Laura Bush Seeks Advice From Rwanda Leader
Laura Bush Seeks Advice From Rwanda Leader

By JENNIFER LOVEN
Associated Press Writer

July 14, 2005

Laura Bush says she is looking to Rwandan President Paul Kagame to suggest how the U.S. can make sure that a genocide his country experienced more than a decade ago is not repeated in the Sudan's Darfur region or anywhere else.

Mrs. Bush was closing out a weeklong trip through Africa with a visit Thursday to Rwanda, where a 100-day slaughter in 1994 by Hutu militias killed nearly half a million minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus. She was being joined there by Cherie Blair, wife of British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

"I look forward to talking with both the first lady of Rwanda, as well as the president of Rwanda, about what the rest of the world can do in situations similar to this, like in Darfur, and see what they think is the best way for the world to help in situations like their genocide," the U.S. first lady said Wednesday to reporters.

2. My response to her would be...
Fuck you, you stupid, sappy biatch. Your stupid fucking cohorts in the Republican party were too busy skewering Clinton over Somalia to give a fuck about half a million black people being slaughtered. You didn't care then. You don't care now.

Her POS husband would know something about genocide.

In one ear and out the other.

More PR for this stupid POS family. And, I see the wife of Blairrrrr is there. My suspicions are confirmed. Where's rover's wife? Does that pig even have one????

4. Mrs. Cuckoo Bananas out on her quest to save the world. Too bad
she never carries through on a damn thing. I'm wondering whether the women of Afganistan are still waiting for her to do all those wonderful things she said she was gonna do for them, like schools, civil rights, etc.?

People like her because they say she's 'nice'. I can't quite figure that out. She's all show and no go just like her husband. Talks quite the good game but never follows through on her promises.

5. Wasn't she going to concentrate and work with the youth gangs....
here in the US to stop all the violence. I guess she must have already solved that problem and is on to Africa to solve its problems. Superwife saves the world.

7. Laura's a bad mamma-jamma, out to save the world while propping
up her chickenshit AWOL idiot husband. Like I say, people like her because she's nice. Well, they hated Eva Braun for doing the same thing she is. And Eva was probably a 'nice' person too.

6. She and Rice-Good Cop Bad Cop
Condi runs around the world threatening, meddling, and trying to tell every country what to do; Laura-the traditional passive-aggressive asks countries what can be done.

9. The very first thing that came to mind...
Naw, it's too harsh and ugly...

Oh, who am I kidding? This is the Bu$h Crime Family.

When I read that Pickles was asking the President of Rwanda for advice on genocide, I immediately suspected she was talking to him about shipping cases of cheap Chinese machetes to American Fundamentalists.

10. The rotating PR message...
Hmmm, it was first gang violence, then it was helping the Afghan women and now it's the genocide. And I'm sure there are countless other little missions pickles has taken up and promptly dropped.

Moron* is a blithering idiot and now it's appearing that pickles has the attention span of a gnat.

Here is a short conversation between the two...

Late one night as the two get ready for bed...

pickles: Oh leader of the free world* did you put the cat out?

LFW*: the cat is rubbing it's ass on the carpet! bwahahahaha!

pickles: what cat?
