First Lady Promoting Husband As Warrior
NEW YORK - First lady Laura Bush, in a rare foray into foreign policy Tuesday, planned to present her husband as a commanding warrior against terrorism in a prime-time convention speech highlighting his leadership in "the most historic struggle my generation has ever known."

2. It is the fumes from her polyester
The balls of these turds. And the sheep bite every time. I love how they gave Dim Son full coverage of the speech on the cable barf channels this morning.

4. you have to learn to survive tricycle rides and pretzels
in order to be a warrior. Also, bedwetting is an automatic disqualifier.

6. I had no idea you could get promoted to warrior
directly from spineless chickenshit coward.
I'd always assumed there were at least a few paygrades between one and the other.

Order your hubby to march to Iraq to fight. He's still AWOL from the Texas National Guard. By being in Iraq to fight, he will fulfill his obligations.

19. Right you are...
According to the rules in play when he ducked out he owes us two years active duty...either that or he should return the honorable discharge and 'fess up, then resign.

11. Where was that tough "warrior" when he was supposed to show up
for his cushy guard duty? Or how about in that classroom when he got the news that a SECOND plane had been crashed into the WTC?

16. bahahahah!
He's unfit for the title Commander-in-Chief. Hell, he doesn't embrace the title himself! Every negative aspect of the war rolls up as far as the Pentagon and Rumsfeld (see most recent Abu Ghraib report). So, it seems Rummy takes the title, as he's the highest official loosely implicated in any Iraq-based problems.

More like, Commander-Missing-in-Inaction...

Well, maybe if your chickenshit husband had gone to Vietnam, he'd have another struggle to compare it to.

31. This is kind of overblown considering the damage was done
by 19 half assed guys with box cutters. The struggle seems to be to find ways to continually confuse the public so they don't realize the facts.

25. Is this a joke or what?
"We really protected them in every way we could before, in every other campaign," Mrs. Bush said on NBC's "Today." "We never used them in any political ads."


Hand trained by the lady of wisdom, Laura Bush.

28. Dole and others have said Kerry was "fair game" for the recent attacks
against his record by the smearvets precisely because he was promoted as a warrior at the DNC.
Since Pickles is doing the same for Lieutenant No-Show, I believe that makes him fair game for attacks against his record as well.

is what he should be a warrior against.

33. I'd feel safer with a life-size cardboard cut-out of Aragorn
...saw them in front of a music/video store...said something like "looking for a mighty warrior to protect you? $24.95" At least HIS costume didn't look like it was stuffed with socks.

34. Brave Sir Dubya
Brave Sir Dubya ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Dubya turned about
And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Dubya.

He is packing it in and packing it up
And sneaking away and buggering up
And chickening out and pissing off home,
Yes, bravely he is throwing in the sponge.

37. I think the First Lady
should listen to my favorite radio station, in regards to the 'most historic ...' KMFA translated means
KISS MY F****" ASS! This is a manufactured war, once created made worse by * and his backers. It is in their best financial interests to maintain this charade.

42. She thinks that clearing brush with a chain saw, makes him a warrior
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 05:25 PM by Marianne
Lady, your warrior husband launched a tragic war. He killed tens of thousands of innocent people, women and children and entire families. As you stand by watching your warrior husband trash veterans and using them as hapless pawns in a slaughter of an invasion, be sure to be there in that photo op, being the dutiful wife, expressing awe at his brush clearing abilities, as you did when on vacation as 911 was looming on the horizon--and he was being a manly warrior, clearing brush and killing fish, while you were swimming in the pool and your two party going daughters were forging false ID's and drinking themself into a stupor.
