<snip>
George and Laura Bush’s marriage has collapsed as his approval ratings plummet and a host of mounting personal problems rip the first couple apart and push them to secretly lead separate lives!

GLOBE has learned that while George and Laura still appear as the first couple at various public functions, they hardly speak to one another in private and don’t even want to be in the same room together.

"When the cameras aren’t on, they have nothing to do with one another," a longtime friend confides to GLOBE. "There’s no interaction at all."

"For all practical purposes, they’ve broken up."

the front page yesterday!

I :loveya: David Horsey.

People are obsessed with the Clinton marriage - yet everyone takes the Bush marriage at face value. I still think a lot of men are just jealous of Clinton. I mean jealous of his way with the ladies, among other things.

BTW - Tweety went on and on about how he hated to be away from his wife for more than a day or two. It was like he was protesting too much.

He starts to sweat and squirm in his chair every time he mentions her.

And he has a WIFE? A real wife, not a "beard"?

Why else would he go all a-twitter over her?

He acts like an 8th-grader who's got the schwingees for the student teacher.

Bill and Hillary. That's why they all started obsessing about them simultaneously.

wife for more than a couple of days. He's really afraid that she might wake up and ask herself why she is tied to such a dribble-tongued fcukwit.

that I would DEFINITELY enjoy being away from him for a lot more than a day or two. Matter of fact, I'd look for ANY reason I could to get away from him as much as I could!

Has he had a show where he doesn't bring her name up?

The lovely misses Tweety was a regular guest once upon a time. There was no doubt in my mind that he had little respect for her and wouldn't allow her to say anything before he would interupt and marginalize her. What a spokesperson for marrital bliss.

Since I think the Bush Like President on that show's marriage isn't going too hot either.

Charles Logan was NIXON. He looked like Nixon. He was smarmy and crooked like Nixon. Family and I laughed that they dug up Nixon for that role.

Didn't catch this week's episode? Finito, amigos.

'Course, Jack may be finito, too...



:cry:

Maybe Shrub's been drugging her this whole time! Well, let's hope she turns on him and brings him down with a smirk on her face, like Martha did to Charles!

If this is true, I have new respect for Laura. I always wondered how a bright woman could put up with all that. Maybe she can't?

That and a pint of Jim Beam every night usually does the trick:evilgrin:

I think she is, under it all, a decent person who is stuck. Really, really stuck. I'll bet he scares the hell out of her.

And I have a feeling that one of these days she's going to have enough. And boy howdy, when she does, she's going to blow and God help anybody who's around, including the Shrub. Of course that would be an event that I would pay good money to watch:evilgrin: Bush boy getting his ass kicked royally by Laura, yep, I'd pay real good money to watch that.

the wheel with that expression on her face!

Or maybe....

Well, I'll shut up before the Secret Service knocks on my door.

I have never thought she was any more than a pretty face covering up his crap. I lost all respect I had for her a long time ago.

And don't forget, she did kill her high school boyfriend. :)

a bit preserved. But I really like the concept that she is pissed as hell at GWB for his incompetence. Try living with THAT for the next 30 years!

Will those assorted tabloids never learn?

First the Enquirer...now the Globe.

I suppose because it's Pickles, they'll get a botox attack.

charities assistance in NO. They had dinner with the idiot and pickles. Charles lectured the idiot on his lack of social responsibility.

I wondered if it was a photoshopped pic or something. Pickles looks ready for the rubber room!

:o

The look on his face (and hers) is consistent enough.

Those Brits are so cheeky. ;)

He really did? Can you find a link? I want to read that story!!!

his new wife had dinner at the WH. It shouldn't be too hard to find. Unfortunately, I am not good at finding anything on the net.

If they break up, I want me a piece of that

to lift the spirits.

Did she do this on purpose??? It is absolutely NOT normal... it's very strange to me....

I had my photo taken recently and the photographer prompted me to extend my neck to hide the second chin and to open my eyes WIDE.

I am no fan of Laura but I won't critic her looks--glass house and all.

and opening her eyes wide for better camera angle and she went too far. Pretty funny, though. But I think in general she is a pleasant looking person. I wish I looked as good.

x

But I still wished I looked as good. Sigh....

I'm not a fruitcake though. More a nice solid bundt cake. With icing.

Perhaps you could just compare to someone closer to your age - like, like Jane Fonda, or Cher.

She had a recent botox injection and wasn't quite sure what muscles still worked.
I saw her on a PSA and her face did not move, just her lips. It was hte weirdest looking thing.

We'll never know if was drugs or a goose from the prince. :(

I saw video of the event and could detect when she struck that pose. Flashbulbs were going like crazy the whole time they were out there, so it's not surprising that that look has been frozen in time. She was only like that for a split second, but that was enough to give us DUers endless pleasure (or nightmares).

:rofl: :puke: :rofl: :puke: :rofl: :puke: :rofl: :puke:

Ewwwww :puke:

marry that callboy of his. What was his name, Gannon?

We *know* he's got kind of a military fetish :)

...that is so weird.

kind of remind one of...

oh never mind.

:rofl:

Word is that Bushie already plans to live in a gated community in the Metroplex.

