Looks like Laura has gained a few pounds

[BlueStater]

Stress from being married to that monstrosity?

[SoCalDem]

1. Just poorly tailored clothing that NEVER suits her

Shame on her "dresser"..

[MissB]

4. I've always assumed that the person responsible

for picking out her clothes does not like her. It is the only explanation that makes sense.

[mikeytherat]

8. The Wardrobe Mistress hates her!

mikey_the_rat

[Recursion]

40. No, no, no... that's how Freeper women dress

Go to flyover country some time. I'm convinced the fundy aversion to sex and all things feminine makes them shop at TJ Maxx and wear clothes that do everything possible to make them look unattractive.

[Cha]

58. You'd think with that

much money at her disposal they could come up with better fitting clothes and better material.

[bluerum]

2. Gag alert.

[DesEtoiles]

3. Ladies, that's why we go for the long jackets

[texasleo]

5. square cheeks

[dancingme]

6. Yes but she's better than Barbara Bush

that's a gag alert

[berner59]

7. Looks like a wedgie forming...

She needs some butt shaper undies...

[chimpymustgo]

15. That is one ugly-ass arse.

Do some butt-lifters, lady.

[Balbus]

9. She looks like a giant plum.

But I agree. She's definitely gained a few.

[ContraBass Black]

10. So?

[MADem]

11. I think that is HER style.

If you look at pictures of her as the governor's wife, she always wore short jackets with a halfassed ruffle on them--I think someone told her she had a tiny waist once, and that's how she shows it off.

She looks horrid in that costume. Poor thing, she probably feels like shit, too, married to that asshat.

[CatWoman]

19. yup

plus she has a square ass

[MissB]

22. Oy. That bottom picture.

[Gato Moteado]

37. why do all of her outfits look like they've been made from either.....

....drapes, sofa upholstery or old tablecloths?

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. I couldn't care less how much she weighs, what she wears...

or how she styles her hair. I want to know why she associates with known criminals and reprobates. That is a far bigger issue than her appearance.

[TheDebbieDee]

25. "Why she associates with known criminals........"

Because she's a criminal herself, that's why.

Oh, sure, she avoided jail time for running down her ex-sweetie with her car, but she's as big a criminal as the rest of her horrific in-laws!

[RedStateShame]

13. We've all gained weight in the past 6 years.

You get that much bullshit shoveled down your throat, of course that'll happen!!

[johncoby2]

14. You know I had the same thought when I saw that!

Now I am blind.

[RebelOne]

16. Hey, what do you expect? She is in her late '50s.

It isn't easy to keep weight off then. Believe me, I know.

[insane_cratic_gal]

28. plus the whole gravity factor

pulling the ass checks squarely to the earth.

There is far more we can dislike about Laura then her outfits and whom she's married too?

What has she done as first lady anyway? Beside keep a drunken baboon's ratings alive?

No child left behind? Which is a total disaster?

[BlueStater]

36. Laura is a fair target

My original post wasn't really making fun of her weight. I was just having a little fun.

I believe she's a fair target because she has been very outspoken lately defending her worthless war criminal husband. The media keeps portraying her as some sort of saint when she hasn't done a thing to make the world a better place. People are dying out there thanks to that son-of-a-bitch she's married to and I haven't seen any evidence she gives a shit.

[Ian David]

17. Too much room service at The Mayflower Hotel. n/t

[Gato Moteado]

18. george, honey, do these pants make my butt look big?

nt

[chimpymustgo]

24. Hey, CONDI, do these pants make my butt look big?

Very funny Gato.

[Gato Moteado]

20. you gotta remember...she pushed out jenna and barbara....

at the same time. and each one was holding a sixpack and a carton of cigarettes. that's gotta stretch ya out a little.

[SoCalDem]

30. Didn't she have a c-section? n/t

[chimpymustgo]

31. Gato...you crazy.

Love it.

[Missy M]

21. She seems to have a picture of herself in her mind.....

that she is slim and trim. Maybe if someone shows her this photo she will finally see the light. That photo is downright embarrassing and hopefully she will take to wearing longer jackets and stop with all the pastel pantsuits.

