Laura says Hillary should show "empathy"??

[NativeTexan]

Laura may ACT non-political, but believe us in Texas....she is anything but! And behind that smile that looks like Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the Batman movie, is a woman that is just as questionable as her crooked husband is!! Empathy? Any person of intelligence can see that you can't empathize with a sociopath!!


First lady calls Clinton's criticism 'out of bounds'

Saturday, February 11, 2006; Posted: 10:19 p.m. EST (03:19 GMT)


TURIN, Italy (AP) -- Laura Bush said Saturday that Hillary Rodham Clinton's criticism of her husband's administration was "out of bounds," arguing that the former first lady should show some empathy for the current White House occupants.

Leading the U.S. delegation at the Winter Olympics in Turin, the first lady talked about a range of subjects, from the violent protests across the Muslim world over caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed to the quality of the U.S. Olympic team. She was interviewed by ABC and CBS.

Clinton, the New York senator and a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2008, has called the Bush administration "one of the worst" in history. In the interview with ABC News, Mrs. Bush was asked if Clinton's comments were "just politics, fair game or out of bounds."

"Of course I think it's out of bounds," the first lady said. "But I think it's politics, it's certainly politics."

Bush pointed out that former Presidents Bush and Clinton and her husband are part of a unique club that also includes the wives.

"We know what it's like to live in that house. We certainly know what it's like to have your husband criticized," she said. "So I think there's a certain empathy that we might have for each other that we wouldn't have maybe for somebody else who said something like that."

1. Pssssssssssssst

Laura! When George leaves the White House and you get elected senator, feel free to criticize the President. That would be part of the job.........
:shrug:

[terrya]

10. And of course, Laura's husband has already decided that for her.

[rasputin1952]

2. Actually, Hillary is wrong, this IS the worst administration in history...

bar none...:)

[NativeTexan]

3. Ras, I couldn't agree with you more!!

In fact it is completely SHAMEFUL and without a doubt UN-AMERICAN!!

[pansypoo53219]

4. until lauWa

is personally attacked like hillary was while 1st lady and Bill was, she can keep her pie hole shut.
bitch hasn't seen ANYTHING like what democrats and the clintons had to endure.
and YES, we DO hate you.

[sandrakae]

5. Laura needs to STFU.

[father_of_hope]

6. isn't she a murderer?

she killed her ex-boyfriend didn't she?

the whole things was hushed up and dismissed as a 'car accident'.

How killers LOVE to marry their own!

[scot]

7. Frankly,

Laura has that "Children of the Corn" look 24/7. Its beyond creepy. That said, Hillary looked like she was sucking lemons at the SOTU. Bill would have suaved the shit out of GWB's "favorite person" shtick. Recognize that, when the Repubs get traction, its TOO often because WE left it out.

[caligirl]

8. Laura invites Hilary to the Rose Garden for a cat fight.

[radfringe]

9. ahhhh the proverbial rock and a hard place maneuver

Pickles says Hillary should show empathy. This implies Hillary is unsympathic, hard, cold and uncaring.

Ok - assume Hillary show's some empathy which meshes with Pickles's definition of empathy

Why then Hillary would be unsuitable for any public office because she's tooooo emotional, ruled by hormones, reacting from the heart instead of the head

Wonder if Rove coached Pickles on that line?

[mtnester]

11. Yeah, so far the Rove paintbrush has classified Hillary as

unsympathetic, hard, cold and uncaring as you said along with being hysterical (insert hormonal, insert women are not capable of governing)

Look for it to get MUCH worse.

[radfringe]

12. oopsie - forgot about being "tooooo angry"

questions:

1. when does the wishy-washy flip-flop characterization start?

2. What about the swift-boating ala Cookie Moms?
For those too young or had forgotten - during Bill's campaign back in 1992, Hillary made the comment that she doesn't bake cookies. This set off a field day for repugs to all of a sudden get concerned about stay-at-home moms who bake cookies.

just an off the wall thought - in the unlikely event that 2008 campaign is Hillary Clinton VS Condi Rice -- would this be the battle of the hormones? My hormones can beat up your hormones?