I wouldn't be surprised if Laura starts spending more time "away." In Austin, perhaps? Various charity causes can supply excuses. She & her daughters will occasionally meet to drink margaritas & snark. And she can visit her mother--apparently a better person than the Mother In Law From Hell.

I am leaving. I met him once here is dallas when he was running the first time(at Cooper's). I will never let myself be in a place where he will be again.

Remember when he used to be somebody.

Tuesday will be dress up day. Michael has a huge wardrobe!

come the judgement, all of the GOP media minions are going to an especially hot corner of hell

Afterall, doesn't he live in Washington DC while his wife resides full-time in his home state? hmmmm....

finally straightened herself out?

Gotta hand her the Ingenuity Award for that one.

The daughters travel with the parents on very rare ocassions (Jenna went to Denmark with her parents) but you never see them at any White House events or any events in the USA for that matter. I've never seen the daughters at the White House except during the 2004 election night and the inaugurals. They may want nothing to do with DC and politics. They did campign for Dad during 2004 but not during 2000 that I can remember.

I wouldn't blame Laura for being pissed at George. He's the most hated man on the planet. How likeable could he possibly be? He's stubborn, arrogant and mean spririted and he has no cultural or intellectual interests.

time for Laura to be alone an bored. She probably has a 24 year old boy toy on staff living near the WH.

Whenever George wants to dally all he has to do is call his SOS. Chickenhawk Fried Rice....

"the lump in the bed". Does he have low self esteem issues, or what?

maybe she should shave her head. He seems to like that. :evilgrin:

I never ever tire of a montage of * bald fetish. So freakin' weird. It's also a dominating gesture.

Such a strong loving couple brought low by politics. GAG GAGCOUGH COUGH GAG fuck her she made her bed.

But the Globe??? Ho ho ho. No way. The other two are legit investigative tabloid with fact checking standards higher than probably any other media out there... but the Globe?

It still wouldn't surprise me, though...

how many replies do I have to make in order to start a thread?

Welcome aboard,but just post post post til you can.

becomes an unrelenting, indescribably hell of suffering and misery

When will Condi make her move?

And on which one of them?

started nagging Junior to quit killing people, I wonder what would happen?

at her most of the time. That dropping ratings could cause a lot of anger and frustration. Especially when there doesn't seem to be much he can do about it.

Of course, it would take either a 180 degree reversal of all his policies, or his resignation. Either of those should lift his numbers a bit.

whatever that almighty paragon of journalism, The Globe, says, man. :eyes:

I wonder?

:eyes: :eyes:

Now that, I'd believe.

There will be lots of balls when he retires. This is just more crap coming out.. cause the political race is heating up. Of course they want to make George and especially very popular Laura be the victims here.

I'm not sure what I thought you meant, but whatever it was, it was just... wrong.

the WH and a gossip rag to get to the truth. Otherwise - take it with a grain of salt. Nobody is more popular than Laura in the GOP.

I say, since this is not even published in the MSM.. we wait.

P.S. I like looking a pretty dresses too.

was. Was it that I characterized her as going to have a wail of a time at balls? Cause she as much as said that after the 2004 election - we deserve these balls. Or was it that I told ya not to take something from the globe seriously? Cause other people on this thread said the same thing. I just don't know how I got to ya?

I just had a "Beavis and Butthead" moment with the header of your last post, there. My 12 year old sense of humor got the better of me.

So whatever it was that was 'just wrong', was entirely in my own head.

Hope that clears it up.

over the jewels, is just wrong. Not sure if I take offense to the Gannon or the elephant. Please leave photos of both in all their glory far away from me. It's just wrong. Elephants are wonderful animals with families and kindness and such. Wrong... GOP should start using the Hippo. Because they hide underwater, beady eyes pocking out, till they attack (and kill more people than elephants do - but nobody tends to mention that) plus they are hippocrites (what else do you call a man attacking vegetarian).

blame google, but I do apologize!

Did she attend George Bush's other ball?

once he's seen Karl Hungus?

:rofl:

hmmm, wonder if something didn't happen there.

wacking him with a frying pan or something similar.

now georgie can start rubbing bald heads in ernest, or would that be "on ernest" Seriously, even with the nickname "pickles", it would be a lonnnngggg stretch to picture him and her having that kind of intimate moment.

and orders of impeachment

:rofl::wtf::freak::wtf::rofl:

life doesn't even register on my radar.

good shot?"

"Yes, dear. Good shot."

"I knew I married you for something."

Yawn, BFD. I've farted better news.

.....have to give her credit for having a sliver of a brain left and knowing how to use it.:applause:

God only knows how long this has been going on. What a hollow idol this president has been. PR from top to bottom.

Take it with a grain of salt. Don't believe everything you hear or read. It may or may not be true.

either it isn't true....or it is

:bounce:

She could nail that SOB.

The elder Barbara is much too scary to defy -- and I'm sure she doesn't want her little Georgie getting a divorce.

Beyond that -- I try not to get my news from supermarket tabloids.

Hekate

A little lizard told me. :D



It's too bad, really. They are PERFECT for each other.
