WACO, Texas (Reuters) -
President George W. Bush gave his wife, Laura, the timeless gift of jewelry -- a triple strand, amber-colored citrine necklace -- for her 60th birthday on Saturday.

The first couple will celebrate with friends at Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, with a dinner of enchiladas, tamales, guacamole, rice and beans and birthday cake, White House spokesman Tony Snow said.

Bush, in the midst of a 10-state campaign swing for Republicans heading into Tuesday's congressional elections, will also celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary on Sunday before heading off to rallies in Nebraska and Kansas.

7. why do the rich sob's always think the peons are interested in

their baubles and self-indulgences? Do they think we're going to be "jealous" or "impressed"? These freaks remind me of Marie Antoinette-ilk scumbags.

Or is it a one-up kind of thing among the wealthy? Rich people are no different than low-class trailer trash in terms of gossiping about each other--in fact, they're a lot worse, b/c their whole existence revolves around "keeping up appearances."

He's buying jewelry with money that was robbed from the Public Treasury, made on the dead bodies of more than 10,000 Americans and 600,000 Iraqis killed in various ways by his war profiteering, dirty dealings, and incompetence.

Small minds think about other people.
Average minds think about things.
Great minds think about ideas.

9. When was the last time he did any fucking work? n/t

[colorado thinker]

13. Citrine?

A semi-precious stone? Timeless gift of jewelry, my ass. Cheap bastard, he can afford the real thing for a milestone birthday. Suppose he's making her cook her own birthday dinner, too? Pah!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. I said the same as you. I think he selected citrine as it has became the fake

birthstone for November. It should be Imperial Topaz. Much more pricey!

[Richard Steele]

31. My first thought too.

Cough up for some REAL jewellery, ya cheap bastid!

[rug]

14. Here's a closeup pic.

[11 Bravo]

18. That's only fair. How many "pearl necklaces" has he given Haggard?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. He's a cheap bastard. Citrine is very inexpensive. nt

[catzies]

21. He probably bought it watching Home Shopping Network.

Thrift is a virtue of his mother's although they've been rich a long time now.

[MoonRiver]

20. whoop tee doo

:eyes:

[bdamomma]

22. did he give her a crown?

[Retrograde]

25. How politically correct!

Citrine is not very expensive, something a Regular Guy like Bush would give the misses. Then they have a meal associated with an ethnic group whose votes they want. Do they ever do anything that's not calculated?

BTW, I like citrine and pretty much the whole range of Mexican cuisine. I hate to have them polluted by association.

And what's he doing at the ranch *again*?

[bermudat]

26. I find it hard to believe a 60yr woman wants enchiladas and tacos on her BD

Makes you a little gassy. Now I would want, broiled chilean sea bass with a mango sauce, steamed asparagus, green beans with a nice light cake for dessert. Why do they need a chef? They could go to Taco Bell for that feast.

27. Quartz??

why not a triple strand of Tanzanite...Burma Ruby...Padparasha Sapphire or Indicolite Tourmaline...but quartz???? hell, even Diamonds....then I'da been impressed...but quartz??...obviously he's a big spender....I'm sure she'll be thrilled...

Hmmm....sounds like Condi returned it.
