Mr. & Mrs. Bubble
Must be some pretty tasty stuff they put in the White House water:
U.S. First lady Laura Bush said, on Sunday, that she does not believe opinion polls showing President Bush’s approval ratings touching its lowest point in his five-year presidency.
Why is that, Laura?
“I don’t really believe those polls….As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, ‘Stay the course’,” she said.
Imagine that — only friendly people coming up to you:
A new provision tucked into the Patriot Act bill now before Congress would allow authorities to haul demonstrators at any “special event of national significance” away to jail on felony charges if they are caught breaching a security perimeter.
We bet even them foreigners love President Bush!
Papers here reported that the White House had demanded diplomatic immunity for American special agents in case they shot protesters, the installation of bullet-proof windows in Buckingham Palace, the right to patrol London’s airspace with US fighter jets and helicopter gunships, and a guarantee from Scotland Yard that protesters would be kept out of camera shot of the President. There was no walkabout à la Bill Clinton, no ride with the Queen in the traditional open carriage
Love the bizarro world:
Indeed, the Bush administration’s use of controlled audiences is so widely known that White House aides reportedly made a point of announcing that the audience at a recent public forum — at which Bush discussed his warrantless domestic spying program — was not composed exclusively of Republicans, and that questions posed to Bush were not scripted.
Remember, kids, 9-11!!!!!!!!!1!
“We’ve had a very, very difficult year, starting with the hurricane last September, but already because of the terrorist attack in 2001 and then the war on terror since then,” she said.
We are speechless. We are without speech.
Had it not been for the weather, science, culture, nature, karma, terrorists, and common-sense, the polls would accurately reflect the world’s opinion of George bush.
The reason Laura doesn’t
see or hear anyone saying nasty things about George is that the people have been
cowed into submission and threatened with extermination if they dare to utter real dissent. Their grandmothers are being held hostage at undisclosed locations and threatened with grievous
bodily harm if thier kin
don’t play nice with the
President.
And as for the “security perimeter,” its dimensions
seem to include everything from the 49th parallel to
the Rio Grande and from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean. Or something like that.
The only way in which Laura Bush’s complete denial of evidence is rhetorically different from Hillary’s vast right-wing conspiracy is that L. Bush isn’t articulate enough to produce a sound bite.
There is a difference between the respective truth values of these propositions: Hillary was at least partially correct.
Imagine that, people who sign loyalty oaths don’t criticize chicken george. Will wonders never cease?

so basically they’re taking over british sovereignty?
it was just 230-odd years ago that things were the opposite
Sign her up in the war on HIV! All we need to do is get her not to believe it, then poof, no more problem!
I wonder if it’s reached the status of a clinical condition: the pathological inability not to bring up 9/11. It’s like a a sketch I love from an obscure British TV show about a guy who moves into a new neighbourhood and goes round to meet his neighbours and everything’s going fine, when suddenly he starts going off on one about how he’s constantly persecuted because he once fucked a duck.
Loved her t-shirt. Did you see it? It read:
“I’M THE BEARD.”
Wow, 9/11 happened this year? This is one long year. I guess we are still stuck in 2001.
They live in their own little world, don’t they. I wonder if she’s ever wanted to just slap the shit outta him. She’s appears to be so timid and lady-like that I can’t see her wearing the pants in that family, but he’s certainly too stupid to wear them.
“Tinkerbell is going to die if you don’t clap your hands! Please, children, clap your hands! Oh, Tink, don’t die! If all the kids out there just clap your hands, Tink will get well!”
For them, 9/11 will never stop happpenng. They live it every day in their minds.
It’s like the old, tired movie cliche about the slacker jerk in high school whose one moment of glory comes during the big football game, when he just lucks out and scores the winning touchdown. Said slacker jerk then goes on to relive that moment of glory every single day while working at his local Piggly Wiggly as a stockboy for the rest of his life.
Yeah, I’ve seen a number of posts on this. The denial is huge but the privilege inherent in her position is just as bad.
Don’t believe it because I don’t have to, nope.
Okay, yeah, evil and totally unsurprising. But I loved that one sidebar item, of which I simply could not resist taking a screen-shot…
Sharp eyesight allows Laura only to see those Americans who support Li’l George. It was that same sharp eyesight that led her to run her car into her old boyfriend, way back when.
The Bush White House: we have no brakes.
This just reminds me of G.H.W. Bush being totally flummoxed by a UPC code scanner in an attempt to purchase a dozen eggs or whatnot. I mean really, a person of his class just does not spend time in a grocery store! This leads to me picturing that in retirement, half the time H.W.’s Secret Service contingent is running errands to 7-11 and True Value for the former preznit. Bill Clinton must have a hard time keeping a straight face around ol’ 41.
But, Pickles? I’ve never bought the “folksy, down-home” act with her. One can be judged by one’s deeds, and the First Twins are evidence that Laura’s parenting skills are somewhat… lacking. Unless, that is, her entire goal was to raise a pair of drunken sluts, ‘cos she succeeded in that admirably. So my assessment of L. Bush, schoolmarm and First Libarrian? Grade A Biach.
Oh, and BTW:
But, Pinko–that is their entire HIV policy, right there!
You have to ask yourself:
What kind of woman would stay married for thirty years to this malignant idiot boy-thug as he is posed and funded and picked up and managed as a tool for a particularly evil group of wealthy, powerful white men?
There is no way that she cannot have been aware of the things he did and is doing, and so must be considered a willing partner.

Urban Legend Police! Pull over, Marq.

Heh. Today is a good day for screen shots. CNN.com had a little misprint in one of their headlines today that was pretty funny. Too bad they fixed it as fast as they did…
So the urban legend debunking is that he wasn’t ‘amazed’? Wow, what an exposé.
GHWB sired a traitor.
Look that up in snopes all you want.
So when’s Gary Ruppert going to show up and defend Laura and Dubya? I need a good laugh today.
So the urban legend debunking is that he wasn’t ‘amazed’? Wow, what an exposé.
I don’t trust Snopes on things political anymore. They show an amazing ability to bend waaaay over backward to explain away things embarrassing to the right while fudging the truth on things concerning progressives.
Then Barbara said, “The peasants have no bread? Well, let them eat cake!”
They say the wife is always the last to know…
*wink*
Oh, fine! Next, I suppose you’re gonna tell me that Poppy bush never barfed in the Japanese Prime Minister’s lap.
