says, "my passion is education." The song is "Laura's Alphabet."

J is for the justice we rained down on Kabul.
L is for the learning that you get in private school.
M is for money; my husband's got a ton.
N - O are the letters that you hear when you've got none.
P is for the press, who haven't taken us to task.
Q is for the questions they're too afraid to ask.
R is for Republican, Strong and True,
and U is for my underwear, which by the way are blue.