[NativeTexan]

14. You better BELIEVE it was Rove.....

....cause, even though he was actually an understudy to Donald Segretti and trained aa a "ratfucker" which he continues to use, he IS the only one in the WH that isn't a TOTAL politcal HACK!

[Catchawave]

13. Hopefully Laura's popularity poll will drop now !

This smells of the Rove playbook, which means Hil must be a concern :)

[NativeTexan]

32. Karl has his hands in everything....

.....and her poll numbers are unreliable at best anyway....hell she stands next to the village idiot!!

[gratuitous]

15. Laura the Librarian should look up the concept of "opposition party"

As well as read a few history books. On what issues, precisely, does Mrs. Bush disagree with the characterization that her husband's corrupt administration is one of the worst in history? Most civilian deaths from a hostile attack? I think Chimp-son-of-Wimp is far and away the leader in that category. Biggest deficits? Bush wins again! Greatest expansion of the national debt? Chimpy McCokespoon again. Violations of the constitution? Yep, Bushy again.

[NativeTexan]

20. Parties? There are no parties.....politcal FRIENDS and....

....political ENEMIES with the Bush Fascists.

[gratuitous]

24. One more category

Friends you can pop with a shotgun.

[NativeTexan]

26. Gotta love it, Grat!

LOL

[henslee]

16. Enabling, crap mother, pot dealing, murderer.

Shut up.

[mtnsnake]

17. Funny how Laura never said the same about the Swift Boat liars

Were they not "out of bounds", too, Laura?

[BringEmOn]

18. Sure, Pickles...as soon as Ken Starr sniffs YOUR sheets...

[Ned_Devine]

19. Didn't Laura kill someone with her car when she was younger?

We should just use that against her any time she says anything. I know it's childish. It's sort of like the tactic Monty Burns' lawyer would use, "ladies and gentlemen of the jury, who are you going to believe? This woman once killed a man with her car!"

[Bridget Burke]

23. Yes. You can look up the details.

But let's just consider poor Laura a sad enabler. She's really not relevant--but she is one of Bushie's "defenders"--like his Mom & Pop.

[kentuck]

21. Like she and George showed "empathy" to the Katrina victims?

talking out of her ass.

[NightOwwl]

22. Right,..but sliming McCain by insinuating the former POW is crazy...

and unstable, or *shudder* fathered an illegitamate black baby is okey-dokey. And Swift-Boating a war hero is just business as usual.

Go Fuck yourself, Laura.

[pdxmom]

25. Like the empathy the Rethugs showed Hillary AND Chelsea

during the Monica mess? I think Rethug hypocrisy is part of the genetic makeup of these people.

[NativeTexan]

27. Yep, and when one of your PRIMARY APOLOGISTS is.....

....AND COULTER?......MEAN is the word for them all!!

[FW_]

28. Empathy

How about Hillary shows empathy if George can spell it.

[NativeTexan]

29. OR.....

PRONOUNCE IT!!

[Orion The Hunter]

30. Laura Bush should save the "empathy" comment for her mother-in-law

end of message

[NativeTexan]

31. You are RIGHT, my friend.....

.....but then again, that won't happen in MY lifetime....

[ninkasi]

33. Oh, and after the tremendous

outpouring of empathy toward Hillary and Chelsea when conservatives were savaging Clinton, how COULD Hillary forget! Don't you all remember the torrent of love and support given by conservatives toward the Clinton family? How can we forget all of the sympathy, empathy, and Christian understanding shown to them? I can't blame Pickles for being bitter...after all she and the conservatives did for us, well....:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[xxqqqzme]

34. LIVE in that house?????

jebus on a pogo stick - she doesn't LIVE there, they go on extended visits. Early on in this criminal administration, I observed 2 a friend, that raisen brain was not comfortable as prez = he was never in the White House.
