I have a confession: I have a secret (well, not anymore)

[cali]

and mild fondness for Laura Bush. yeah, she has horrible taste in men and clothes, but I just kind of like her.

[oldtime dfl_er]

1. I'll pray for your deliverance

;-)

[DrToast]

2. She's pretty nice. She stuck up for Michelle.

[democrattotheend]

I gained some respect for her when she did that

And honestly, I never strongly disliked her. She actually comes from a Democratic family, and unlike Cindy McCain, I don't remember her being an attack dog on the campaign trail.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. I admire her courageous anti-authoritarian views on stop signs.

:thumbsup:

[tblue]

4. She is air.

[Aloha Spirit]

16. I like most air.

[liberalmuse]

5. I like her, too.

She seems like a nice, gracious lady.

[Bobbieo]

20. She and Cindy McCain have lousy taste in men!!!

[crossroads]

21. Yeah... but how did she wind up married to such a SOB?

[EstimatedProphet]

6. She is great at making clothes out of upholstery

[liberalmuse]

8. LOL.

You guys are nasty!

On edit: I mean, you guys are 'stinkers'.

[Left Is Write]

29. I don't understand her taste in clothes.

She always seems to pick the most unflattering things possible.

She's really quite pretty and would terrific in more flattering clothes.

[NYCGirl]

7. I sorta like her, too, Cali. NT

[camera obscura]

9. She's a librarian, she can't be ALL bad

book nerd here... :)

[emilyg]

10. I like her.

[soccermomforobama]

11. I really like her. I hope she does some great things with the schools in the

Dallas area when they move back.

[Arugula Latte]

12. Didn't she make it clear at some point that she was a Republican by marriage ONLY.

I think if she'd had her druthers, she'd be a Democrat.

Still ... Wow. She has HORRIBLE taste in men. x(

[AlCzervik]

13. she's pro choice and so is her Battle axe Mother in law.

that is a good thing imo and i'm out.

[bluedeminredstate]

14. The most do-nothing say-nothing First Lady in history.

Without a doubt the most vacuous woman ever to inhabit the WH, but if you like her, feel free!

[rvablue]

18. She spoke up loud and clear about the Burmese Junta...I thought that was kinda cool. n/t

[monmouth]

28. She's like a "Tom Cruise wife. To be seen and not heard." That's what

Kidman said and those rethugs I know are the same way. Their wives just smile and nod. Their husbands talk to me though. Guess I'm more interesting (and a blonde)...Hahaha

[TwilightGardener]

15. She's OK. She seems consistently nicer/more gracious than the rest of the Bush clan.

[alwysdrunk]

17. I never dislike her. She seems nice

She does seem about as dumb as Bush. She used to come out and do interviews right after inauguration. Yeah... not the brightest bulb in Texas.

[azmouse]

19. She's like wallpaper.

In the background and hardly ever noticed.

[cali]

22. yeah, but it's nice wallpaper.

[Gemini Cat]

23. Wow.

To each his/her own I guess.

[Doityourself]

24. I've always seen her a non-entity..lmao

[Hamlette]

25. it's because she is a democrat

or she was before she married. I would bet she still is.

[WI_DEM]

26. She was a democrat and even voted for Eugene McCarthy prior to W, so she can't be totally bad.

[THUNDER HANDS]

27. she did the least amount of damage of anyone in the white house over the last 8 years

that has to count for something.

[Flaxbee]

30. yeah, I have never understood all the dislike for her

She seems like a nice woman, trapped in a situation she had no control over, making the best of it in a very gracious way. She is NOTHING like Barbara Bush the Elder.

[H2O Man]

31. I watched an MSNBC special

on Jim Jones last night. Some of the women who had survived living in his community in Guyana seemed rather nice. I wasn't impressed with their taste in clothes, nor in men. But they seemed very pleasant.

[Whalestoe]

34. You just won the internet.

[Meshuga]

32. She seems nice to me

From what I have seen she has always been very gracious. The only thing she has going against her is the fact that she is married to that tool.

[ecstatic]

33. she's decent for a rethug, but only because she's never openly expressed

her political views. I'm sure if she were to voice them, things would get ugly really quickly.

[JuniperLea]

35. I've always felt very sorry for her

She has never been mean, that I can recall. She's had a tough eight years, what with a drunken murderer for a husband and those party animal daughters. Even when she was all glassy-eyed and we suspected chemical mood enhancement, I never held it against her. They would have needed to keep me heavily sedated if I were in her shoes! She is surely a lot stronger person than we know.

I wish her well, and I am thankful she stuck it out with the asshat to the end of his habitation of the stolen office.