[LynneSin]

23. Come on guys - all us women struggle with weight - grow up

I mean, there is much to criticize over the fact she looks like a bottle of fricking pepto-bismol, but we can do better than to be critical about weight.

[wicket]

34. Amen to that

n/t

[Beaverhausen]

48. I agree. This should be beneath us

[Common Sense Party]

49. Why be critical of looks at all? Seems so junior-high juvenile.

Like when the FReepers go on and on about Hillary's appearance. It's so shallow.

[pitohui]

59. what's wrong w. being shallow?

never trust someone who is too vain to judge another based on appearance, didn't oscar wilde say that?

the woman is a slob, she literally does not care that the eyes of the world are on her

she disrespects us, the people of this nation

we have a right to notice when we're being disrespected

this woman has all the money and the power in the world to get good advice, good clothes, and to look halfway pulled-together in public, she just can't be arsed because she just doesn't freckin care

[chefgirl]

63. I gotta say

I'm totally with you on this one. Her weight is perfectly fine for a woman of her age, or any age, for that matter. Not all of us can be long and willowy. At 5'0" tall, I'm well aware of that!

However, even on MY budget, I manage to dress better than this frump.

I absolutely agree that she has an obligation to represent the American people, in her manner of dress, her personal conduct, etc...

It really pisses me off that not only do we have to be embarassed by her idiot husband,(who also can't seem to find a suit that fits correctly) we cant even look to her to do us proud with her appearance.

For the record, appearance has nothing to do with her weight, or whether or not shes a great beauty or anything else she really cant do much about, but for God's sake, she really needs to stop looking like she shops at Woolworth's (in the drapery department).
I'm sure there are any number of people who would jump at the chance to 'tweak' her look into one deserving of her position in public life.

I would urge a little more elegance, richer fabrics, better cut, professional tailoring and more serene colors.

Sorry, but the way she dresses has always been a pet peeve of mine.

-chef-

[RebelOne]

62. Right. I agree. See my post above.

Once a woman passes the age of 40, it is a fight against the battle of the bulge. I know because I have been fighting that war for many years now.

[Raine]

65. True but

that didn't stop their side from going after Elizabeth Edwards, so I'm not taking the high road with Laura.

[BlueStater]

73. You got that right

I don't usually make fun of people's appearences having known what it's like to be at the receiving end of such treatment. I'm not even really making fun of Laura in this thread.

But, in my eyes, Elizabeth Edwards is a better person than Laura Bush and that didn't stop the little Bushites from making cruel jokes about her weight. These lowlives even had the gall to make such comments when she first announced she had breast cancer.

So if I have a little fun at the expense of our oblivious first lady, I can't really say I feel much guilt.

[Fleshdancer]

26. I think she's at a good weight

Granted that pant suit isn't a good cut, but come on now! Women are allowed to come in all shapes and sizes. Even the women who marry complete idiots.

[Rex]

27. It's because Bush is tappin someone else's ass.

nt

[Kahuna]

29. I noticed that too.

nt

[LostinVA]

32. I don't like Laura Bush, but she does NOT look overweight

Sheesh.

[conflictgirl]

56. Ditto

I'd like it if we could stick to attacking people on the grounds of their being evil, not because their bodies aren't ideal.

[kentuck]

33. Stilll hasn't learned how to salute?

I see..

[Recursion]

41. Bring your hand to your head, *, not your head to your hand

And since you're saluting a Marine, how about keeping your elbows out and slightly turning your palm in?

I guess if he was Air Guard he would have learned the Air Force salute, but he isn't even doing that right.

[leftofthedial]

35. pot, munchies

potato chips

brownies


she'll fit right in when king george goes to prison and she moves back into the trailer park.

[Ilsa]

38. Poor thing. She is a very pretty woman on the outside, but it has

to be difficult for an avid reader to be married to that religious nut who is totally uncurious about the world.

Some squats might help develop those glutes a little bit. I'm happy to say I don't have flat-ass syndrome, even at age 48.

[emulatorloo]

43. Don't you think the "Good Christian Man" is just another fake PR Show?

I mean, he isn't a "Texan." Nor is he a "Rancher." In no way is he a "Regular Guy."

All of those personas were created by Karl Rove and Karen Hughes.

