Laura Bush Book Cover: Scariest Author Photo Ever? (HuffPO)

[hlthe2b]

Sometimes ya gotta love HuffPO..... :rofl:

[FrenchieCat]

1. I looked up "Stepford Wives", and that picture was there!

[ncteechur]

17. that is exactly what I thought when I saw it.

[Dr.Phool]

36. More like "True Blood".

[Wizard777]

59. Spooky. That was my first thought as well.

[POAS]

2. Is it just me or does she look like

the "JOKER"?

[MadBadger]

3. She looks like a Visitor

[Kookaburra]

6. It's that awful dark lipstick

Women with thin lips should never wear dark lipstick -- makes their lips looks like the joker's.

She needs to get herself a new make-up artist.

(And her eyebrows don't go with her hair color -- she really needs a new make up artist.)

[jmowreader]

53. Delete the word "new" and you have it

That's Self Applied Makeup if I ever saw it.

This is going to sound terrible, but the very best advice I could give Pickles in this department is, "raid Sarah Palin's makeup case." The shades they use on Palin would work really well on Laura Bush.

[underpants]

4. As wrong as the Obama-Joker thing is so is this

I don't hold anything against Laura maybe it is hate-fatigue but she deserves a bit of a break

god knows she deserves a break

[hlthe2b]

7. Oh, chill... I never said she looked like the joker...

Just that she didn't pick the most flattering photo of her for her book jacket. I actually think she is what is known as a classically "handsome" woman, if she'd pick a bit more flattering makeup. If that is "hateful" than, damn......:wtf:

Humor is not a bad thing, really...

[underpants]

11. Of course you didn't - I did

:wtf:

[etherealtruth]

12. I'm with you

I don't hate her ... some people are "trapped" in situations (I have no idea if this applies to her) ... more importantly, her looks are irrelevant to me.

[merh]

34. I was thinking the same thing

I think it has a lot to do with the way the others make fun of the Obamas for no reason at all.

It is just hate for the sake of hate fatigue.

[sufrommich]

61. I agree. I always thought she was the only classy person

in the White House for 8 years.

[Whisp]

5. I want to hate her like I hate her useless husband.

just can't do it. I don't necessarily like her, but I suppose it could be part sympathy for her to have to endure with that fuckhead mass murdering creature.

feh!
*spits

[Brickbat]

23. I feel the same way.

[muffin1]

63. Yeah, I have a hard time hating Laura, too.

I really appreciated Laura coming to Michelle Obama's defense over the "proud of my country" comment. Laura had been there, and it was classy of her to come to her aid, I think.

But, it's no problem hating his despicable mother. God, Barbara is a piece of work - and a POS.

[Stevenmarc]

65. I have no sympathy for her, she knew what she signed up for.

It wasn't like she was naive to the fact that she was joining a politically powerful family and that her job was to be part wife, part handler, she's the tail wagging the dog.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Xanax

[csziggy]

10. And a whole lot of Photoshop n/t

[Arkana]

9. WHY SO SERIOUSSSSSSSS....?

[Ian David]

13. I think she has something in her nose...

[DesertRat]

14. Cruella Deville

was my first thought. :scared:

[spanone]

15. that's gotta be a wax figure....gotta be.

[otohara]

16. No...don't gotta love HP

this is reminiscent of the shit the freepers says about Mrs. Obama.

It's a book with a perfectly fine picture of Mrs. Bush

[Kookaburra]

18. I stand behind my original comment

She needs a new make up artist. I've never thought she was physically unattractive, but her make up -- it's too harsh -- needs softening.

[vixengrl]

51. Her hair is also too helmet-like--it has no movement.

Add that to the dark lips and her un-even brows (why does one eye look higher than the other?) and the effect is brittle. Lighter pallette, bring some hair a little forward--and for crying out loud, what is with the "Ming the Merciless" collar? She could look less like she ate small things she found outside the crypt to maintain her strength.

[hlthe2b]

20. to Otohara, and any others who compare me to a Freeper

for having posted this. I am sorry I offended any of you by re-posting from HuffPO. The original post as well as my repost were mild attempts to bring a bit of humor to a Friday night. I added nothing other than my thoughts that the photo was not very flattering of Mrs. Bush. If that makes me a candidate to be compared to FREEPERS and the horrendously callous, cruel and even threatening things said about Mrs. Obama, well, I guess you are entitled to your opinion.

My intentions were innocent, non-malicious, and an attempt to be a little humorous on a Friday night. Having been here since January, 2001, I think most people know, I am anything but a freeper... But, if you wanted to insult me, you certainly succeeded. Crap. :shrug:

[otohara]

24. Chill

I saw this earlier on HP - it's HP who decided to make this photo an issue NOT YOU.

