I'm starting to feel sorry for Laura Bush.

[leftyladyfrommo]

Isn't that awful. But how could she even be married to someone like George? She has never come across as evil or stupid, I don't think. She just seems really white bread to me. The good wife.

I would want to find a deep hole and stay in it if I had to deal with the stuff she is facing right now. Reminds me of poor Nixon's wife. She was just pathetic.

[Beelzebud]

1. On the contrary. Evil and stupid define her.

She killed her first boyfriend and then married into the Bush Crime Family.

Evil and Stupid.

[bdamomma]

2. why feel sorry for her? she knew what she was getting into

she is a grown woman, she is probably oblivious to know what is going on, she doesn't want to hurt her beautiful mind either.

[Warpy]

10. Remember, she fought against having Stupid in politics

and she always wanted to stay far in the background.

I feel sorry for any First Lady. They're always lightning rods for criticism of fashion, decor, speaking voice, hair style, and every other trivial thing shallow people feel compelled to comment on.

I feel especially sorry for First Ladies who are married to dopes they tied themselves to when they were much, much younger.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. Well, really. It's one thing to be married to a rich fuck-up but

when he fuck's up the whole nation its a whole different ball game.

[closeupready]

3. I agree with you - I like her.

I disagree with her on many issues, though.

She deserves better, IMO.

[seabeyond]

4. remember all the interviews where she is feeding the same bullshit

and playing the same game as bush and the feeling sorry factor goes away

[Justitia]

21. Right, I've seen her hit hard at critics, so fuck her. I'd feel sorry for her if she kept out of it

but she likes to jump into the fray.

As his wife she has responsibility to rein him in where possible, yet she allows him to run roughshod over the entire country (and others), so screw Laura Welch Bush.

[Poll_Blind]

5. At some point, the Eva Brauns and Clara Petaccis have to answer for....

..their affiliation. You don't just accidentally marry into a CIA-connected, fascism-based dynasty of a family. Even with that little pathetic palsied monkey claw wave of hers, I still don't feel sorry. She made her choice and stuck by it. And that damns her as much as anyone else who sticks by a madman.

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. I understand your point. But she has been married to him for

years. She never signed on for this stuff.

Boy would I hate to be in her shoes. You would feel like you would need to divorce the idiot just to save any kind of face at all.

Sucks to be her.

[Poll_Blind]

20. From that standpoint, it sucks to be Bush too. But he and she both...

...have a responsibility for their actions and affiliations. That "birds of a feather" maxim...

PB

[July]

42. We don't really know what she signed on for.

But we can guess that the Bush family point of view was fairly clear to her even early on. Somewhere along the line she started to participate in the game (see my post below about her role in reinforcing the Swift Boaters and the mocking of Michael J. Fox).

[goclark]

31. I agree, to stay in a marriage like that is a shame

She is not clueless and she is always saying such "supportive" words about this regime.

She is guilty and in the year 2007, she is an insult to Woman everywhere.

[AndyA]

6. Ask Michael Douglas about Laura Bush.

Oh, wait...you can't. She killed him in a car crash in 1963 when he was just 17 years old. Seems she ran a stop sign. On a clear night. At an intersection she had been through hundreds of times before. It was at night, he was heading toward the intersection at a right angle with his headlights on.

How could she have not seen him?

Oh, and there are reports that she had been dating him, and that he had recently broken up with her. He was in a small, lightweight Corvair, Laura was in a full size Impala. Coincidence? Accident? Perhaps. But she's stuck by the idiot all these years, she's watched him hurt others, be responsible for thousands of deaths, and yet she sticks by him.

I don't feel sorry for her at all. I think she's a nasty, evil woman. If you don't believe me, just check out the hatred on her face at Coretta Scott King's funeral:



Nice, eh? The woman could squirt battery acid out of her eyes. How disrespectful.

[bdamomma]

15. and she didn't even call that devasting Hurricane Katrina but the

right name. She is like teflon also, just like her stupid husband.

