Are Laura Bush's prostitution arrests a legitimate campaign issue?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

1. I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs to know more. nt

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. I think this might be around the same time she had her abortions.

[gardenista]

77. Careful. Your misogyny is showing. eom

[Feanorcurufinwe]

81. How so? Please explain.

[NV1962]

91. *chirp* *chirp*

:shrug:

[UpsideDownFlag]

2. i think that the media should keep repeating "shove it" over and over.

[Sugarbleus]

3. Absolutely...............

:evilgrin:

[mzmolly]

5. I guess the greater question is would the Republicans make it an issue

were it Teresa Heinz? You bet your ass they would.

I don't personally think it should be an issue, but my personal feelings don't really matter here.

[Old and In the Way]

6. Well, I'm nuetral about this.

But for the sake of the kids and to keep rumors from spreading, Bunny, I mean Laura, should address this in a very high profile way.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

10. in a very high profile way?

What? - like doing a spread in Playboy instead of Penthouse?

[0007]

80. Laura can't go without a cigarette that long.

[grytpype]

7. She did donkey porn in Tiajuana for six weeks.

I know this guy who has seen the video. If she denies she did donkey porn, she is a liar.

[hatrack]

47. Some people believe that she also did horse porn & mule porn

Insiders have hinted (off the record, of course) that there are other bestial acts too hideous to even be mentioned!

[Chelsea Patriot]

57. I had always heard Bunny's Scene was Hardcore Anal.

[0007]

82. Laura is tight like a dog!

At least that's what I've heard.

[Syrinx]

8. probably not, but the guy she killed might be.

[Guaranteed]

9. Dude, I was there.

She got these "Whore of the Year" and "Best BJ" awards, but she didn't even deserve 'em. She didn't even care about serving her country. She was just in it for the medals.

[RodneyCK2]

11. Well at least she reported for duty and was probably..

a success at her job, unlike her Tex-ass husband.

[grytpype]

12. She never took a shot in the face.

She says she did, but she never did.

13. Hey guys... ixnay on the exismsay

Remember, this isn't about sex.

This is about being straight with the American people

[troublemaker]

14. "a prairie whore?" Did Lauara Bush really say that? (link)

It's on the internet, so it must be true

I am speechless.

87. Great website!

[Spiffarino]

15. We should stick to the issues, even if some say...

...that Pickles came by her nickname honestly. You know, I don't want to go on record endorsing that kind of activity and I call on all whoremongers to stop the smear of our First Lady, even if some are saying that she was known to give the occasional Dirty Sanchez.

[Old and In the Way]

17. I'd feel better if McClellan would address this head-on (no pun

intended).

Problem is, if he refutes it, I'll believe it's true. And if he affirms it....well, I won't know what to believe about her anymore.

[Algomas]

20. LMAO, what the hell is a "Dirty Sanchez"?

[Morning Dew]

18. Yet she has the nerve to frown on Jenna's tongue antics

[underseasurveyor]

19. Oh my my mymymy. Talk about literally bein' in a Pickle.

But before I make any rash judgments I must confer with my spiritual advisor first. Oh my, Ms Betty Bowers isn't gonna be pleased when she hears this nuh-uh, that's for sure.
:evilgrin:

[0rganism]

21. I must know more before making my decision! Much More!

Who will help me learn more? Will it be Chris Matthews? Bret Hume? Aaron Brown? Jim Lehrer? Bill O'Reilly? Someone needs to take the bit and pull this wagon, because THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW! Perhaps it will be David Corn or Matt Drudge! There is a compelling interest at work here, folks.

It would be WRONG to decide on a campaign issue before having all possible information made available. We need to discuss the evidence, and whether we can find sufficient photographic record for and against the Laura Bush prostitution ring. Furthermore, there are several side issues at play: were her parents involved in pimping her? did she contract any venereal disease in her possible stint as a whore? did her career as a prostitute lead to any illicit substance abuse?

All this is incredibly relevant to how and whether we should accept this as a potential campaign topic.

