WASHINGTON - On her third solo foreign trip, Laura Bush hopes to "let people around the world know what we are really like" to counter resentment about the Iraq (news - web sites) war and America's pre-eminent international role.

On a lighter side, she says that representing American style in the fashion hub of Paris feels "a little intimidating" — even after a pre-trip shopping spree.

Mrs. Bush leaves Sunday for a five-day jaunt to Paris and Moscow.

In Paris, she'll preside over ceremonies marking the United States' re-entry into the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization after a 19-year absence and make what is being termed a "social call" on French President Jacques Chirac. In Moscow, she is attending the first book festival being put on by fellow bookworm and Russian first lady Lyudmila Putin, an event inspired by festivals Mrs. Bush has hosted.

7. This is typical--I am sick of her pasted on smile and her manufactured ima

this woman, this dumbed down, dullard of a fat assed, low slung to the waist, droopy breasted woman known as the "first lady", this frump of a disasterous style in fashion when she has millions of dollars to spend on looking better than the frump she often portrays , is now being trotted out as a person interested in "fashion" and concerned about world opinion? Oh my gawd--puleeze--this woman does NOT represent the American woman!!!

8. And to make matters worse

she chose her mother-in-law's designer, Arnold Scaasi.

The Bush clan - more money than God, and not a scrid of taste.

13. Hey, our income taxes are paying for this junket...

Freepers are always bitching about their income taxes paying for some social program, etc. Well, I don't want to foot the bill for this kind of fluff.

Not to mention the horrific amounts of blood and dollars going into the endless war machine.

14. Powell on Letterman? "W" to Bears game ? The "librarian" on the loose?

How patently obvious he is in trying to manipulate the popularity polls. How stupid does he think we are? Pretty stupid.

That picture makes me think of Carol Burnett wearing the curtain rods in the "Gone With the Wind" skit on the old CB Show - except pickles isn't kidding.
