FIRST LADY 'BUSHWHACKS' THE FOURTH ESTATE
First Lady Laura Bush, sitting down for an interview this week with MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell, flexed her muscles and blasted the media for her husband’s abysmal approval ratings on Iraq, claiming that they fail to report any “good news” out of “Baghtopia.”

“For example,” said Mrs. Bush, “there’s a new school being built every 15 seconds, immediately after the old one gets blown to smithereens.”

The former elementary school teacher and librarian also emphasized that due to the high student mortality rate and flight of the middle class, Baghdad has made dramatic strides in reducing class size.

“Iraqi students also spend more hours studying than their American counterparts,” Mrs. Bush hastened to add, “since they go out and play only at risk to their very lives.”

1. It's supposed to be satire? Sounds to me closer to the real deal
than what Lady Laura told everyone in her actual interview.

2. It sounds like Pickles is sharing a toke on Chimpy's crack pipe
What a delusional twit. I also thought it was satire.

A new school every 15 seconds.....cough, cough, cough...pass the pipe....
