So. Laura is going to " make a speech before the World Economic Forum"

[Bluebear]

I am just imagining the caterwauling that would have taken place if President Clinton dispatched the First Lady to make a speech to world economic leaders.

I am bracing myself, will she reprise the stories about the President masturbating horses and complete the humiliation of her husband?


======
WASHINGTON (AP) - First lady Laura Bush will make a solo visit to the Middle East this week and make a speech before the World Economic Forum in Jordan, the White House announced Tuesday.

Bush leaves Thursday night for a five-day, jam-packed trip to Jordan, Israel and Egypt. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said the trip "is an opportunity for Mrs. Bush to reinforce our commitment to promoting freedom and supporting women and girls across the Middle East."

7. That is one great image.....

Made my day.

2. If I don't care

what she has to say I can't imagine any of them will care what she has to say either. Laura? Give me a fucking break.

[Toots]

3. Exactly.. "Nobody elected her" ..Why is she speechifying?

I got so tired of hearing that "Nobody elected her" Bullcrap. Well now they have and her constituents love her.

14. The double standard chaps my ass.

Hillary, a very bright woman and top attorney, was excoriated for trying to use her talents while First Lady.

Now "I worked three whole years" Laura -- whose education had nothing to do with economics, as far as I know -- will represent the U.S. at an economics forum.

John DiIulio was so right.

17. "I worked three whole years" Laura

19. Actually I was thinking she would say 'I'm rich. Sorry you're not'

I know that I'm married to the most hated man on the planet, but what the heck I'm still rich!

4. Wonder if she'll lighten up the atmosphere a bit and set the tone

by leading off her speech with some horse masturbation jokes. Apparently the first lady's quirky sense of humour can be a laugh riot at public speaking engagements (or at least at the ones where those in attendance are mostly sycophantic, fawning, eager to please media types).

6. Did she tire of lying around reading romance novels and smoking? n/t

8. I had to re-read this paragraph...

..."Bush leaves Thursday night for a five-day, jam-packed trip to Jordan, Israel and Egypt."

Is Mrs bush* and Mr bush* now interchangeable? Was Hillary ever referred to as 'Clinton' BEFORE she became a Senator? I think NOT!

9. Hey guys

don't go yarning off
Laura Bush is the only person in this administration that isn't so compromised that she can actually show her face in the world

you know that if they have to drag Laura Bush out of her possibly narcotic induced slumber things aren't going well for the big show

10. Well, I guess it makes more sense than Jenna making one.

12. Laura is supposed to be a world caliber economic expert?

:rofl:

Yeah...Right...

[goodboy]

13. I thought it was XanaX producers of Murika. my bad. (nt)

[applegrove]

15. Bush is so mistrusted that they cannot even use him anymore to

spew the propaganda.

Why they don't even let him tell jokes.

How sad.

The wife is the 'only part of the brand' left.

No other way to get their message out.

[katinmn]

16. why, is our economics or commerce guy too stupid?

Who is the commerce secretary anyway? Sure hasn't made much of a name for himself.

I remember the good old days when Ron Brown was commerce commissioner. He was fantastic.

May he rest in peace.

[VOX]

18. Thought she was being tapped for Gang Tzar.

What's up with that? :shrug: Like she's qualified to do tackle *any* of these issues. :crazy:

wash down her meds.
