Is Bush trying to get Laura martyred?

[IADEMO2004]

He gives advanced notice of her trips. Protesters get within a few feet of her. When Sec. Rice travels she is gone when the news breaks of her visit. It sure would cure his approval problems.

Shame on me for thinking this.

[Sal Minella]

1. No. Not shame on you. It's a possibility, imo.

Partly because it's so unthinkable. Who would dream anyone would do such a thing. They excel at doing the unthinkable, routinely do the unspeakable.

[Aviation Pro]

2. Of course he is....

Just proves what a pussy and wimp he is, he sends his wife into a combat zone that he fears to go in to. This sniveling coward is showing his true colors.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. And when Bush goes on bases

they have such tight security and keep him away from all of that and keep him around soliders who like him and all that nonsense. But yet with Laura she roams around and everything.

[Dulcinea]

43. That's what I think too.

He has no stones, so he sends Laura to do his dirty work.

And it makes it easier to spend time with his girlfriend, Condi.

[benburch]

3. It would make it easier to have a "boy toy" nt

[DemonFighterLives]

5. Oh yeah, he needed some time with the bulldog

Laura is just wandering aimlessly.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Or what about

Dr. Rice?

[DemonFighterLives]

34. You mean the oil tanker lady?

I brought a Frist link over to you in the Frist thread. Did you see it?

[JohnnyRingo]

4. I don't think GW would sacrifice his wife to the PNAC cause.

Karl Rove would though.

Ol' George just hasn't figured that out yet.

[mitchum]

8. But Ted Olson did

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

30. He got a twofer out of that one.

PNAC and P-WHIPPED.

39. I'm glad I haven't been victimized by modern politics enough to

...lose all sense of humanity and be capable of making statements like this. Just like Uncle Karl wants us all too. Looks like he's successful some of the times.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

41. Humanity?

The woman preached hatred and divisiveness. She deserves no tears. These people have sold their souls for money, power and influence on the graves of the wronged. I understand the need for compassion but I'm completely dry when it comes to these ghouls.

[tx_dem41]

49. Yes....humanity

Its what we daily claim that we have and they don't have.
Its what supposedly makes us better than them.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

50. I'll be sure to wave happily

from the internment camp or poorhouse. :hi:

The line has to be drawn somewhere and the Olsons are well beyond that line.

[tx_dem41]

54. Liberalism isn't about giving government the power to kill people..

...and commending that usage (especially when the conservatives are the one that did it, according to you). If you want to applaud the conservatives for using governmental power to quash personal freedoms, be my guest. Just don't call yourself a liberal when you do it.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

55. WTF?

If <I> want to applaud the conservatives for using governmental power to quash personal freedoms...


:wtf:

[mitchum]

48. Oh, I have plenty of sympathy for the other passengers and crew...

on that plane SHOT DOWN BY US AIRCRAFT, but I have no pity or sympathy for Barbara Olson.

[AntiCoup2K4]

52. I doubt Babs Olson is dead.

Since the plane she was supposedly on never went anywhere near the Pentagon, it's obvious she didn't die there. Plus there were a number of DOD folks, Raytheon employees, etc. on that alleged flight.

Seems like just the crew that might be smuggled into the "underground city" in the Virginia mountains where the shadow government base is. If I had the money, I'd hire a private investigator to track Ted Olson's every move. I'll bet he "disappears" a great deal of the time, hanging out with Babs in her not-so-eternal resting place.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

42. I must have missed that checkbox.....Damn!

:rofl:

[Strelnikov_]

12. Yes. He Would Really Miss Condi. Oops . . .

[FloridaPat]

6. Remember what happended in the White House when Jackie K left the

White House to travel. The girls streamed in to spend the night with Kennedy. Bush loves to impersonate great presidents. Maybe Gannons friends are dropping by.

[madrchsod]

7. the sofa is taking aaron`s roll of speaking for moses....

then she will be wander 40 years in the desert

[proud2BlibKansan]

9. Oh please no

That is all we need. :sarcasm:

[lonestarnot]

10. No shame just a light bulb truth flash.

[gizmo1979]

11. I don't know but if she

were my wife,whoever's plan it was to bring her to those locals would not have a job anymore.That was just nuts!She was lucky to get out alive!

[lonestarnot]

I feel a note of sympathy .... puke!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:



:smoke:

[Roxy66]

15. Yeah....I'm worried about her too. She is only playing the wife of Bush

she doesnt really believe in anything he does. I bet she even voted for Kerry. She was a Dem all of her life until she met *.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Was she really?

I wonder if she voted for Kerry too. That would be hilarious I think. I think Laura and George were set up like they used to do families and set them up with people. Laura had another boyfriend who was killed in that accident she was in and then George was with another girl who was African-American. George got the other girl pregnant and they had it set up for her to have an abortion. She was talking about it in 2002 and after she started going public she ended up dead. There's this show called "Passions" on NBC and on the show these two really rich families did business together and one had a son and one had a daughter the same age's and they were set up by their father's to get married. They both were in love with other people (the guy was inlove with an African-American and the girl was in love with a poorer boy who was a great person) and they had to get married. They had two daughters and a son and she had a son with the first guy she was with and kept the paternity a secret for a VERY long time until documents were leaked he wasn't a part of the family except through marriage by his mother (and they divorced). I think that's how it is with George and Laura. Is there any info out there about Laura's parents? They claim some friends set them up but I think there's something else there (call it "gut" instinct). You can just see it in their eyes. You don't see Bush look at Laura too much the way that the Clinton's or Kerry's look at each other for example.