[Wizard777]

24. In all fairness George was being roasted.

There's a lot I remember about Jimmy Carter. But I can't ever remember seeing him visibly angry. As he has been of lately. I think he finally figured out Bush Sr. is a treacherous bastard that set him up and sacked him with the Gas Crisis and the Iran Hostage thing. It's just the Bush style.

[AndyA]

34. When you do the things the Bushes have done, being roasted is part of the

package. They should have expected it.

They had no business being at Mrs. King's funeral. She was the exact opposite of Bush, worked hard all her life for equality and fairness, and he has separated the country like no other person has ever done.

* and Mrs. * should have just stayed home. They weren't fooling anyone with their appearance, it was all a photo op to them.

Look at their body language, how disrespectful to Mrs. King. * can't even sit up straight, he's slumped over like he could care less. To most in attendance, it was an honor to attend the funeral of such a great American.

You are right about Carter as well. He has been very angry lately, and that is not something you would normally expect from him. It would not surprise me at all if Bush Sr. was manipulating the things you mentioned with the aid of Reagan and the rest of the GOP. Using Americans to further their political agenda is not new to them.

[Benhurst]

38. Thank you.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[galadrium]

7. I dont...

I think its pretty obvious that she enjoys being a stepford wife.... seen and not heard.

[blogslut]

8. I think she knows exactly what's going on

...and always has. Don't let her smile and genteel demeanor fool you. She supports him because she chooses to.

[spanone]

9. Stupid is as Stupid Marries.

Sorry? Shit no.

[Javaman]

11. Sorry but first ladies are just as power driven as the person running for prez...

In some cases more so.

She may paint on a face of "friendliness" but someone I know who works in one of the alphabit agencies told me that she is a chain smoking colossal bitch on wheels.

So don't be fooled. Everything with this bunch of failures is nothing but smoke and mirrors.

[Wizard777]

13. I like Laura.......as long as she's not spouting off her husband's miserable policies

She's genuinely nice and likable. As for how she ended up with George. I'm thinking she's an old fashioned girl that thought she could fix him. She's a smart lady. Maybe she'll learn something from Iraq? Somethings just can't be fixed. No matter how hard you try. They just can't be fixed.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Sorry for the murderous drug-addled alien lizard queen lump-in-the-bed?

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. Ah, that's way harsh! n/t

[Swamp Rat]

23. What's harsh are the conditions children must endure in Iraq, caused by the policies Laura supports

[Done]

18. I wonder what kind of drug she takes...

I want some.

:bounce:


She seems stoned senseless 24/7.

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. I've heard that herioin from Afghanistan is really cheap now!

That was nasty. But I do think she must be taking something. She acts like she is on prozac or something - always level.

[raccoon]

47. People are always saying Xanax. Sounds reasonable to me. nt

[KarenS]

19. I don't feel sorry for her,,, They are a matched set. n/t

[Democrat 4 Ever]

36. Just remember that every time Chucklenuts gets his tit in a wringer

out comes Pickles to divert the attention. "Sweet Pickles" is just so nice, and kind, and gentle. No, no, no. She is a tool, just like Chimpy - used by the reichwing, neocons haters - and she allows herself to be used all the while plastering a fake smile on her Joker face.

She supports sending other people's children to fight a faux war just so she and Chucklenuts can enjoy the perks of the job. Her kids aren't in that war. Remember "I'm going to fight this war even if Pickles (I paraphrase here) and Barney are the only ones to support me." I think Chimpy spoke too soon for Barney but I'm betting Pickles will hang in to the bitter end. She is as corrupt and vile as her husband.

We have a zonked out, Xanaxed up, scotch swilling, chain smoking, air head (honestly, she can't be too smart if she married Chimpy) spouting nonsense about gangs and drugs and war and education without a clue of having an honest opinion except what KKKarl has told her to say. If you aren't part of the solution, Pickles, dear, than you are part of the problem. And you are a big problem.

Remember the day when First Ladies actually attacked real problems? Eleanor? Jackie O? Lady Bird? Hillary? Or is it just a Democratic First Lady thing?

