First Lady defends the GOP


MONROVIA, Liberia -- First lady Laura Bush yesterday rejected Democratic claims that Republicans are mired in a "culture of corruption" and said she'd be "glad" to campaign for Republican candidates in the fall.

"It isn't true," Mrs. Bush said of the "culture of corruption" charges in an exclusive interview with The Washington Times while here for the inauguration of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as president of Liberia.

Mrs. Bush offered her star power to Republican candidates after saying she did not know how the Democrats' accusations will affect the congressional elections in November.

"I'll be glad to campaign for Republicans who ask me to campaign for them or do fundraisers for them," the first lady said at the U.S. ambassador's residence here.

1. What the hell would the Stepford wife know.

[havocmom]

8. Trotting her out to help would seem indicative of their concern

and desperation.

Hey, Laura, we're all outta ideas over here. At this point, we'll try anything, even you. Think you can lay off the meds long enough to make a few statements? That a girl!

[warrens]

2. Hey, Cunningham, Ney and Abramoff could use some star power

Go to it, bitch.

[merwin]

3. The insane most often think that they are perfectly sane.

Same goes with the insanely criminal.

[rodeodance]

4. "It isn't true," Mrs. Bush said. Therefore it IS true.

[Ezlivin]

5. Is she off her meds?

Seriously, she needs some psychiatric counseling if she thinks the Republican party is corruption-free.

She doesn't even realize how much good will would be generated if she or her husband even hinted that there were problems that needed to be addressed.

We can do without you, Laura, in our reality-based world.

[adigal]

6. Laura will campaign because if the Dems

take back the House, Laura will be packing her bags.

[Bake]

7. The more she speaks out ...

the more I am reminded of the old saying, "Keep quiet and people wonder whether you're a fool. Open your mouth and you remove all doubt."

If she is now a political speaker and figure, as seems to be the case with her comments on *'s spy program etc., then her credibility, truthfulness, and background are fair game.

Let the games begin.

[Maggie_May]

11. You are right

If she wants to speak out issues she has no clue about let her start taking questions. Come in here Laura we would love to chat.

[thebigidea]

9. "culture of corruption" is working well if this idiot has to address it

I hope they continue hammering away using that phrase, really make it what defines the '06 elections.

[Beetwasher]

10. "It isn't true,"

WOW! She's so effective and believable, isn't she? :eyes:

[bigscott]

13. hey Laura

STFU you coke snorting chain smoking bitch!

[bliss_eternal]

17. 'It isn't true...' seems to be all GOP women know how to say.

Must be part of their brainwashing regimen...

A GOP'er I got into it with on another site constantly retorted 'It isn't true' when we presented her with case after case of evidence, web links, links to articles, etc., etc.

I sincerely wish they'd teach them how to say something else, I'm tired of 'it isn't true.'

[underpants]

19. That's it game over she who is her hath spoken

Damn and I thought with all the indictments and being guilty as hell and the K-Street project we might just have something here this time. Guess not.

[Beetwasher]

26. Her Argument Is Unassailable! She Lays the Facts Out So Precisely!

Her logic is impeccable her evidence flawless and can leave only one conclusion! From premise "It isn't true", to evidence "It isn't true" to to argument "It isn't true", it all flows to the one inescapable conclusion: "It isn't true". She truly is a master of debate.

[underpants]

28. Well there goes any hope of an impeachment

Join session of Congress is hushed as the first lady makes her way to the floor. She steps up to the microphone and says, "It isn't true"

The Republican side of the house erupts in "See there you have it. This debate is OVER!!!"

Senator Byrd asks to have the floor, permission is granted he steps up and says, "Yes it is"

Complete quiet from the Republican side of the house. Wolf Blitzer informs viewers that the senior Senator from West Virginia has implemented a little known rule and technique for which the Republicans could not have been ready for and that many people say crosses the line and is just too much. Wolf then returns to his treetop Ewok village to begin shaving for the next day's adventure down in humanland.

Zell Miller threatens Byrd with a duel for questioning the first lady in such a manner. Miller is later found pecking at corn kernels outside the Smithsonian.

31. LOL!

[tanyev]

14. Did somebody take her Xanax away?

Give it back, please, give it back!

[tridim]

15. I'd like to believe the Xanax queen

but like most Americans I just can't ignore the reams of evidence that prove she's in complete denial.

[Charlie Brown]

16. Hillary was lambasted when she campaigned, endorsed, etc.

Where's the outrage?

[superconnected]

46. how can you get upset about a stupified over-medicated groupie.

All you can really do is baby talk her and tell her to go back to her seat and pet her puppie.

[stepnw1f]

18. Poor Pickled-Brains... (nt)

[bushisaturd]

20. First Lady defends GOP

It is amazing how closely the republican spin machine resembles the workings of the MLM Amway/Qixtar pyramid scheme.

They both use religion to at least initially gain favor with the target audience. Then, once they have your attention, they blast you with propaganda, stating that only they have the correct information, and you shouldn't listen to anyone else. Seemingly intelligent people are duped into spending boatloads of money for a shot at being wealthy like the folks running the scheme. All the while the filthy cretins at the apex of the pyramid are making boatloads of cash taking advantage of those folks gullible enough to buy into the scheme.

It is the same with the Republican party. Most of these evangelical, poor folk, will vote directly against their own best interests, simply because they want to be like those rich republicans. They think, based upon the republican propaganda, that if they vote republican, then they will reap their rewards when they become rich like their elected republican representatives. It's almost like they vote they way they do so that they can say they are a part of this exclusive club, the rich powerful republicans. They actually think that if they were to work hard enough as a republican, they too can live like the fat cat leaders of the party.