Rofl... at you gif file. If you made it..great work..:-)

[Borgnine]

60. Oh my God.

Thank you for the best laugh I've had all day.

Mind if I save it?

[LibertyorDeath]

73. Save away!

Not mine not sure where I got it.

Download to much stuff. :)

[Solomon]

24. I'm totally lost here. What is this all about?

[Spiffarino]

25. Weeeelllll...

Some are saying this is about Pickles possibly being arrested for prostitution. This is in keeping with the notion that, like Michelle Malkin, Faux News, Karl Rove, and other GOP shills, you can use the term "some people say," to make some people believe anything about anybody without having to offer even the tiniest shred of evidence.

So, rather than fight the system, we go with it and enjoy it.

[MallRat]

28. Some are saying that Dick Cheney is into beastiality.

Some are saying that Condi Rice is having an affair with George W. Bush.

Some are saying that Karl Rove is a closeted transvestite.

However, I think they have all served our country honorably.

:eyes:

-MR

[Arkana]

89. Yep

I heard that Bill O'Reilly and Zell Miller are having a secret gay affair, and I call on both of them to prove it's not true, cause otherwise I figure it is.

[Spiffarino]

93. It must be a fact that Spot and Miller are amorously attached

See, I've googled my little fingers to the bone, but there is nothing out there that refutes their ongoing affair.

And you know what? I'm happy for them! I thought ol' Zell was a sack of shit sellout when he switched to the dark side, but now I know it was for love. Way to go!

Oops! I mean, some are saying it was...

[Green Lantern]

94. Where is the thread

that talks about Ann Coulter's botched sex change operation?

[SnohoDem]

26. Some people say...

...she made threesomes with her girlfriend a specialty.

[Chelsea Patriot]

72. I hear Bunny was behind the Big Dallas Syphilis Outbreak of'66.

[Jacobin]

27. When will she come out for sex workers rights?

I think this would be a good project for Laura for the few months she has left in the WH.

[JPZenger]

29. Repeat this story over and over so it can be denied

I believe the media should repeat this false accusation for free over and over each day (along with a denial) so that it can be put to rest.

[NV1962]

30. Yes, but IMO only the 1st and the last three arrests! (n/t)

[arwalden]

31. No Wonder She's Got Those Cock-Eyes

And to think we've been assuming it was a bad facelift and eye-tuck.

-- Allen

[in_cog_ni_to]

32. Are you kidding?

After what they did to Bill and Hillary and everyone who ever knew them. HELL YES this should be an issue...if it's true and DOCUMENTED.

Think about it. What would the repukes do if this was Teresa? Would they ignore it? We all know the answer to that is NO, they would not. They started this shit. I say fight fire with fire. Take a gun to a gunfight. What goes around, comes around. All's fair in love and war and THIS is WAR!

So, where do I read about this prostitution stuff and is it true? Is it documented? Do we have any records of the arrests or did daddy Bush have her records scrubbed too?

[NV1962]

33. Not only has she not denied it, she hasn't even addressed this issue!

What more proof do you need?

[troublemaker]

40. The arrest records were destroyed, and I have PROOF

The archives of the Dallas police and courts contain no record of her arrests. None!

The records are missing. This conspiracy keeps growing.

[NoPasaran]

34. No, but what the hell

[The Straight Story]

35. Cool, we can be just like the people we berate

Let's be just like them so we can 'win'. Of course, what do we really win when we become what we fight? Now more people will see it all as an ugly fight about who did what when and how more than who will do what when.

They sucked us into mudslinging, and we jumped in with both feet. It will never end, because no one is willing to turn the other cheek because of that age old republican tactic - fear.

So let us congratulate them and praise their awesome abilities with swift boat ads, let us revel and learn from their play book. If we keep at this, we will make them look like babies compared to the mud we can sling - we will be better repubs than they ever could hope to be.

Me, I guess I will travel my own road on all this. A little mud slinging and accusations will always play a part in elections, but when we take ourselves down to their level to get a thrill we are losing a little something of ourselves to play games their way.