[Ilsa]

47. I don't think he's a "Good Christian Man". I think his religiosity

is more of a delusional state that fits his narcissistic and hystrionic personality. :)

I love in Tx, and I know a real cowboy or rancher when I see him or her. Bush doesn't begin to qualify, even with the boots, pickup truck, and drawling half-speech.

[Glenda]

60. Did you really meant to say "I LOVE in texas?"

:shrug:

[Ilsa]

70. LOL. I live and love in TX. (But I don't "Love" Tx.) eom

[zulchzulu]

39. A warning in the thread title would have been nice!

I feel ill.

[Johonny]

42. I what she wears important?

well no of course not. But it is interesting that a party that goes out of their way to make the president dress a certain way, talk a certain way, work out a certain way... seems to have no female fashion sense.

[MODemocrat]

44. Looks like see-through pants

How unbecoming, seeing her crack so plainly, especially in the color pink.
:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:
She should fire her designer/seamstress.

[Bombero1956]

45. methinks

she eats junk food while George and Condi play Femme Nazi Interrogator and the downed pilot game.

[dogday]

46. You know you can buy some ass cheeks now

so Laura do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars... Go buy you a set of ass-pads.....

[Cleita]

50. Looks more like Depends underneath those pants.

Maybe an older woman in the spotlight should wear longer jackets that cover most of her derriere.

[Sannum]

51. She needs a girdle...

that said, there are many things that we can criticize her over. Stay out of the weight issue.

[Catherine Vincent]

52. Laura Bush - POTFAS

President of the Flat Ass Society

:evilgrin:

n/t

[LWolf]

53. I've gained a few pounds, too.

I hope people don't sit around to discuss my weight when I'm not there. I hope they judge me on who I am rather than what size I am or whether or not I'm their personal version of fashionably "presentable."

Probably why I'd never make a politician, lol. I don't give a flying fuck who thinks I look great or horrific. I want people to appreciate the person I am, not the package I live in.

The size of her hips are not a significant factor in who she is, imo; her lack of judgement in choice of spouse is more telling.

[treestar]

66. Amen! You have nailed it!

The OP is very shallow in nature but as to Laura, she looks fine, in comparison to 99% of the women in America, but it's her CHOICE OF SPOUSE that sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tim4319]

54. Looks more like a loaded diaper.

[azmouse]

55. Laura Bush's Guide to Republican Glamour

[pitohui]

57. she's always been heavy but OMG

crap, don't they have a threeway mirror in the white house so she can check out the rear view?

who let her out of the house looking like that?

i really do NOT need to see the outline of the first lady's butt cheeks, even if she were physically attractive, which she ain't

have some damn dignity, laura, crap

[kskiska]

61. They had a lot to say about Hillary's pantsuits

I rarely ever see Laura wearing anything BUT pantsuits. Not a peep.

[Generic Brad]

64. Pickelback

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh

[Deja Q]

67. I have 3 serious posts that get ignored and THIS Lounge post gets 66?!

(Lounge post in GD, oddly...)

I give up.

[Habibi]

71. Don't give up.

I sense a lot of blowing off steam in this thread. Juvenile, yes. Silly and meaningless, yes. Cathartic, after the walls tumbling down around the world? Probably.

[Cocoa]

68. she looks ok

her weight, her clothes, her hair, her makeup are all ok to me.

Her husband sucks.

[MzNov]

69. no, it's the really bad pantsuit. She looks the same to me.

and I can't stand her, but no she's never been "heavy" as someone said. Plaeeeeeeze. But someone ought to tell her about the static cling.

[SensibleAmerican]

72. Who cares?

n/t

[Blaze Diem]

74. Two Pigs in a Poke........sorry, Laura IS fair game!!

She has handlers just like George, bazillions of dollars, and could have a personal trainer of the best qualities, as well as the best in cosmetic enhancement, or whatever.
My point is justified in going back to the Clinton days. I definately recall how viscious the neofans were of young Chelsea.
Looking at this pic, I want to know where they got off on dissing a child??
I have no problem making fun of "cheeks".
She's one of them, and stating disgust over our 1st Lady in such attire is necessary to keep me from vomiting.

This pic is gross. Try a larger size, Pickles!!
