Laura Bush says CBS documents are fakes
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040914/ap_on_el_pr/bush_14

On Monday, first lady Laura Bush said she thought the documents were probably fakes. "You know, they probably are altered and they probably are forgeries, and I think that's terrible, really," she told Radio Iowa in an interview.

Besides, I lied. I really don't have pink plastic furniture - it melted when my lava lamp tipped over. I had to replace it with those plastic cubes cartons of milk come in. It's great because when you stand up after sitting on them, your ass looks like a Belgian Waffle.

Which reminds me, I'm hungry for some reason...

11. Since she didn't even know Stupidhead then
I'm not sure how she would know. Does being a librarian give a person special powers to spot forgeries?

And, forgive me, but what about the issue: Why did George W. Bush refuse a direct order in 1972 to take a physical?

14. Who cares about "probably?"
I could say that her husband is "probably" and ass hole, but what would that prove?

It is much better to listen to someone willing to show proof that her husband is an ass hole.

One will not have to look far to find that evidence here.

(How did I do with my "Republican twist and spin?")

from the Bush camp to call them fakes. So they use Laura. CBS trots out proof they are real and then the White House says well Laura was just expressing her opinion. Or my favorite theory: No one attacks Laura for her views so the entire White House jumps on the bandwagon calling them fake and the Dan the man shows them otherwise catching all of them in a big orchestrated lie....

18. Figure of sympathy ploy
If anything this proves that the documents have some weight. They send Laura out to dimiss them, and since she is now seen as a stand-by-her-man, non-male, non-Prez, non-threatening figure they can abuse to buy some doubt.

And throwing doubt, is their game. The dregs of Right-wing media are out there not talking about the documents as all other sources seek to discredit the docs with no proof, only conjecture.

The Prez stay above it all while the little woman is out there chirping in his defense.

28. Wow. So, Mrs. Bush, you must have some new evidence that we haven't seen.
That's a pretty bold statement, considering that the White House has declined all comment on this topic.

Perhaps you can share with us your evidence on this matter that led you to this conclusion?

Right?

30. She does not have a clue
Edited on Tue Sep-14-04 12:50 PM by Marianne
what it is all about. Someone told her to memorize the memo,she did, and so she trots out her fat ass and vacant head and says something like this."It's horrible, really" Laura you very well know what horror is since you have sold yourself out to it since you married your irresponsible little frat boy. You yourself have become a horror.



I suspect she neither has read one document nor knows what the hell is involved in the whole thing. Laura, scrape the wax off your face and go pat your evil husband on the ass in front of the cameras, as a demonstration of your mindless loyalty.

Wonder what her reward is for her complicity in lies. A pat on the ass in front of the cameras, making her the envy of all who are watching? She thinks. Or maybe another $100,000 necklace from the Saudi's.

35. "Probably"? "PROBABLY"?????????????
They are "probably" fakes? They are "probably" altered? They are "probably" forgeries?

Wouldn't someone who proposed that George Bush's service was 100% honorable and without blemish be saying that they were absolutely 100% phoney and fake and that George Bush never ever put pressure on anyone in the Guard for favorable treatment in sugercoating his evaluations and that George Bush never violated a direct order while in the Guard?

If you were convinced that your spouse was 100% innocent of the charges raised by these kinds of memos, would you be using the word "probably"?

If this were a police report instead, and the officer at the scene suggested in his notes that your spouse, for example, had committed a murder, and you were convinced of his innocence, would you be saying it was "probably" wrong?

Anything that Laura Bush has to say about this issue has no significance.
