Uh-oh.. Laura's gonna be under general anesthesia.. .

[SoCalDem]

As the 2nd lady and 1st runner-up , surely Lynne must be all atwitter at the thought of wearing the crown..even if it's only temporary..

[Hand]

1. How will we be able to tell? nt

[Eurobabe]

2. Yeah, she can steal Laura's drapes and then barge

into her hospital room demanding that she give up all her secret recipes.

[liberal N proud]

3. I think the surgery isn't going to remove the pinched never that is bothering her

It is going to take something much bigger than surgery to take care of that.

[mwb970]

10. She is trying to get rid of a pain in the neck.

Just like we are!

[fed-up]

4. I think they ought to use truth serum.....nt

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

5. Nice to see her hubby right there, holding her hand, oh wait,

Never mind.

P.S. She wasn't at Camp David for his colonoscopy.

Do they prefer that they not be anesthetized when the other's around? :shrug: MKJ

[Canuckistanian]

6. Does that mean that Lynne takes possession of the liquor cabinet key?

Otherwise known as the "First Lady Football"?

[Vanje]

7. 2nd lady ; Dosnt that job belong to Condi Rice?

[kskiska]

8. Who will take over the First Lady's duties

while she's under the knife?

[daninthemoon]

9. Had all kinds of snarky stuff pop to my mind, but then realized I

do wish her health. Not a fan, don't like her, just not the same as wishin ill on the real cabalists.

on edit: NEVER MIND, this is kind of fun after all.

[johnfunk]

11. Will Gonzo serve renegotiated post-prenup on Laura at an "appropriate" moment?

Just askin'...

[Myrina]

12. ... did something go wrong with the first Stepfordization ...

... all those years ago? :shrug:

[Webster Green]

13. The batteries eventually wear down..

They will probably implant an updated version of the bot-chip since they have to go in for the battery replacement anyway.:patriot:

[Lint Head]

14. Condi will step in.

:dem:

[LostInAnomie]

15. I wonder if they'll use the hospital's drugs...

... or her own private stash.

[UTUSN]

16. The Stepford microchip is being upgraded!!1 n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

17. As she is for every press conference. n/t

[MidwestTransplant]

18. They better keep Condi away!

[VP505]

19. "Laura's gonna be under general anesthesia"

She's been under the Commander Guy, so why not General Anesthesia?

[Stephanie]

20. His wife is having surgery and Bush won't even be in town???

Can you imagine? Would that happen in any marriage YOU know? And remember in 2000, during the recount, when Jenna had an apendectomy and Laura stayed in Texas with her while George went ahead with the scheduled vacation, fishing with Poppy in Florida at some compound? Remember that? His own daughter had surgery and George couldn't delay his vacation for a day or two to be with her. And now his own wife. This is elective surgery too, they could have made it happen when he could be there. What a cold, heartless family. It's just shocking.

[NV Whino]

21. Umm, it may be Laura's choice.

I know if I were in Laura's position, I wouldn't want the fool around.

[Jade Fox]

23. Really, you'd think that , if only for appearances....

they would have him play the role of the caring husband. But I guess no one dares to tell George what to do at this stage in his megalomania.

[valerief]

22. I guess she's going to be the first to pretend-die and shuttle off to

Paraguay with her friends the Ken Lays. Merkans media will boo-hoo for Bush and the twinnies. Over time, LB will become the Merkan Princess Di with documentaries glorifying her librarian cataloguing efforts over the years. Mega-churches will tell Merkans to vote Republican in honor of LB. And they will, of course, whether they actually do or not, because all that matters is what Diebold and ESS record anyway. It won't be long before the rest of the Bushies and the Cheneys and the Kristols, etc., get Paraguayed. A new crop of dictators will rise up and beat down the civilized world until it is almost unrecognizable. They won't care, because robots will do their bidding and they can replenish their failing organs with those from their many clones.

It will be a New World Order, and it starts with Laura "Zombie" Bush.

[Keefer]

24. Next thing you know

she'll be under general Petraeus.
