More of Laura Bush "Unplugged." In her Exclusive interview with O'Donnell
Edited on Wed Feb-23-05 12:55 PM by KoKo01
But it was during a visit with elementary-school students that she opened up about herself.


O'Donnell "What's the most important thing about being first lady?” asked one school child.

BUSH:“Well, the most important thing about being first lady is being married to the president,” she said, laughing.

...........

O'Donnell: I know you don't consider yourself a clotheshorse, but people raved about your outfit on Inauguration Day. Are you becoming more hip? Are your daughters helping you with this?

Bush: I need some help, I'm sure. But, no, I mean, I like clothes and things, really. But I really enjoyed getting to know a number of American designers. I certainly didn't know any before.

2. If Hilary Clinton said this, the press wouldn't let her live it down!
"O'Donnell: You have rejected the label of "traditional first lady." How do you want yourself to be seen?

Bush: I just want to be seen as Laura Bush. I'm not wild about the term “first lady,” I think there's something slightly artificial about the title, the so-called title, or whatever it is. And, you know, I want to be known for who I am and what I work on, and that's in fact what I think most women want to be known for."

8. Hillary was pillioried..way back when
Remember before the 1992 election when Hillary said about not sitting around and baking cookies (in reference to a First Lady spot), and she caught all kinds of hell about that?

10. That's my point Exactly!!!
An independent First Lady was frowned upon, what makes Laura better than Hilary? NOTHING IMHO!

15. I could be wrong, but I think Martha Washington used the title
or President's Lady/ First Lady

This discussion about her "title"was decided loooong ago

You'd think a Librarian would know that or maybe would want to look it up if she had a question about it

I am convinced she's selfmedicating and really who can blame her married to him and in that family?

I blame her

4. she gave that kid a non-answer worthy of Scott McClellan
NBC calls that "opening up?" Didn't that kid deserve an actual answer?

16. Her latest
"Mrs. Bush also offered knowing sympathy to the families who put up with the long absences, frequent moves and other sacrifices that go along with having a member of the military in their midst."
``I know a little bit about having your life turned upside down because the person you love wants to serve the country he loves,'' she said."

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/international/AP-Charming-Bush.html?

What the hell uis she talking about? Her life was turned upside down? Whose life and how does she know a "little bit" about it. Where does she get off with statements like that when all she did was work a few years until she married into money, then quit for the rest of her life. She raised twins to be as much tied to entitlement as the family they were spawned from and to this day, still do not have a job--a real job that is and continue to party in posh places as their main form of entertainment and she is still a stay at home Mom taking care of the twins and not doing a damn thing but what she is told to do which involves always reading to little black kids and trying to save black kids from joining gangs. This statement boggles my mind. She has had her life turned upside down? Oh please, she has had nothing of the sort and who the hell "raved" about her inaugural gowns? They were absolutely ugly, unflattering, a shock and awe to the eyes and fugly.

17. She's as "out of touch" as he is. It's incredible how much they like
to play "dumb." I guess they think their RW Fundie Falwell buddies would think they were getting "uppity" if they speak more than one sentence. :eyes:

20. What I'd like to know ... Is she playing dumb and pretending to be bland,
or is it not an act? The RW likes this kind of behavior so much (in its women) that we may never know.

23. After listening to this dribble for four years
I don't think it's an act. No wonder her kids drink.

I can't stomach her.