Never realizing, like the poor saps in the MLM Quixtar/Amway, that they will never be rich like those "diamonds" or "crowns" because the folks in charge would never let it happen. It is a scam.

Laura prancing around proclaiming the greatness of their cause, although seemingly idiotic to those of us able to see through her act, is exactly what the base wants to see. They love to receive validation for what they are doing, especially when it is coming from one of their idols.

I'm amazed at the parallels between the two organizations, and a close look at the donations of Qixtar and the founders reveals that they are staunch republican supporters.

I would encourage everyone to do a google of Amway and Quixtar and look at some of the testimonials of these poor folks. It really is an eye opener.

[last_texas_dem]

21. Why is it again

that Hillary was continually attacked for "inserting" herself into the political realm, but Pickles continually gets away with it? Sorry Laura, your equating the Swift Boat Liars' attacks on John Kerry to similar attacks on your chimp of a husband in '04 make you fair game for political attacks yourself.

[BattyDem]

22. They must be nervous if they're dragging out Pickles!

:evilgrin:

[sakabatou]

23. Laura is in her own bubble.

[susu369]

51. "Pickles in a bubble"

(My apologies to The Police)

Pickles in a bubble, yeah
Pickles in a bubble, yeah
Pickles in a bubble, yeah
Pickles in a bubble, yeah

:evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

24. Here's a picture of her staff.

[progressivebydesign]

25. Spends ALL her time "Defending"... have you noticed that too?

Laura Bush defends George, Laura Bush defends Alito's weeping wife, Laura Bush defends the GOP, Laura Bush defends.. defends.. defends. How much are they paying to keep her married to the wife beater?

[kayice]

49. Someone needs to 'donate' Laura some books on ..

co-dependency and how to quit enabling.

[restorefreedom]

27. she should stick to menus and decorations

I'm not saying that first ladies shouldn't ever address policy, but she really needs to just keep picking the napkin holders for parties and decorations for the Lincoln room.

No amount of "soft-speak" from her is going to take the sting away from losing jobs and freedom.

[TexasLawyer]

29. we don't torture ...

there is no corruption... How do these liars sleep at night??!!!?

[shanti]

30. "star power"?????

*snort* *koff* :eyes:

[Gman]

32. Laura is also a respected authority on stem cell research

they trotted her out for that like anyone with much of a brain pays attention to her. But then, she's not trotted out for the public in general's appeasement. Her only target audience is the hard core base and for her to soothe any doubts they may have started having.

[pinniped]

53. Mrs. Idiot also has a PhD in gang warfare.

Gang shootouts and membership has declined 1,000% since she made her passionate speech last year.

[GalleryGod]

33. Bend over, Hon !

Show me dat big Laura-butt!:smoke:

[BrotherBuzz]

34. Laura, please come out to California and spread some of that star power

on Doolittle (Ca4) and Pombo (Ca11) so we can put that "culture of corruption" crap to bed once and for all! :rofl:

[LibDemAlways]

35. "Just a little touch of star quality....."

I see Evita Bush is out on another Rainbow Tour at taxpayer expense. What a monumental waste.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. So fucking what?

This is news?

I'd sooner respect Barbie's opinion.

[Journeyman]

37. Well, that settles it for me!. . .

The rest of you can continue to believe this bilgewater but if Laura Bush says "it isn't true," then how could it be? And she did it all the way from Africa, too, so that proves her concern.

Well, I'm glad we've finally settled that bit of unpleasantness. . . and in such forceful fashion, too. For a moment, I believed the nation was actually going to think. Thank God Laura Bush saved us from that travesty. Now let's all get out there and raise some money for anyone who asks for our help -- no matter how many indictments they may be under or deals they've cut to avoid jail time!

[Media_Lies_Daily]

38. Take another valium, Pickles. Then shut the heck up.

[Generator]

39. Maybe she can cry on TV about it

Then we will look "mean" and like "crazy lefties" if we criticize her dear husband and his party. The GOP will soon be taking us back to 1950 anyway. Witch hunts, supreme court taking away women's rights..and the little woman crying is to be respected, damn it! Meanwhile, let's see if CNN can hire Ann Coulter or other self hating woman like here. YOU know they'd love to. (BOYCOTT CNN. they are part of the propaganda machine)

[BadGimp]

40. Imagine the howls if this was Hillary during the Clinton admin..

[buddysmellgood]

41. Excellent. Let her keep denying the Culture of Corruption. That will

really help it stick. Denials won't save them from the shit coming down this pipe.

[antonialee839]

42. I hear Tom Delay is going to need your star power Laura.

:rofl:

[babydollhead]

43. now who has a dick in their mouth?

[pinerow]

44. Why is this news...?

sheesh...!!

[superconnected]

45. GOP - gang of predators

Basically the niquil addict is a groupie.

[Skittles]

47. you know it's bad when they are making the Stepford Wife talk

yes INDEED

[Solly Mack]

48. What shit for brains decided Laura Bush had anything worthwhile to say

to the public?

She's married to and defends a war criminal - how can she possibly have any credibility?

[applegrove]

50. The only one who "the people" have a hope in hell of believing.

[pinniped]

52. I had my doubts, but since the dimwit says they're not true,...

my concerns can be put to rest.

--"It isn't true," Mrs. Idiot said of the "culture of corruption" charges--

They're also keeping Mrs. Idiot in a bubble.
