Laura Bush doesn't believe bad polls on husband
Hey Pickles -- lay off the sauce!!!!


WASHINGTON (Reuters)
First Lady Laura Bush said on Sunday she does not believe opinion polls showing her husband's approval ratings at record low levels.

nterviewed on Fox News Sunday, Laura Bush said she did not think people were losing confidence in
President George W. Bush, despite a series of polls showing support for him at its lowest point in his five-year presidency and among the lowest for any president in the past 50 years.

"I don't really believe those polls. I travel around the country. I see people, I see their responses to my husband. I see their response to me," she said.

"As I travel around the United States, I see a lot of appreciation for him. A lot of people come up to me and say, 'Stay the course'."

Many recent polls have put Bush's job approval rating below 35 percent. One, the Harris poll, published last Friday, measured his approval at 29 percent, the first time any survey has put his support below the 30 percent mark. Two other polls published last week put his job approval at 31 percent.

5. Typical enabler attitude.
Of course, would she really say in public, yeah, those polls are sinking faster than a dead 7 1/2 lb. perch and we just don't know what to do. Maybe we should just pack the helicopter and leave.

6. She's not high
She's just trapped in the same "silence all dissent" echo chamber that her husband and his key advisors are. When all you hear is your own BS, pretty soon you start to believe it.

7. What did you expect her to say to that question?
"I know he's an idiot, but he's MY IDIOT?"

Bolten is putting Laura out there because HER poll numbers are so much better than Shrub's, he's HOPING it will help.

Bolten has an impossible order to fulfil. It's HIS job to get Shrubs poll numbers up, and I expect to see all sorts of trial balloons in the coming months. He's got to try everything in an effort to find SOMETHING that might work!

23. LOL! Plus, I'm terribly concerned about those hybrid mutant animals
or whatever they are, which I presume to be escaping from secret labs all over the country and running loose in our public parks, etc.

I haven't left the house since the State of the Union Address, in fact.

when you take into account that they are hand pick and vetted by the Secret Service.

Nutjob bitch!!

If ever there were a case of congenital lobotomy, she's it. A waste of space and flesh...and she's a KILLER to boot.

17. but I suppose she would believe any polls
that were supportive of this abortion we call the Iraq war or NSA wiretapping. She disgusts me. I can't believe FSN would waste air time on her - well OK, we are talking about Fox. When faced with a challenge, put the person that tests the best in front of the cameras and make them lie their asses off. Standard bushco strategy. I hope all of them crawl in a hole and never get out, including Laura.

They're putting her out front, instead of the Chimp. I don't trust her anymore than any of the rest of them.

27. If she believed the good ones
then she needs to believe the bad ones.

Kind of like a person who makes excuses when the scale reads higher than they would like. Must be water gain, or the clothes or the salt on the bagel. But when the scales shows some weight loss, it's taken at face value.

Can't have it both ways.

28. Trotting Laura out today is right out of the playbook (both admin. & M$M)
On M$M this past week they were talking about how, even though W's poll #'s are tanking fast, Laura still has about a 61% approval rating. I heard them musing about whether her popularity might could rub off on the blivet.

Well, I'm guessing they figured they might as well give it a try... couldn't hurt, eh?! So, here she is all over your Sunday TV screen, Mrs. Booosh... please boost Georgie's numbers up, please!!!

30. Mmmm-
Consider the average thug mind, passionately addicted to the sales literature of the cult. Their biggest problem is the straying of the base and said base worships her.
This strategy will probably improve the Numbers a little or, at least, keep them from falling quite as fast.

I don't think many people donate to the Republican party if they are ticked off by the President. Poor lady, she is living in a really warped world.
