Laura Bush tours Citigroup/NYC with Gov. Pataki today

[Bluebear]

As a "morale booster" for the threatened (booga booga booga) employees there. Is this the ultimate photo-op? Her husband keeps us so safe that he even will send his wife to their Saudi friend's bank to show how effective he is at stopping terra!


First lady Laura Bush shakes hands with people as New York Gov. George Pataki, right, looks on while visiting the Citigroup Center Monday Aug. 2, 2004, in New York. To show confidence in the city's response to the warning about possible terrorist attacks against major financial institutions Pataki and Bush visited the Citigroup Center, one of several buildings cited by the government in a detailed warning Sunday.

1. Dean was right .... politics with terra .... Wolfie is an ass

[qanda]

2. But it's not political...

:eyes:

[Karenina]

31. Nah. Just gargantuan

distorted PSY-OPS!!!! :eyes:

[Momof1]

3. Well this proves it.

The scumbags...

:puke:

[cthrumatrix]

4. IF it was real....would you send your WIFE...? This should be the question

[Bluebear]

29. Of COURSE not!

[Booster]

5. What does it say about a man who will send his own wife

and daughters into harms way for his political advantage? You know damn well if the terra alerts were real, the Secret Service would not have allowed such a thing. This is ridiculous and should be pointed out by every news media in the world. What an asshole.

[Bluebear]

6. Instead, the media is showing Laura chatting with employees

Without commenting what a strange tableau it paints.

[Wwagsthedog]

12. Right on spenbax

The sad thing is that even if the media were to point out the idiocy of this announcement when coupled with the terror alerts, most people wouldn't connect the dots. dimson knows there is nothing to worry about. tom ridge says that we should just go to work as usual. What a total pile of garbage.

[smirkymonkey]

14. That either he is willing to sacrifice her for political gain, or....

that their is no actual threat, and the alert was just another fear-mongering, right-wing political stunt.

Either way, it's all about Monkey Boy's poll numbers. Fuckers.

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight,

and we're suppose to be attacked at any fucking moment. This administration is DERANGED for putting American citizens through this for political gain. Do they really think we're that stupid? Do they really think that we Dems are as stupid as their RW voters? :eyes:

[Bluebear]

8. Evidently they do! nt

[cthrumatrix]

9. it requires for the media to have a brain ad question the "boy king"

[Booster]

10. People in New York can relax.

This just proves New York is probably the safest place in the country. God, this pisses me off - 50% of this country will say what a brave man Bush is to put his wife in the very building that has been targeted. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Actually, sending his wife is cowardly

going himself would really be brave, considering how much people here despise him.

[bluedog]

11. anywhere to find

a link for this news from busho co

[izzie]

13. Is Laura Fat? Can we let her do this if she is?

Oh sorry I thought that was how we were to look at wifes ...Isn't that what the GOP is doing?

[sangh0]

16. Did Pataki brag about vetoing minimum wage law?

The NY State legislature recently passed a bill raising the minumum wage in NY. Pataki vetoed it

[ronnykmarshall]

17. Was she passing out her home grown pickles?

[ronnykmarshall]

18. or how about some of her stash of pills?

[Bluebear]

22. She passed out Xanax like mints to calm the workers anxieties

[Literate Tar Heel]

19. can you imagine...

if Clinton had pulled a stunt like this and sent Hillary to a building that his administration had just declared a target for a terrorist attack???? we would have never heard the end of it

[AlCzervik]

20. The heart and Sole TERRA! tour.

yet another photo-op.

[Bluebear]

21. Photo added

Calmly ordering Citigroup coffee.

[milkyway]

23. Did you have to post the pic of her? I just lost my lunch!

[Bluebear]

24. So sorry. She's supposed to be a calming influence lol!

[qanda]

25. Tell me she doesn't look like she's forming her lips to say

Shove it! Well, at least that's what this administration has said to the Constitution.

[milkyway]

26. My wife works 2 blocks from Citigroup. I just told her to be very afraid--

Laura Bush is nearby, and she might be driving.

[Bluebear]

27. shdoom BAH!

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. Bwahahahahahahaha! n/t

[hatrack]

28. Somehow "Transparent Bullshit" always seemed contradictory

At least, until today.

[Bluebear]

32. Was this on any news tonight, btw?

[Junkdrawer]

33. Nope. That was for NYC only...

in NYC, they want to DOWNPLAY the danger, while they want to PLAY UP the danger in the rest of the country.

[Bluebear]

34. I see. Gee, what's a citizen to do?