'We must win' is the mantra, so we have to fight the same way they do. Good thing Martin Luther King, Ghandi, et al did not play the same game as the people they opposed. It might have been a harder road, may have been longer, but it was the right road. Politics will never be about the issues because when their side diverts from the issues we follow like lost dogs out of fear. They lead us around using fear like they do the american people, so we have no right to bitch and moan about people (sheeple as some call them) who follow them when they use fear to get them to follow along.

If you want to teach them a lesson, then you cannot be like them. We may well win the battle, but eventually I think we lose the war and become them as we mimic them.

At any rate, just ranting. Sorry if I got too serious :) It is an election year and people are expecting the worst to come out, the show must go on and who are we to disappoint ;)

[Droopy]

36. I agree

Well said.

[troublemaker]

37. a legitimate campaign issue? No, it's THE legitimate campaign issue

[WI_DEM]

38. I'm unfamiliar with this issue but where is this story coming from?

I'll vote yes anyway.

[IndianaGreen]

39. From a poster that provided no link nor any other source other than

his/her fertile imagination. It is a good exercise in seeing the similarities in behaviour among the most strident partisans of both major parties.

Remember when the Freepers tried to get the waitress at Chuy's fired for daring to card the Bush twins, and calling the cops on them?

[LoZoccolo]

41. Can you call a truce without a war?

Is it likely they'll stop doing what they do without a reason?

[troublemaker]

44. No Link? Ha!

The White House has now admitted to substantial parts of the allegations in the published story! She was in Dallas in 1966, just like the original scuri... er, *serious* allegations maintained.

Laura Bush was born on November 4, 1946, in Midland, Texas, to Harold and Jenna Welch. Inspired by her second grade teacher, she earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern Methodist University in 1968. She then taught in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973 she earned a master of library science degree from the University of Texas at Austin and worked as a public school librarian in Austin. In 1977 she met and married George Walker Bush. They are the parents of twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, who are named for their grandmothers.

[IndianaGreen]

52. Poppy Bush was in Dallas the day JFK was assassinated

is that enough evidence to say the Poppy Bush was the second shooter on Daley Plaza? Only if your name is Oliver Stone!

[maine_raptor]

70. Sorry Poppy Bush was in Houston that day, but

he did manage to get interviewed by the FBI in connection with the FBI's investigation into LHO's "connections" with Castro.

The FBI report is in the 26 volumes of Hearings and Exhibits of the Warren Commission

No BS, it's fact.

[LoZoccolo]

42. As Michelle Malkin said last week on Hardball...

"DON'T YOU WONDER??!!"

http://www.oliverwillis.com/node/view/329

[troublemaker]

45. I do wonder. Has Chris Matthews ever even ASKED Laura these questions?

[LoZoccolo]

46. There are legitimate questions regarding these arrests. n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

43. What's this all about?

Is this some gossip running around?

[troublemaker]

49. Gossip? No, TROUBLING QUESTIONS

wHEN questions like this are raised doesn't the media have to take them seriously? Present both sides?

People are talking about this. The Bush campaign needs to clear the air.

I will go on any TV show any time to confront a Bush campaign surrogate about these troubling questions. Until we have a full discussion of whether Laura Welch Bush is a prostitute how can we move on to the issues?

[Padraig18]

51. The only 'people talking about it' are the shit stirrers here at DU.

This kinda crap crosses the line...

:grr:

[Padraig18]

48. That assumes that there WERE any arrests, of course...

:wtf::puke:

[troublemaker]

50. Have you heard a denial? I haven't...

[Padraig18]

53. I've not seen a SHRED of *positive evidence* that they occurred.

Have you?

:wtf:

[troublemaker]

56. (whisper) dude, it's an interactive satire

It's an attack on the Swift Boat Veterans, not on Laura Bush. The spirit of the joke is that if one uses the same language used by the Swift Liars it is actually impossible to refute the *fact* that Laura Bush was a prostitute.

