Laura KNOWS W did his duty. How? "because he told me he was"
ABC WNT rebroadcast the whole thing last night after technical glitches stopped it on Wednesday night.

BTW-Did you independent women know that you are supposed to be impressed and swayed by her?

Secret Weapon
Bush Campaign Banks on First Lady


Feb. 18 — For the first time, first lady Laura Bush is speaking out on the controversy surrounding the president's service in the National Guard decades ago — before she met him.


She says she's absolutely certain her husband was fulfilling his duty at the time "because he told me he was. And the records had been shown. He wouldn't have gotten an honorable discharge if he hadn't pulled his duty," she said in an exclusive interview with ABCNEWS.


She's not concerned about her husband's declining poll numbers.

"I think part of the reason he has is because the Democrats have just spent over $100 million campaigning," she said. "And their main campaign issues have been to beat George Bush. That's all they really talked about."

Of course that's all they talked about.

That's the point of an election, Laura, you dimbulb.

4. Honorable doesn't mean he served.
"He wouldn't have gotten an honorable discharge if he hadn't pulled his duty," she said in an exclusive interview with ABCNEWS."

They keep repeating this like the Stepford wives, over and over. But guess what? I got BOOTED out of the military with an honorable discharge because I was gay. I only served 2 years and 9 months of my 4 year enlistment. It was up to the commander what I got, no hard and fast rules whatsoever.

6. I heard on Cspan that she said it was "a political witch-hunt"
Number 1: He broke 230 years of precedent when he dressed up in his military costume and now he insinuates that no-one should question him because he's "a war president," and THEN it turns out he's a fraud and a liar now and was a fraud and a chickenhawk back in the seventies

Number 2: Even if it were a witch-hunt, I didn't hear Pickles complaining when they went after Clinton's zipper.

What a bunch of babies.

9. "How do you know your husband loves you?" the cop asked the
battered woman with 2 black eyes. "Because he told me".

Laura is no different then the physically battered woman, in fact, I have a feeling that Laura is an "emotionally battered" woman.

14. I'm not so sure it's always just been emotional abuse-he was once an drunk
And there's nothing worse than a drunk when his wife walks between he and the tv screen.

10. Oh, give her a break
After all, she's under heavy sedation. You can tell by the frozen smile and the blank stare. Hard to function when you're popping that many Valium.

13. I was wondering if W using the Gingrich definition of "not having
sexual relations with her" (the standard used in the fact that CLINTON DID NOT LIE!) cut off the flow of oxygen to her brain long enough for her to actually suffer brain damage, and therefore accept his proposal of marriage?

We are now seeing the effects of that brain damage. Same plastic smile every picture. Where's Laura's Rhinoplasty documents when you need them???

12. What Has The Lump Done?
What gives this non-entity any credibility to speak on any issue? I wouldn't say this of Jackie Kennedy or Rosalyn Carter or even a Lady Bird Johnson or Betty Ford...these were women who showed their own intelligence and added to their husband's presidency in a positive manner.

Pickles represents the Mamie Eisenhower/Pat Nixon era...the "mate" who is shown when required and speaks only when spoken to. Even Nancy Raygun and Babs Bushbot at least demonstrated some independence and earned respect of even critics. Laura Stepford is a disgrace...dismissed within her own hive as an equal partner and seeking approval by enabling their egos and agendas.

Just like her dimbulb husband, Mrs. Bushbot II's popularity is a mile wide and a milimeter thin. Her statements are Page 6 material and interviews are filler and non events. She also lives in a world (that appears to appeal to a large segment of RW women) where living in a sharply regimented and defined world with no expectations or growth is their life's ambition.
