Laura doesn't like the pounding that Chimpy gets
maybe she should try to break him up with Jeff Gannon, huh? :)

Laura Bush: I Don't Like The "Pounding" George Gets

Laura Bush transcript:

KING: Laura, has it been difficult putting up with all the flack that your husband has taken? And, you know, low polls, is it tough for you emotionally?

L. BUSH: Well, in some ways, of course, because I want George to be popular. But on the other hand, I know that he does what he thinks is right for our country and that he doesn't think he should try to be popular, that that's the easy way out.

But I also know -- and I've been watching the campaign, just like everybody else has, and it's been great theater -- that he takes a huge pounding from the other candidates, not all of them, not my candidate, John McCain, but I think that is -- that's demoralizing to me. I don't like that.

And for people who are running for this very office, I think it's sort of a good thing for them to think about --

KING: You don't like the way the Clinton-Obama campaign has been run, you mean?

1. Yeah, apparently he ain't getting his money's worth with Jeffy...
...and since Jeffy caters to Repukes, you'd think he'd be pretty good...I mean, they ain't gonna just settle for anything.

2. so many... inappropriate jokes... going through head...
Gannon? Maybe she's upset because the "pounding" is her job?

6. Popularity is highly relevant to the administration when it's in their favor.
They didn't hesitate to cite approval ratings when the support for the war was at 70 some percent at the wars start. They don't hesitate to cite polls for whatever when it's in their favor. When it's not, suddenly being popular is taking the easy way out. Right, Laura. Right. Take another Percocet, and watch the blood wash away from your dreams.

9. Why does this persons opinion matter
Someone tell Larry King that he has an interview with the wife and daughter of the worst president in American History. This isn't a time for human interest type questions. The administration has sucked here might be your chance to find out why they suck. Reason 1 million why Larry King is the worst interviewer in the history of television.

11. The other night, Larry King referred to Barack Obama as "Obock" and didn't miss a beat.
What a maroon.

14. Right, * has been really raked over the coals
the last seven years.

:eyes:

Next, let's haul Babs and George Sr. out, so they can take their turn to whine and complain just how anyone who says anything remotely critical against their boy is just a big ole' mean poopie-head.

17. What a delicate little thing she is
If we had a REAL press corps in this country, she'd quickly learn how easy she's had it. But most of them are too scared to even mention that her husband personally approved torture. What a useless twit.

19. Yeah, it's been tough for her. First there was the rash of stories about her murdering Vince Foster
Then the White House travel office, and the FBI file scandal, and rumors of her being a lesbian.

All those anonymous smears on left-wing blogs about how she was involved in a crooked land deal in Arkansas, and how she and George were flying cocaine into an airport in Mena, Arkansas, and about how she got lucky in cattle futures - all just made up from whole cloth, with no substantiation or verification, and . . .

Oh, wait, sorry! I must have stepped across the portal to Parallel Earth there for a second! My bad!!
