"Laura Bush: Docile Dormat"
Another bullseye from our beloved Mark Morford:

" . . . There is Laura, looking exactly as she has looked for the past eight insufferable years. Prim, a bit glassy, reserved, her hair some sort of ironclad helmet of awkward architecture, the very epitome of nice, meek, domestic Republican female, not making the slightest wave and hoping no one really notices because, well, she's just a woman.

In fact, I challenge anyone reading this column right now to name one thing this woman has said or done in the past seven-plus years that shows her using her position as first lady to make any real difference. A single issue. A single notable appearance. A single daring, interesting, engaging ... anything. . . . "

Mark Morford, would you marry me?

6. I've learned quite a lot about the hazards of using too much Xanax
by watching her. Let's not short her as an example of how not to be.

7. I know one thing we can all be thankful to Laura Bush for.
She hasn't killed anyone with an Impala in the last 7.5 years, at least...as far as we know.

Of course, her husband has made up for that many times over. :eyes:

But that's about it. The only good thing I can think of to say about Laura Bush is that she hasn't rammed anyone with a car. :shrug:

8. You're one ahead of everyone else!

Why oh why hasn't she taught Fearless Leader how to read? In 8 years, he's still as dumb as he was when he stole office.

9. Didn't she end gang violence?
And speaking of that. She was given a $1,000,000 budget on her gang initiative. Where did that money go?

18. Just..~.. " A Lump in the Bed"
One more LIE in their endless stream of LIES. Bush* wrote her a love poem and left it on her pillow and all the Republican stepford wives ooooed and awwwed until she admitted a couple of months later that Bush* did not write the poem...

21. When I think of Laura Bush I think of Father Knows Best the 1954 TV show mother.....

It is like she walked right out of the 50's and doesn't know it is 2008 :)

30. Well, I'm not thrilled with Hillary at the moment to say the least..
but at least she has her own personality and brought something unique to the role of First Lady (even if she's exploited it during this campaign, lol). Laura is like a Stepford wife....

23. *smartass raising hand here* When she told the joke about 'George
milking the horse' she might have been trying to alert us to the weird sexual manifestations of republicans. I submit the following for your consideration:

Rep. Neal Horsely, (R) freakazoid, GA, who admitted to having sex with farm animals. :puke:

"box turtle" Cornyn

"man on dog" Santorum

Could've been her attempt at public service. :evilgrin: :hi:

26. Hiya smartass!

:hi:

The only thing of importance I remember Pickles remarking to her styrofoam daughters: stand up straight and keep the hair out of your eyes! Sound advice from a mannequin to 2 grown daughters. Good job Pickles!

31. Laura Bush is a self centered phony.

She presents a fake persona for the public that the Corp Media promotes. She is, in reality, a mean spirited, selfish, arrogant, ignorant person, just like her husband. She has promoted RWing causes such as Anti-Stem Cell Funding and has campaigned for RW Candidates. Claiming that she is a Private Citizen is as bogus as her phony public persona. She champions causes such as Women's Rights in Afghanistan and schools for Iraqis and Afghans butit is merely lip service because she does nothing about these causes nor does she contribute any of her own money towards them. . Laura Bush is a vapid, phony person and should be shunned yet she remains popular with the millions in America because the Corp Media goes along with her charade.
