8. That's not fair

For one, its very superficial, and there are plenty of average looking women who have some age on them that you wouldn't want to look too closely at. I bet you're really young or you wouldn't find that much wrong with her appearance. Her choice in husbands, however I find suspect.

I also don't pay any attention to anything that comes out of her mouth because its all scripted for her.

9. It's not her physical appearance, it's the whole package

I don't care about her age.

I don't care about her average, below average, or above average looks, whatever they might be.

I'm not really young. I'm not really old, either, but I'm not really young.

I just don't agree with George Bush's assertion, during the 2004 election, that "one of the benefits of electing me for four more years is that you get Laura as First Lady for four more years."

Maybe her stuff is all scripted for her, but she makes the choice, as an adult, to read the script. I remember all of the "LEAVE LAURA OUT OF IT, SHE'S OFF LIMITS" stuff that was posted on DU during the election...saying she couldn't be blamed for marrying Bush, that he's fair game but she should be left alone, blah blah blah blah BLAH. Then she took her ass in hand and did interviews slamming John Edwards.

So, apologies in advance if I gave the impression that I'm a young scalliwag and / or whippersnapper taking a cheap shot at the superficial qualities of Laura Bush.

No, I'm just so sick and tired of the media coverage of her "Desperate Housewives, Zinger-Filled Stand Up Comedy Act" that I took a cheap shot at the whole package. The inner "beauty" and the outer "beauty."

Proof once again that to be great is to be misunderstood, I guess.

10. I haven't followed the lastest Ass-kissing lovefest on MSM

But I know that she is meaningless to any discussion about anything other than women submitting to repressive rich families. And she could never be as bad as this:

12. You're right...

...and yeah, part of me honestly (no sarcasm at all) feels that Laura's absorption into the Bush Crime Syndicate is kind of sad.

Then I see photos like this:



...and then I'm right back on DU, making another "Pickles Post."

Read THIS article (excerpted below) and maybe you'll understand why I'm feeling the way I am right now. Maybe not, but I'm just trying to be honest here. There is a HUGE surge of "make Bush likable" activity going on in the media right now, and Laura...as a willing accomplice or faithful Stepford stooge...got tossed on center stage. I was not impressed.

Laura Bush's Coming-Out Party

By Dan Froomkin
Special to washingtonpost.com
Monday, May 2, 2005; 11:51 AM

Laura Bush's uproarious and ribald roast of her husband at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner didn't just win laughs.

It also capped a slow and up until now subtle transformation during which the first lady has emerged with a new assertive style in the East Wing of the White House, becoming an increasingly confident dabbler into public policy, and by a large margin the most popular face of the Bush administration. Not to mention a natural at stand-up.

Among the first lady's funniest lines:

· "George always says he's delighted to come to these press dinners. Baloney. He's usually in bed by now. I'm not kidding. I said to him the other day, 'George, if you really want to end tyranny in the world, you're going to have to stay up later.' I am married to the president of the United States, and here's our typical evening: Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep, and I'm watching 'Desperate Housewives' -- with Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife."

· "But George and I are complete opposites -- I'm quiet, he's talkative, I'm introverted, he's extroverted. I can pronounce 'nuclear'. The amazing thing, however, is that George and I were just meant to be. I was the librarian who spent 12 hours a day in the library, yet somehow I met George. So many mothers today are just not involved in their children's lives. Not a problem with Barbara Bush. People often wonder what my mother-in-law's really like. People think she's a sweet, grandmotherly, Aunt Bea type. She's actually more like, mmm, Don Corleone."
