Laura Bush to appear on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

WASHINGTON — Facing criticism that he appeared disengaged from the disaster wrought by Hurricane Katrina, President Bush has been looking for opportunities to show his concern. But the White House will take the effort a step further Tuesday, venturing into untested waters by putting the nation's first lady on reality television.

Laura Bush will travel to storm-damaged Biloxi, Miss., to film a spot on the feel-good, wish-granting hit "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Mrs. Bush sought to be on the program because she shares the "same principles" that the producers hold, her press secretary said.

<snip>
It's not clear exactly what Mrs. Bush will do, but Tom Forman, executive producer and creator, said he is hoping that she'll just pitch in and help unload.

"I think we say, 'Mrs. Bush, the stuff is over here, the people are over there, could you grab the other end of that mattress?' " Forman said. Press secretary Susan Whitson envisioned something closer to handing out clothing and thanking volunteers.

Forman said the episode will air in November.

3. That could easily backfire...
Since it's such an obvious publicity stunt. Americans like compassion, but they don't like phonies.

9. Dear God
someone poke out my eyes please! Will she be on "Desperate Housewives" too? Maybe she can do a spot for Monday Night Football where she bakes cookies for Terell Owens.
