Is "Laura for President" a joke or a real possibility?
Dear God, I hope they mean it! If I could have but one wish, it would be to watch that vacuous twit attempt to explain to the American people how she is qualified to be our President. Let's examine the curriculum vitae she would have to defend:

1. Used family connections to beat a vehicular homicide rap.
2. Used to be a librarian.
3. Spawned a couple of drunken sluts.
4. Tosses an occasional fuck to a mass murderer.
5. Tells a mediocre "horse masturbation" joke.

Have I left anything out? If not, then in the immortal words of old Bunnypants himself, "BRING IT ON!!"

12. In 1963 she ran a stop sign and broadsided her ex-boyfriend,
killing him. She was found to be "not responsible" and no charges were ever pressed. Records of the incident were later expunged. Coincidence?

13. Since this was long before she was part of the Bush family, I wondered

what influence you were referring to. If she was a juvenile and not convicted of any crime, in many states, her records would ordinarily be expunged upon her 18th birthday.

On the streets of Mobile, AL I saw a van with FL plates and a handmade "Laura Bush in '08" sign in the back window. OMG.

7. It's a joke. I don't think even they can keep a straight face saying it.
I assume they're floating the idea for a reason--maybe to force a comparison in the public's mind between the she-devil Hillary and a saintly demure Republican woman. Or maybe it's just fodder to get newspapers to fill up space so they won't be tempted to write about actual reality. But it's not serious, IMO.

8. I think they are just trying to capitalize on her popularity with
much of the population, hoping that empathy towards her will translate into popularity points for her husband.

9. Joke, I Hope!! But...
Lately she acts like she thinks she's better than her incompetent ass of a husband. Makes me wonder if she has secret ambitions.

After all, her "approval numbers" are higher than the idiot's. Notice he takes her almost everywhere with him now. They might be willing to throw her into the campaign to combat Hillary.

The right wing Promise-Keeper types would certainly prefer a Stepford wife to one with a brain!!

10. LOL
Of cause she is not qualified to be the president, lol. However if she steals the election, she will be just a figure president. The real rulers would be oil companies and republican party!