And as a matter of probabilities, it's 100 times more credible to think a college girl might dabble in prostitution than to think an officer would have "a plan" to volunteer for Vietnam and get three purple hearts as a way of avoiding service.

[Padraig18]

59. (whisper) dude, it's FUCKING SICK!

:puke:

[troublemaker]

61. Then IGNORE it!

[Padraig18]

62. NO!

I'll particpate as I see fit.

[IndianaGreen]

54. This is like saying that you were with Charlie Manson at the Spang Ranch

Have we heard a denial?

This is nothing but nonsense and makes everyone look like the lunatic fringe, but if you must have fun with it, don't let me stop you!

[rsmith6621]

55. LINKS PALease And a thought

or remove the thread........


If this is a joke it is really sick.......

Do you want Kerry in the White House in 71 days?????????....This kinda crapola gets read by those on the otherside and the Swingers too.

We need to really take a look at what we are posting here Joke or no Joke.....I would certianly hate have Shrub in power for four more years because people who are looking for answers here equate Kerry to this kind of mentallity....

[troublemaker]

66. Yes! This kinda crapola DOES get read by those on the otherside.

Soon Free Republic will have posts crying about the Dem smear campaign about Laura's prostitution arrests. And some folks on DU will say it makes us look bad and we will lose the election because of it... PLEASE!

Just like Bush lost to McCain.

If any freeper is dumb enough to complain about this, bring it on.

The point is that it's almost impossible to defend against a smear, even one that was started in a post that started it was false. (I started this with, "I didn't make to have to make... er, bring this up, but...")

[IndianaGreen]

69. you should address your post to the person that made the allegation

which was not me.

[Capn Sunshine]

63. That's the "Spann Ranch"

and I was. But only to visit with his loose women.

Meanwhile, people are discussing serious charges that should be addressed.

[IndianaGreen]

68. I must have been thinking of Bishop Spong

I stand corrected, thanks!

[Spiffarino]

86. I think it was the "Spahn" Ranch

I know it was pronounced like the word "spawn" but not sure about the spelling.

I grew up a few miles from there. My sister went to school with "Tex" Watson. She said he was a real freak and a scary dude.

[QC]

90. Yep, it's Spahn.

http://employees.oxy.edu/jerry/spahn.htm

[Spiffarino]

92. Well, then...

...thanks for the QC, QC.

:headbang:

[ArkDem]

100. Spahn

[Feanorcurufinwe]

74. Does that mean you voted 'no'?

[Capn Sunshine]

64. Is anyone seeing this on Freep?

Is that where it started?
Or was is Drudge or Newsmax?

[Greyskye]

65. Anyone voting 'yes' is voting that the SBV ads are legitimate

Think it through, people! If this thing about Pickles is, as is said above, an 'interactive satire based on the Swift Boat Vets' campaign of lies against Kerry; then it is no more of a legitimate campaign issue than that one is.

Why are you lowering yourselves to the re-pukes level?

[DURHAM D]

67. I agreed - please stop this. n/t

[Supply Side Jesus]

71. LEAVE LAURA OUT OF HERE!!!

Keep her out here....please, the country can't take it!

Dont go here Laura!

[Inland]

75. "This is an important question that deserves debate"

[gardenista]

76. Another bullshit "poll" to promote a lie.

How sad that you think this is funny.

[troublemaker]

78. Thanks for the Republican talking points!!

[gardenista]

84. Nice projection. nt

[troublemaker]

79. Funny how the pro-Bush posts here dominate, but only got 9 actual votes.

[swag]

83. No, the prostitution arrests have nothing to do with her qualifications to

be Preznit.

[hexola]

88. PM bump

[LoZoccolo]

95. Hey wait, you got upset that you were confused about this...

...and now you bump it?

[hexola]

96. I think they deleted the other theads...including mine...

not sure why this one should survive...?

[Endangered Specie]

97. Should we call her the Vice Lady now?

Oops, thats already taken. rats.

Madame Pickles.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

99. Good one, lol

[0007]

98. kick
