Laura Bush Dons Sackcloth to Visit Afghanistan >>>

[Stephanie]

She's sort of stepped back from attending Manhattan fashion shows to trying to disguise herself as an oppressed third world woman. Who was the stylist on this photo-op? I think it's slightly overstated.

1. I'm sure the women in Afghanstan really give a shit.

THe women in America don't even stand for themselves, they have a woman-hating administration derstroying both our country and theirs right now. Why should them listen to this Stepford-wife atonotram?

2. I agree

Laura could be doing so much more but she doesn't. Sad really.

3. Who designed her buttons, Mr. Magoo?

5. ...Not my gumdrop BUTTONS....?!?!?!

4. Democratic Afghanistan has a 100m radius of US mercenaries protecting ...

... Karzai.

So much for freedom.

The burkas are back. Someone oughta tell Pickles.

20. Exactly

Afghanistan, to all intents and purposes, is held and controlled by either the Taliban or the warlords/druglords. This would become more apparent as spring arrives, attacks reduced during the winter but will increase over the spring and summer.

Canada is increasing the number of troops there because they cannot venture further than Kabul at this point.

6. ok, now where in the hell does one buy this crap?

i have never been to any store with my wife or my daughter that sells this crap. i have never seen this stuff at my local charity shop.this crap has to be custom made,where else would one get those huge buttons? to be really rude she has that neck thing going on now..no wonder little george hits on every woman he`s around...

7. It kind of reminds me of Condi in her Nazi suit in Germany

Don't these people have any clue as how to dress?

Who's paying for her globe trotting to try to make her husband palatable? Can hardly wait for his legacy to come out. He hurt his country and the world but his stepford wife did her job. One for robots. He's killed our kids with no resolve www.icasualties.org but he and Laura never talk about such things.

11. see

you're supposed to pay more attention to their dress than them and what they say. that's the scam.

8. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! ick!! That Is Hurting My Eyes!

[Bozita]

9. Gild the buttons and add some flashy epaulettes ... Voila!

Pickles trumps Condi.

10. Laura

Just keep her away from the poppies.

[thebigidea]

12. wow, she's really aged in the white house. without hair dye, she'd be Barb

13. Here's today's outfit - what's with the shawl?

Is that her nod to the burka?

[Ilsa]

15. A shawl with a pinstripe suit? Oh yeah, that really works.

That first jacket in the original post is butt-ugly, IMO. Doesn't do a thing for her. Doesn't she understand that her clothing is supposed to enhance her image, not make her more dowdy?

[Catchawave]

18. I think it was for her to wear over her head

like the ladies in the 2nd photo? It would have been a nice gesture of respect for their culture, imo.

[ElectroPrincess]

14. Yeah no joke = for a FIVE (5) hour tour ... what a waste of jet fuel /eom

[Ilsa]

16. They should have just photoshopped her image

with a stand-in and saved themselves the trouble. What a waste of fuel, time, money, and carbon.

19. The Poppies

is prolly what she's after. Finest drugs in the world available there. Bring back a whole plane load. Imagine the DC party scene this week.
Bowls of Viagra poppers and some fine Afghanny hash. YEEHAA Party on

[Ironpost]

17. Hell that looks like a military uniform

where are the stripes, metals and ribbons. We know for a fact she earned at least one, you know, the incident with ex boyfriend.
