First Lady Laura Bush, who already had planned a trip to Minneapolis on Friday for events including the Republican Party's summer meeting in its 2008 convention city, will make another stop there in the morning: The scene of the collapsed I-35 bridge on the Mississippi River.

Mrs. Bush will visit the "Interstate 35W Bridge Collapse Overlook'' late in the morning as well as visiting the Emergency Operation Command Center to meet with volunteers and first responders, according to the White House.

The first lady will then simply "drop by'' the Republican National Committee Summer Meeting, where she had been on the agenda along with spokesmen for some of the party's presidential candidates, before addressing the Helping Americas Youth Fourth Regional Conference. at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.

1. My thoughts on this contemptable approximation of compassion

are unpublishable here. Suffice it to say, I think we could all do with much less of the Bush family's version of aid and comfort.

2. Helping America's Youth ???

More like Helping America's Youth Die Needlessly In Some Cockamamie War That Your Foolish Husband Has Cooked Up
While You Go Serve Crumpets At a Convention Full of Idiot Freeps and Conservo-Weenies... Oh and What a Shame
about the Bridge... The Bridge That Your Husband Threatened To Veto Funding For Fixing.

What A DIsgusting Cast Of Characters.. BAH!

3. Imagine our relief. Everything will be all right now.

sure she's not going to give it a fly-over like her husband's first response to Katrina?
So far Bush's response to the disaster at the north end of the mississippi has nearly matched his priceless performance at the southern end.



Why do the Bushes hate the Mississippi??

4. She is attempting a trip down memory lane...

she wants to be 'dime bag laura' to all the college repukes.

5. As if they don't have enough problems...a goddamned entourage

fucking up their streets. :grr: :puke:

[northernsoul]

6. yeah, in case they haven't noticed

we're going to be running a little low on roads for secret service motorcades.

9. Oh, I imagine she'll just get off a Northwest flight and hail a taxi.

7. Laura Bush Is Less Relevant Than Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan

Who cares what she thinks, says, or does?

The GOP bent over backwards to deny Hillary Clinton any relevance from 1992 - 2000.

Why in the hell should we care about the vapid and inconsequential Laura Bush?

Hell, her HUSBAND wasn't even elected to office!

8. Grim death and destruction actually preceded the Republicans this time

or were they already there?

10. Need a picture of her flyover from 20,000 feet. Will she be playing a guitar at the summer meeting?
