2. Because BushCo is bullying the corporate media into carrying this shit
...and the White House has her hopping around like the only chambermaid at a megahotel during a convention...

It's the old "throw enough shit up against the wall, and some will stick" theory.

And all the poor librarian seems to be pumping out is one fer-shit quote after another. She needs to go back home, grab a smoke, a book, and a drink, and just back the fuck off. No one wants to hear her poorly thought out opinions.

11. First, she needs to put
her librarian and teaching skills to use and teach her husband how to actually read, so that he can read more than just the fucking sports pages.

6. Perhaps we should Chappaquiddick her. After that funeral
this week I heard plenty of righties commenting on Kennedy, including our dear friend the fat oxycotin addict Nazi.
"RUSH: We've got a little office pool going on here, folks, and I wanted to share it with you, regarding the funeral. First, when's it going to end? The other things that we're looking at -- who's in the house? You've got Bill Clinton, you've got the Reverend Jackson, and you have Teddy Kennedy, and those are just the known culprits. I'm sure that there are others who fit the mold. They're all in the House. So here's the little office pool that we have going here. Here you might want to have your own version of this in your office or your home today. The end of the funeral, when it's all over, how many women will be picked up? The next question we're asking ourselves, how many babies will be born nine months from today? I mean, you've got Bill Clinton in there; you've got Jesse Jackson and Teddy Kennedy -- and the next question we're asking, "Will a car fail to negotiate a bridge somewhere in Georgia late tonight, and if so, who will have been driving?"

Report: Laura Bush in 1963 Car Wreck

By JIM VERTUNO, Associated Press Writer

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - At 17, Laura Bush ran a stop sign and crashed into another car, killing her boyfriend who was driving it, according to an accident report released to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Mrs. Bush is the wife of Republican presidential nominee-to-be George W. Bush (news - web sites), the Texas governor.

``It was a very tragic accident that deeply affected the families and was very painful for all involved, including the community at large,'' said her spokesman, Andrew Malcolm. ``To this day, Mrs. Bush remains unable to talk about it.''

Mrs. Bush did say in March, when asked at a campaign stop about the crash, ``I know this as an adult, and even more as a parent, it was crushing ... for the family involved and for me as well.''

According to the two-page accident report released Wednesday by the city of Midland, Laura Welch was driving her Chevrolet sedan on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963, when she drove into an intersection and struck a Corvair sedan driven by 17-year-old Michael Douglas.

Although previous news accounts have reported Douglas was thrown from the car and broke his neck, those details were not in the report.

The speed of Laura Bush's car was illegible on the report. The speed limit for the road was 55.

Neither driver was drinking, the police report said.

Laura Bush and her passenger, Judy Dykes, also 17, were taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries, according to an accident account printed at the time in the Midland Reporter-Telegram.

The police report indicates no charges were filed. That section of the report was left blank.

``As far as we know, no charges were filed,'' said Midland city attorney Keith Stretcher. ``I don't think it's unusual that charges weren't filed.''

The police report was released after an open records request was submitted to Midland officials in March. City officials had declined to release the records because the victims were under 18.

HA!

7. And, with every shot of her my opinion of her declines.
The smirk on her face during CS King's funeral sort of said it all about who she really is.

13. I know, I couldn't believe
some of the expressions on her face then! The Stepford smile came off and the real Laura was finally unmasked. Too bad the "liberal" media didn't seem too interested in showing her and hubby's true feelings, as evident in their body language.

9. Too bad the
"liberal" media couldn't have treated Hillary with such adoring kid gloves as they do Pickles. And look at the two selfish brats Pickles raised as opposed to how wonderful Chelsea has turned out.

14. Right now ...
... she's polling better than anyone in the administration. And you're right, that's why they trot her out to deliver the party message. Typical, and disgusting.

21. Last line of defense. Saddam Hussein used to surround himself
with children and retardates. I'm not saying she's a child.
