PHOTO: laura fails to find matching pants for her Germany appearance

[diamond14]

for a last minute effort, laura heaves on an old WWII jacket...laura never ceases to EMBARRASS the people of the United States of America, with her drape dresses and old Goodwill jackets....



U.S. first lady Laura Bush, wife of U.S. President George W. Bush, enters the podium as she visits the Gen. H.H. Arnold High School in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt, Germany, Tuesday Feb. 22, 2005. President Bush will arrive in Germany on Wednesday Feb. 23, 2005 for talks with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Banner in background reads 'Welcome to Germany Mrs. Bush'.

1. Looks like an expensive camel colored blazer to me!

[zbird]

2. It may be expensive, but it is still FUGLY!

[ohio_liberal]

6. Looks like it to me too

She's been wearing a lot of classic Chanel-esque clothing lately.

[Mabus]

3. No, that's part of the charm of the "Marcia Brady" collection

it really mixes it up in a hip and groovy way. LOL.

[LibDemAlways]

4. Looks like something she picked up in

a Thrift shop. I had a jacket just like that in the early '70s.

And why the blue pants? Did she get dressed in the dark?

[diamond14]

8. looks like the enlisted man's WWII overcoat.....keeps bush* WAR theme

enlisted man's WWII overcoat...



with a slight variation on that WAR theme...laura appears in Germany

[aden_nak]

5. Okay, I don't like the Stepford Sweetheart, but her clothes are fine.

Besides, if you had to fuck George once every second Thursday, you'd have some issues, too.

[Riding this Donkey]

9. I think she only f's him once every two years!

that's why we have a war every other!

[booksenkatz]

7. Gak, what must the shoes look like?

Does one wear caramel-brown shoes or marine-blue shoes with such an outfit? Am glad the photo does not answer that question for me. I'd rather not know what footwear our Fashion Queen picked for this ensemble.
:scared:

Or maybe you could take pretty much any shoes and throw up on them and they'd match perfectly.

10. Color Sensing Processor Defective

It looks to me like the color sensing processor in the visual unit must be defective. Or it could be a software bug. They should probably check that out before they boot up the Laurabot tomorrow.

[diamond14]

17. Xanax....laura's SMILES and lost her color sending processor...but heh

the Xanax keeps her just sitting there SMILING and occasionally drooling out the corner of her mouth...PERFECT for a Stepford Wife...

[Warpy]

11. She was clean, casual, and covered

Nothing wrong with that. It's a HIGH SCHOOL, not an audience with the Queen.

I still wish she'd find a colorist. That hair color and lipstick really don't suit her.

[Ripley]

18. And please Laura - get outside a little more!

She looks as pale as a Vampire. Even bronzer would look better than that!

[diamond14]

21. hahahahaha....the bigotry of LOW EXPECTATIONS...

we've gotten so used to the trailer trash that NOW, we're pleasantly surprised if their just CLEAN and COVERED......LOL.....

[Canuckistanian]

12. It looks like a German Army officer jacket, circa 1940

[RobertSeattle]

13. Does her facial expression EVER change?

And do they Call it Bo-Tex in Crawford?... :evilgrin:

[jeanarrett]

16. i think she's trying to match the school's colors.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. and does her hair ever grow?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

34. No. Have you seen her stand-in?

[senseandsensibility]

14. I like the jacket

but you're right, the pants don't match. And there seems to be a weird photo-shopped quality to this that I've noticed in other photos posted here. Not that I'm accusing you of doing it, of course. She just always looks like a cardboard cut out.

[KarenS]

15. even if you put lipstick on a pig,,,,,

:)

I don't know exactly what it is about her, but I cannot stand to see her, let alone hear her speak !!

[Occulus]

19. This is only a *slight* improvement over the drapes.

[ernstbass]

22. Looks like polyester double knit

[Colorado Blue]

23. I feel sorry for her. I'll bet she's scared to death. nt

[AlCzervik]

24. Yet another fashion violation from Laura

go see the whole collection at http://www.bettybowers.com/bushglam.html

[smirkymonkey]

36. One of my favorite fashion tips...

"To show my commitment to foreigners-relations, I have taken to styling myself after Lotte Lenya and dressing as an Aeroflot stewardess (Cabin Class) for state occasions."
--Laura

[benddem]

25. at least she isn't wearing

the slipcover from the Barcalounger that Condi was wearing. Thanks Daily Show for that line.

[Bluebear]

26. MUST every outfit of hers have buttons the size of coasters?

[Binka]

27. YES They Are Reminders Of Her Next Drink

Big buttons, Big pockets, Big Cocktail. Any more questions?

[Bluebear]

29. No more questions, just a welcome to DU!

:toast:

[Pooka Fey]

28. Pickles can't be bothered to open a fashion magazine and learn something.

This is just shows another example of the Repug CONTEMPT for the Arts - and yes, fashion is an art. Anything to do with refinement, culture, and beauty is pissed on by these Neanderthals.

[Dulcinea]

30. The coat would be OK with matching pants.

But the lipstick is the wrong shade. Too dark.

Is she going for a Goth look?

[Bridget Burke]

33. It would also be better if it actually fit.

We make jokes about her clothes coming from WalMart, but they really cost quite a bit of money.

It's not as if she had anything more important to do that dress well. Oh, wait--she's against gangs! Perhaps she should add more bling-bling to her accessories?

[LittleWoman]

31. What can I say? The woman is a mess

from head to toe and inside and out. She shouldn't leave the house and by the way she should keep her cowboy husband at home with her.

[Ilsa]

32. I don't like the color, but I like the jacket.

I don't know why the pants are blue. They look stupid. She always wears the wrong shade of lipstick. Her lips are waaaaaay too thin for that color.

She should stopover in Paris for a makeover.

[mark414]

35. who the fuck cares?

it's not a bad coat and i think it's in poor taste to verbally assault this woman (or the twins for that matter)

no one liked it when they attacked hillary or chelsea so why does everyone gotta be so hypocritical? leave her alone and save the energy for her asshole husband and his band of thieves

[Eric J in MN]

37. I don't care how she dresses (nt)