[Dulcinea]

45. A modern-day arranged marriage.

Hell, it's good enough for his Saudi friends.

[gizmo1979]

40. I don't feel sympathy for

her I could care less.I'm saying if it was your wife would you want her to be doing that?

[lonestarnot]

44. Well my wife wouldn't want to be doing that, so I guess no LOL

My husband wouldn't either... because I wouldn't have married either in the first place.

[Strelnikov_]

13. The Whole Affair Does Seem Suspect

One would think security for the first lady would be a tad better.

[IADEMO2004]

14. Everything they do is so controlled and scripted.

The news about her trip this morning just doesn't fit.

[barb162]

16. no. She's the one who kicks his ass off the floor when he's plotzed.

She's the one who tells him to zipper up. He needs her.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. You're right he needs her

For his base. They have this whole "Christian family" thing going on. If they were to get a divorce it would be a HUGE ordeal to them.

[Roxy66]

17. Oh wow....this is so sad!! They got her out there parading around

Exposed to any sniper. Horrible thought , but if she was killed while she was in the middle east, that would give the neo-cons what they need to start an all-out holy-war. I cant believe they would let her be so EXPOSED. Not one other official has gone over there so open to protesters!!!

[gulliver]

18. If anything, it's probably Laura volunteering for martyrdom.

She's married to micro-man, she can't dress, her mother-in-law is Bar. What's there to live for?

[mopaul]

19. St. Laura of the Middle East

[IADEMO2004]

26. Wow! You are fast and good!

[DemonFighterLives]

31. Mo, she should have horns

Mrs. Demonfighter gave that response.

[Straight Shooter]

20. I always thought Rove would dream up a fake case of cancer for Laura.

I thought that would be the route he would take for sympathy support.

Laura needs to do some serious thinking about the kind of people she's surrounded by. They're using her. They have no respect for her whatsoever. OTOH, what's to respect?

[FreedomAngel82]

21. Interesting thought

Why be ashamed? It's a thought and you're wondering. Maybe he's planning something big and wants to keep her away so she doesn't get in the aftermath or something. :shrug: Also, don't forget that when the whole air plane incident was going on she was in the House with Mrs. Reagan and they fleed them to the basement and he was just out in Maryland bike riding with not a care in the world.

[kskiska]

27. I wonder why she chooses to wear pants in the middle-east

Seems incendiary, somehow.

[PurityOfEssence]

28. She's culturally tone-deaf, just like the rest of that mob

It's intrinsic to conservatism: when you have all the answers, exploring the ways of others just isn't necessary.

Maybe she's the one who pretzeled him on the face that night when he was in a drunken panic about Enron. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that she's the iron lady who keeps his snivelly, weak ass in line. Maybe this is how he gets his revenge.

This is all pretty silly, actually, but these guys are so supremely unprincipled that virtually anything's possible...

[undeterred]

29. It may be less incendiary than wearing a business suit which exposes

her legs in nylon stockings. I don't think its seen as mannish, but as modest.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Apparently she was protested in Jerusalem

Link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/laura_bush

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

33. Notice that this article says she was at the Dome of the Rock

That is THE big spot for the right-wing fundies and their crazy end-of-the-world predictions. Something to the effect that when a Jewish temple replaces the mosque that is currently there, that is the big sign that Jesus is getting ready to return right to that spot.

I read that article earlier and thought the same thing, which was -- holy cow, if something had really happened to her, there would be people going nuts all over the place.

Also, thought about those reporters asking Scotty how come Bush just rode his bike with seeming no concern about her when it was evacuated and didn't seem to care that no-one told him. Really, really weird.

[mopaul]

37. for the world's and our nation's sake, KEEP THE BUSH'S AT HOME

[Clark2008]

46. Um... that's not a "right wing fundie" belief. That's a Christian

belief.
It's much more believable to consider that if the Jews tear down the Dome of the Rock, it would launch a major Armageddon-type war than to think that everyone is just going to be Raptured and disappear.

[kskiska]

35. Maybe this trip was the work of Karen Hughes

Isn't she the latest in a string of P.R. women to sell the U.S. in the middle-east?

[goclark]

56. IMO a dress would have been more appropriate

for a first lady of the USA.

But Condi had on full body armor the other day in Iraq.

Maybe that is what Laura needed today.

[B Calm]

38. They'll do anything to get his ratings up! You can bet Rice had

something to do with this!

[Mr_Spock]

47. Who knows - it would make for some good TV though

:D

[Disturbed]

53. Arrogance.

Her handlers couldn't concieve that anyone would protest against her because she is so "loved" in Amerika. It's another screwup of the Bush Fascist Regime.

[Fire Walk With Me]

51. If anything happens to her, Bush wins. If nothing happens to her

Bush wins in the photo-op "good will" department.

Trying to think like these people hurts...
