Laura Bush Slams Media For Ignoring Good News In Iraq

On MSNBC this morning, Norah O’Donnell asked Laura Bush about a new poll that found “only 2 in 10 Americans approve of the job that the president is doing on Iraq.”

Mrs. Bush placed the blame squarely on the media. She said, “I do know that there are a lot of good things that are happening that aren’t covered. And I think that the drum beat in the country from the media, from the only way people know what is happening…is discouraging.”

Mrs. Bush added that she hopes there is “more balanced coverage by the media” in the future. Watch it:

1. F you, Laura.

You're nothing but a frickin' MURDERER. Who are you to criticize ANYONE?

[gademocrat7]

2. She is just as delusional as shrub.

Iraq is a nightmare of her husband's making. They own it.

[Maggie_May]

3. Well excuse me Laura

I sorry that I do not close my eyes to whats happening in Iraq. To bad the media isn't covering more of what going on in Iraq like how we went to war on a lie. What about how your husband has no clue how to get his ass out of this. Well Laura I wish we could say what a fine job your husband has done but it going to take years to fix the mess that he got us in. We no longer have blinders on our eyes Laura like you.

4. this would be the same media that has been giving the lying, thieving, murderous thugs of this

maladministration a pass for the last six years, right, you drunken, drugged-up murderer?

[calimary]

16. Kindly go back to the medicine chest, laura dear. Just don't drive yourself

there, okay, honey?

Maybe she'll take out her hostilities on contradicta, or maybe Oscar de la Renta.

5. Somebody wound up the Stepford Wife n/t

[rodeodance]

6. she is like her mom in law---can't clutter her mind with horror

[MidwestTransplant]

7. I thought they had given up on that whole "but what about the good thing"

With 100+ dying a day, barely any electricity, extreme joblessness and mass dislocation, it's pretty difficult to try to pull that shit anymore.

[Leftisalwaysright]

10. All they've Got

No, they'll never stop with the "But look at all the good stuff that's happening," because that's the only thing they can possibly say.

[Dhalgren]

11. I wish the interviewer had said, "Well here is a very good forum

for telling some of that good news from Iraq. Go ahead Ms Bush, tell us all of the good things happening in Iraq. *crickets* Go ahead ma'am, we will give you extra time on-air to tell it all since there is so much good news that is not being told. Madam First Lady? Go ahead. Ms Bush? Did she just run out of the room?"

[gratuitous]

15. That would require Norah O'Donnell to act like a journalist

And you know that just isn't in the cards.

Apparently when Dubya gave up the boozing and the coking, Laura picked up the slack.

[Captain Hilts]

8. When was she last there? I'll trust Nic Robertson, Trudy Rubin, first. nt

[valerief]

9. Run me over - with your Range Rover. Run me over, knock me

down, and do it again.

(to be sung to the tune of "Roll Me Over in the Clover")

[blm]

12. Great way to put it, ProSense.

.

[Nightjock]

13. Is she THAT STUPID?

Or is she just a liar like the rest of them? HOLY FARGIN SHITE!

[Alcibiades]

14. Laura Bush is just as bad as George

Evil, evil, evil. Some folks have been fooled by her librarian's demeanor, but every time she opens her mouth on policy, she reveals her inner self.

It's not the anarchy, chaos and killing, but the COVERAGE of the anarchy, chaos and killing that's the problem! And the interviewer let it slide. Typical for the US press--she's the first lady, so she gets the softball treatment, but the moment she stepped up to the plate and tried to defend this treasonous, illegal war in these Orwellian terms, she should have been called on it. Big time.

17. Laura Bush: a history of being wrong!

Laura Bush — First Lady, media critic

Posted 12:30 pm | Printer Friendly | Spotlight

I generally don’t pay too much attention to Laura Bush’s policy opinions; she’s not an elected official, she has no obvious power to speak of, and her comments are rarely of any consequence.

They are, however, frequently annoying.

Snip…

But in the bigger picture, I think it’s worth noting that Laura Bush keeps inserting herself in political debates in awkward ways.

For example, shortly before the November elections, the First Lady was asked about the Michael J. Fox campaign ads on stem-cell research. Bush sided with critics of the actor, telling a C-SPAN audience, “It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.”

In May, she dismissed public opinion and said, “As I travel around the United States…A lot of people come up to me and say, ‘Stay the course‘.” Around the same time, Laura Bush jumped into the immigration debate, saying that the National Anthem “.”

A few months before that, during a visit to Liberia, the First Lady said that she does not believe Republicans are mired in a “culture of corruption,” and added that she would be “glad to campaign for Republicans who ask me to campaign for them or do fundraisers for them.”

Snip…

Laura Bush has also weighed in on the anti-gay constitutional amendment, Donald Rumsfeld’s tenure as Defense Secretary, and gun control policy.
