Say it ain't so, Laura shilling healthcare overseas while Americans do without

First Mr. Bush vetoes healthcare for low-income American children. Now, though it defies belief, Laura Bush is going to the Middle East to promote healthcare and cancer awareness. Yes, you heard me, promote healthcare.

This belongs in the I can't believe it department. But every word is true. These people have no shame. They are evil, sick, amoral soulless creatures vultures who suck the lifeblood from the most vulnerable among us.

In Jordan, Mrs. Bush will visit the King Hussein Cancer Center to unveil a model of Jordan's first community breast cancer screening center and announce the expansion of the partnership to additional countries in the Middle East. She will also tour the facility, highlighting how it uses new technology in breast cancer care and meet with child cancer patients. Mrs. Bush also will visit the UNESCO World Heritage site in Petra, an ancient city in southwestern Jordan, and meet with Jordan's King Abdullah.

Okay folks, so we're being told that Laura Bush is heading overseas on Saturday to start a six-day visit to the Middle East in an effort to promote breast cancer awareness and treatment. Bush plans to visit the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan during the visit. This latest White House photo op is occuring against the backdrop of the mind-numbing and outrageous SCHIP veto, and the plight of 47 million uninsured Americans who have no access to basic healthcare.

Like I said, you can't invent this stuff.

3. This is unbelievable...almost like an Onion piece.

I hope some brave soul from the press will ask about the glaring disconnect between the state of our health care system (including his veto) and what they are promoting in the middle east.
