Laura sees an agenda worthy of a 'shove'
THE WASHINGTON TIMES (rag)


First lady Laura Bush considers much of the national media biased against Republicans, but she empathizes with Democrat Teresa Heinz Kerry, who told a journalist to "shove it." ..

"I mean, I think it's obvious in some parts of the media — some newspapers, some television networks — that there's a bias," she said late Tuesday. "Or an agenda — maybe I should say an agenda."

The first lady said she has resigned herself to the reality that conservatives seeking the presidency must work harder than liberals in order to compensate for the liberal bias of the press. ..

The first lady was asked whether she would be devastated if her husband lost.

"Yes, of course," she said. "Would we still have a life? Sure. Would we have a good life? Sure."

25. Americans are the hardest working and most productive people
in the world already. The average European takes 6 times as much vacation as the average American. How can we work harder?

4. Fox News is right up at the top of your list, Laura!
She is obviously doing the Republican "spin".........say something 5 times (doesn't matter if it's untrue) and it becomes THE truth.

Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 11:15 AM by ignatius 2
guts to go into the Citigroup building on the very day her old man posted a terror alert on that very building.

She either has a death wish or realizes that her husband and the rest of the nazis lie like dogs.

Shut up, Ms. Stepford, go live your shallow live and get out of our WH.

12. Oh Gawd...
"Yes, of course," she said. "Would we still have a life? Sure. Would we have a good life? Sure... Would we have lots and lots of money skimmed by exploiting Bugsy's position in the White House? Sure. Would we leave behind a legacy of failure, lies and impropriety? Sure. Would we care? Not one bit."

13. she's lying, or she's clueless
now guys, you know that she and smirky don't read the papers.
Of course the folks she gets all her info from tell her about the liberal slant of the media. and if they say so, it has to be true, right?

15. Apparently, the Twins can't cut it
The first lady said her 22-year-old twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, would not make speeches at the Republican National Convention, which begins Aug. 30 in New York City. She is aware of the constant comparisons to Mr. Kerry's daughters, Alexandra, 30, and Vanessa, 27, who spoke at the Democratic convention.
"Our girls are different from them," Mrs. Bush explained. "They're younger than they are; they're just out of college; they're very new to the campaign trail."
Until now, Mr. and Mrs. Bush successfully have shielded their daughters from the glare of the media spotlight. The first lady pointed out that they were born when their grandfather was vice president.

16. "Our girls are different from them,"
"Sorry, Daddy, we can't campaign with you anymore. It takes too much time away from drinking and partying and boys." Actually, I think the little demon seeds just didn't have anything to offer. They have gotten the hook from their own father.

19. You know the charming story about Kerry saving the hamster,
they could have told about their daddy puting firecrackers up frogs butts..that would have certainly charmed the pants off the GOP guys.

17. They are the same age as Cate Edwards
who spoke out the Dem convention.

Laura, shut up. Every time you open your mouth you lie or say something stupid. Maybe she's trying to make her hubby lose? She did say she is only a republican by marriage and comes from a dem family.

20. The only reason she'll be devastated when he loses......
is because then he'll be around the house more and you know how much fun that will be for her?

24. What fucking planet is she living on?
Oh, I forgot. She's in her own little pharmaceutical enhanced dream world where everything is backward. Her husband is kind and smart, her daughters are pure and ladylike, the conservatives are gentle and compassionate and the horrible liberal media is making things tough for the poor wittle Bush Administration.

Up your dose Laura, you're useless.

29. Sounds like bullshite to me.
I think Laura hates public life & would be just as happy to go back to Southfork Ranch, or whatever they call the pig farm. How else do you explain some of those getups she's worn?
