Pickles Takes a Swing at Sen Clinton
Laura Bush said Saturday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism of her husband's administration was "out of bounds," arguing that the former first lady should show some empathy for the current White House occupants.
...
"We know what it's like to live in that house. We certainly know what it's like to have your husband criticized," Mrs. Bush said. "So I think there's a certain empathy that we might have for each other that we wouldn't have maybe for somebody else who said something like that."
...
Mrs. Bush called the cartoons "reprehensible" and also said the United States and other world leaders should speak out about the violence.

"If we resort to violence, it's very, very difficult to have any sort of dialogue," she said.

-war not qualifying as "violence" in her brave, new, irony laden world.

3. I don't recall Barbara Bush Sr. coming to the Clintons defense in the 90's
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it just does not come to mind.

53. Or Pickles, when the Clintons were accused of trashing the White House.
Which, two or three investigations later (on our dime), was proved to be a lie.

at her, because Hillary would then have an excuse to kick her ass properly. And who wouldn't want to see that?

40. I'd give a week's pay for a good seat at that event!
But watch out, Hil: rumor has it that LB fights dirty---eye gouging, hair pulling, and nipple pinching. Too many episodes of pro wrestling, no doubt.

She's probably a bulldog once you piss her off. I think she could take on Pickles and Coulter at the same time.

12. You mean Pickles the Harpy?
I was thinking about those pictures of Pickles at Coretta's funeral and that's when I realized that Pickles isn't a doormat. She's a Harpy. That's why she didn't kick George out years ago.

Har·pies
1. Greek Mythology One of several loathsome, voracious monsters with the head and trunk of a woman and the tail, wings, and talons of a bird.
2. harpy A predatory person.
3. harpy A shrewish woman.

14. Now Senators can't criticize the Pres? It's "out of bounds?" Explain that
a bit more, Laura. How the Pres is above both the law and criticism. Again, more distraction from the "let them eat cake" and "playing a guitar while NOLA floods" adminstration. :eyes:

And oh, regarding "out of bounds" speech and incitements to violence why doesn't someone ask Ms. Laura for her take on that Coulter person's remarks?

. . . and buy expensive shoes that cost more than my Ford.

Is it too much to ask to ask her to STFU?!

18. She sounds "very angry" to me
And the American people don't like "angry" First Ladies. Wouldn't you agree, Ken?

Seriously, I have nothing against Laura Bush. I think she's probably a Democrat at heart, trapped in that family by love and circumstance. I've never heard anything from her that sounds remotely right-wingish.

24. She said some very offensive stuff in Africa.
And no, I don't have a link.

But . . . she made it very clear that she is utterly clueless to the plight of 99% of the planet's women.

Now, maybe it's a case of truly being a dumbshit . . . and not mean.

But, like her husband, she should by no means be put in a situation where whe is speaking for US.

I'm tired of Laura excuses. She has a mouth and can speak for herself and she's doing it here. If she changed political parties because of her husband that's low and ridiculous and just plain dumb. She's nothing more than a doormat for Bushie. They bring her out whenever he needs higher raitings just like they do with Bill. She can fuck off for all I care. And nothing rightwinges? HELLO! SHE SUPPORTED HARRIET MIERS AND SAM ALITO FOR THE SUPREME COURT! Did you forget that?

Hillary has been treated horribly by rightwingers over the years and she still stands with class that Laura Bush could never have. If Laura couldn't stand it she shouldn't have showed up. Welcome to the real world Laura! Not everybody likes you Bushies so get used to it!

32. Why does anyone, let alone Bill or Hillary Clinton of all people, owe
these arrogant, selfish, deranged, phony bastards an ounce of empathy?? The Clintons were savagely attacked with baseless false allegations ranging from running a drug cartel to murder sprees during Clinton's term and not one f****ing member of the piss-ant Bush family came to their defense.

More importantly, its Hillary's job to speak out about Junior's Administration BECAUSE SHE'S A SENATOR. Get a clue, Laura.

Laura Bush can just go screw off with her shallow, whining, bitchy comments.

that you didn't give him therefore you should lay off my husband because he committs felonies like picking his nose.

Yup, that's their logic alright.

49. "We???"
They both know what it's like to live in "that house?"

Laura Bush doesn't have the slightest clue what it's like to live on the same planet as most of the human population, let alone the same house.

I venture to propose that she doesn't approach understanding Hillary's experiences in the WH, either.

I may not like some of Hillary's choices, but I've never doubted the strength of her intellect or her abililty to accomplish her goals. Laura Bush, on the other hand? What an unfortunate comparison. You'd think she'd be careful not to point it out to the media.

55. She also has no problem being trotted out to defend the thugs.
She was out there, along with her father-in-law and Bob Dole, saying, "well, if a bunch of people are saying it, there must be some truth to it" (paraphrase -- I don't have her exact words at hand) about the Smear Boat Liars for Bush. And that wasn't the first time she showed up to put the "pretty" face on lies.