They said it was scary, NOT YOU.

The Bush's have left the building and have yet to criticize Pres. Obama.
For that I am grateful and don't feel like dumping on Laura over a picture that seems perfectly fine.

HP is sometimes like The National Enquirer.

[Gemini Cat]

47. You didn't offend me.

I don't get why anyone would be offended with your post.

[Liberal_in_LA]

19. Lots of make up and maybe eyelift?

[Junkie Brewster]

21. Better living through chemistry...

:evilgrin:

[ginnyinWI]

22. she looks like Betty Crocker, who is a fictional character

[zeemike]

25. If I walked into a dark room late at night.

And saw that look I am afraid that it wold scare me....Make me think that vampires might just be real.

It is the here right side of the face that is distorted....look at the eyes.

[TexasObserver]

26. What was George Jettson's wife's name?

[madaboutharry]

27. Jane.

[TexasObserver]

55. Tell me that photo of Pickles doesn't look like Jane Jettison.

[Zen Democrat]

28. Jane, His Wife nt

[MrMickeysMom]

38. Reminds me of a Tarzan joke punch line...

I'm already laughing :rofl:

[Hekate]

29. Oh come on, you guys, she's looking pretty good. Hair, makeup, eyes, blouse--all good.

A little too much Botox, but what can you do? It's a hazard these days for anyone in public life. Laura Bush looks miles better in that photo than during her husband's reign.

Hekate

[MrMickeysMom]

39. Who needs Botox, when you have Photoshop?

I mean, come on!

[Canuckistanian]

30. Her eyes follow you around the room

I heard they had to use a blowtorch to soften up that "mortar grade" pancake makeup just so she could blink.

[lutefisk]

56. You are right! I tried evading her gaze, but she tracked me wherever I went in my room. ..nt

[TlalocW]

31. It has to be Spoken from the Heart...

Because there ain't nothin' comin' from her brain.

TlalocW

[TankLV]

32. My dead Grandmother looked more alive than she does!

Hey Laura:

Call Greco Funeral Home in Buffalo NY - they can do a LOT better makeup job for you!

I hope you can lie REAL STILL like, tho...

Boy - she really does look like the Joker - too bad she uses the same makeup artist...

[cap]

33. an attempt to rehabilitate GW

eom

[Catshrink]

35. Where have I seen that smile before?

[MrMickeysMom]

37. Laura "Airbrush", more likely...

Oh well, like mind, like bookcover, I say.

[chollybocker]

40. Would you take advice from the woman who married GWB?

It's what's between the covers that frightens me.

[Minnesota_Lib]

41. My Pickles photo is creepier

[vixengrl]

52. I've always thought those widened eyes came from spotting George

across the room, doing something dreadful.

"Dear God, he's acting the fool again!"

[Nikki Stone1]

42. They eyes look vacant.

That's what makes it scary.

[Jade Fox]

43. At least she's not wearing upholstery fabric....

like back in her unfortunate White House days......

[Rage Inc.]

44. I hope Bachmann never "writes" a book!

Can you imagine that cover shot???

the horror

the horror

[Historic NY]

45. Wow it took a lot of makeup to fill the craters..must be her vampire look..

[Paladin]

46. Had A Little "Work" Done There, Laura?

Hell, I've seen snare drums that weren't as tight as that face.......

[JI7]

48. it is hard to dislike Laura Bush as i did before

i still hate Bush .

but Laura and her daughters have been ok. i still remember how good they were after Obama got elected and showing Michelle and Obama daughters around the white house.

Laura has also been one of those who has defended the Obama administration on things like Sotomayor and attacks on Michelle.

[lunasun]

49. Liberace like..must be the collars

[Naturalist111]

50. For her age she is a attractive woman. But as they say it's

what is on the inside that counts. Don't think I could get past that. I won't mention the other obvious reason.

[jmowreader]

54. I'm going to lay off Pickles' beauty techniques for just a second...

Is it just me, or can anyone else read the title of her book? The Snuggie they've dressed her in is such a light shade of blue, it's blowing out the words in the title.

I would have thrown a black drop shadow behind Spoken from the Heart. That would look good and be easy to read too.

[WVRICK13]

57. Stop

It isn't nice to make fun of disabled individuals. Anyone who willingly married GWB is obviously not very intelligent.

[Solly Mack]

58. Please...more like spoken from the ass

[sufrommich]

60. I don't see anything wrong with the picture. She's an attractive

person. Why go after her looks because she's married to an idiot.

[Dogtown]

62. Laura Bush killed a guy.

I think it was a sex-triangle thing.

Think she'll tell us about *that* "from the Heart"?

[peekaloo]

64. Tales From The Cryptic.
