The leg thing is a distraction.. nothing more..nothing less

[SoCalDem]

When was the last time we even SAW a picture with Laura's legs?

She's always wearing pantsuits or long gowns.

This whole thing is just another pathetic ploy to
change the subject" and to somehow catapult her into a position of "spockslady" for skin cancer..

If they had "wanted" to keep this quiet, it would have been oh-so simple, but since the surgery, she all of a sudden feels compelled to show a little leg :puke:

and guess what?

it's working :)

1. 'Spockslady' Yep, that's what she is alright. (Part Vulcan.)

2. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar......

Trying to make this into some kind of conspiracy makes us look like moonbats.

3. Except this is the first time I've ever SEEN her legs. She always wears pants

or a long gown.

It's definitely being "milked".

8. Indeed

So she had skin cancer and wanted to show her leg. We had Johnson and his appendix scar. Big deal.

9. IIRC, LBJ showed a gallbladder scar...pulling his shirt up was one thing...

(and the picture is still lodged in my brain, taking up space), but pulling his pants down would have been quite another! ;)

4. She probably intentionally got cancer just to f*ck with us.

14. never said she did.. Just that the reaction to the press' interest

is a little bit too much...by half.

The WH wanted it noticed or mzLauraB would'a kept on wearin' those dee-lightful pantsuits she ALWAYS wears..

5. I forgot which forum I was in.

I saw the title and I thought this was a Lounge picture thread.

7. Too bad the media doesn't focus on all of the Americans who

can't just pop into their doctors office (no insurance) and have a suspicious blotch on the skin looked at....

[SemperEadem]

10. I agree... it's a distraction

while skin cancer is a very serious issue, pimping her 'privacy' to garner sympathy for her fuck-up of a husband is going a little too far... funny, how earlier in the week when she was backhanding Rice, the reporter didn't notice a big 6-inch patch on her leg and ask her what that was about. Perhaps it was because she was wearing pants and there wasn't any cancer issues with her. She's not above the suspicion of allowing Rove and his ilk to make it up to get sympathy, attention and be a distraction. All of a sudden, she's wearing skirts? I've always seen her in pants and long dresses.

And of course, the media has gotten on its knees again with this one.

12. exact.y

and we are not bad for speaking the truth

[BleedingHeartRN]

11. So true...

I'm pretty sure that squamous cell carcinoma is so common and easily treated, it's not even counted on overall cancer statistics.

Pathetic attempt at diverting attention away from anything important. Of course the media is as distractable as a 4-year-old with severe ADHD, so it was on every frickin' news broadcast I saw today :banghead:

13. Yep...SoCal...a "Truth to Power" Post...and thanks for it!

Sympathy for something many of us have had and not gone around chirping about because our Hubby or SO was in deep trouble.
