Laura Bush brings trailer home with her on military plane to Afghanistan
Edited on Wed Jun-11-08 10:08 AM by Fighting Irish
This is delightful: Laura Bush has been visiting The Troops in Afghanistan, and she’s doing it in typical trailer trash princess style. She flew on a military troop carrier, but she sure as hell wouldn’t sit in the “regular chairs.” So they dragged a luxury trailer on board that features the juxtaposing combo of cheap wood paneling and first-class seating.



{Insert tasteless trailer trash joke here}

2. Doesn't Chicken Hawk Dick travel with something like that too?
But he probably has the bunker buster proof paneling in his.

4. Definitely creepy
I mean there aren't even any windows on that thing.

A totally artificial "coccoon" to shield her from reality.

5. She has to have a private place to smoke and use the bathroom.
I'm sure that's the reason The Midland Killer got such fancy digs.

6. That's the plane Cheney uses sometimes






"Spirit Of Strom Thurmond"

Quotes from Strom:

"Our niggers is better off than most anybody's niggers, why, they got washing machines and some of'um even got televisions. I can't understand why they complaining."

"I want to tell you that there's not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the Negro race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches"

7. This is quite a common thing
and has been for a long time. When flying military cargo transports, VIPs often fly in these.

13. That would have entailed compassion and money.
Just not possible with this administration. :(

11. Yeah, she probably stopped at the base
and was escorted around the new gated artificial communities we built there. The rest of the country in shambles.

12. Please do not use the term "Trailer Trash."
It is offensive to me as I live in a mobile home and when I hear that term, it really ruffles my feathers.
