prompted a deluge of media phone calls to the real Traditional Vaules Coalition. MSNBC, for instance, wanted to book a TVC spokesman on the air to discuss DeLong's critique of Mrs. Bush.
Instead, the Rev. Louis Sheldon - head of the real Traditional Values Coalition - says his group wasn't upset by Mrs. Bush's sometimes bawdy routine, calling it "hilarious," quoting at length from her comments and noting that she "stole the show" in his own press release.
