4. You are right; I see that. It sure looks like something she would like,
though, doesn't it?

Mrs. Lott has something up, and weirdly...that Burr guy from NC's wife has some junk up.

I would rather go to Goodwill myself. This is NOT Princess Di stuff we are looking at here.

27. She wears them right at the worst spot to make her ass look fat
It's a pity nobody's told her yet. I guess maybe her staff hates her. Poor thing. :rofl:

5. It does look like Laura-wear but I don't see anything in the listing
about it having actually belonged to her. Just looks like a donation to benefit her Laura Bush fund.

11. Great Opportunity For Freepers!
If they're going to be George Bush's bitches, they might as well dress the part.

21. The second one (green)
makes the first one (plaid) look good. Amazing what comparison shopping can do.

Aren't there wardrobe consultants in Washington?

20. Wonder who had the idea for this fundraiser? It's a good one.
I'm sure it wasn't anyone whose last name is Bush.

I notice that the highest bids are for Lady Bird Johnson and Rita Rudner's outfits.

22. It is being donated to LB's foundation by a Senate Spouse.
Escada Pant Suit, Donated to Benefit the Laura Bush Foundation

Escada pant suit
Opening Bid: 99.99
Donated by: Senate Family



Join the spouses of our United States Senators and help provide funds to buy books for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Working with the Laura Bush Foundation, the Senate spouses are auctioning 100 dresses they have donated. The auctions theme comes from the book, “The Hundred Dresses,” by Eleanor Estes which tells the story of a girl who owned just one dress but dreamed of having 100.
See the list of dresses currently for sale in this charity auction.

24. They don't look like 1970s drapes. They can't be hers
Laura needs a tackiness intervention.

25. How about she donates her tax cut? That would be more helpful.