Pfffft on Pickles.

[shimmergal]

40. No, it's not just a Democratic First Lady thing...

Betty Ford started her substance abuse center and was active in its operation until recently. Even while in the White House, she didn't hesitate to speak out honestly. I'd say it's more a problem of the Bush family and their retrograde idea of a proper wife.

[Retrograde]

48. but there's all her work with gangs and stuff

Laura Bush solved the youth gang problem simultaneously (Had solved? will have had solved? We need a tense to describe things the media states as if they were already just on the brink of being accomplished.) And that literacy-thing. And she reads to children on camera. And she, um, er, uh - used to be a librarian. Way back when. For a year or so.

But the point is, she really cares. Karl tells me so.

/sarcasm

[YOY]

25. Anyone with that bad a fake smile can't be a decent person

It's so fake I can't believe its not a laughing stock.

[dipsydoodle]

28. Know what you mean

She reminds me of Jack Nicholson as The Joker.

[YOY]

35. Local DC News will sometimes feature her doing local PR work

"A stroll through the park with first lady Bush." The reporter smiles professionally next to Laura...who has on that ghastly smile. It actually made me wince in feigned fright.

Naturally the missus was on the floor with laughter at my reaction.

[Saturday]

26. She repeats the same BS her husband preaches.

Nope, don't feel sorry for her. She also wasted 6 years accomplishing nothing as First Lady IMO.

[LiberalEsto]

27. Why? She's got two feet

and presumably she knows where the door is.

[tanyev]

29. I would feel more sympathy for her if she didn't go out and parrot

the talking points every time they get desperate.

[InvisibleTouch]

30. Evil yes, stupid no.

"Evil" is perhaps even too strong of a term, but definitely selfish, self-involved, and completely disinterested in the plight of the rest of the world. Hers seems to be a willful ignorance, whereas Dubya is just ... ignorant.

[xultar]

32. I'm not. She's in that to win it. She bought the bullshit hook, line and sinker.

[leftofthedial]

33. Laura is every bit as evil and stupid

as any other degenerate freak in that family

she's Babs Bush V2.0

[pitohui]

37. running down your ex in cold blood

qualifies as close enough to evil and stupid for me

no pity here

[NAO]

39. God has blessed her with abundant Xanax refills

and I do not envy nor would I deny that poor lady all the drugs she needs to be able to live with the constant embarrassment of being married to that low-IQ, coke/alkie burnout, psychotic loser.

[July]

41. I'm never going to feel sorry for her.

Bush trots her out whenever he needs cover for his dirty-tricks team's hits. She was out there saying "people say bad things about my Georgie, too" and "there must be some truth in it" (these are paraphrases of what I remember) about the Smear Boaters claims, and she was also publicly repeating the notion that Michael J. Fox's ads in support of candidates in favor of stem cell research was "manipulation." In other words, she's the "prettier" side of Rush Limbaugh. Those are just the first two bad choices Laura's made that come to my mind. She knows her role, and it's to help keep the power and money in the hands of people crapping all over this country.

[DemExpat]

43. Me neither, July,

She is just as much a part of the denial and distortion as anybody in that circle.

DemEx

[AlCzervik]

44. i'm sure she got the playbook before the game.

[Solly Mack]

45. Don't. Laura's not stupid - she's living her choices

[earth mom]

46. How anyone could feel sorry for that creature is beyond me!

C'mon now. She has defended her husband at every turn and has turned a blind eye to all of it! And after all the human rights atrocities that the * cabal is responsible for which puts blood on her hands too, you want to feel sorry for her because maybe it's gonna bite her in the a$$?! :wtf:

I could give a damn! Cry me a river! :eyes:

[Bobbie Jo]

49. Poor Laura, bless her heart....n/t

[BoneDaddy]

50. Right she was just an innocent victim

who didn't get anything from the marriage like power, prestige, an easy life.

Sorry but this makes women out to look stupid and powerless.
