Laura Bush Faces Protesters in Jerusalem
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM -- First lady Laura Bush was met by protesters as she visited two of Jerusalem's holiest sites Sunday. Mrs. Bush, who is on a Middle Eastern tour meant, in part, to help defuse anti-American sentiment, placed a note in the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest shrine. She wrote the note on the plane to Jerusalem, but told reporters she wanted to keep its contents private.

She then went to the Dome of the Rock, a mosque on a hilltop compound known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif and to Jews as Temple Mount. Before she entered the mosque, one heckler yelled, ''How dare you come in here?'' and ''Why do you hassle our Muslims?''

Mrs. Bush removed her shoes as she entered the mosque and walked barefoot on the red carpet. She held a black scarf tightly around her head as she gazed up at the gilded dome and the colorful mosaics on the marble walls.

A group of women studying inside the mosque were clearly annoyed at the intrusion and waved their fingers at the U.S. entourage. Despite the chaos at both sites, Mrs. Bush kept smiling and did not say much.

At the Western Wall, dozens of protesters stood nearby, shouting, ''Free Pollard now.'' Jonathan Pollard is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison for spying for Israel.

The first lady was mobbed by protesters and local reporters, and Secret Service agents and guards had to physically hold back the crowd as she approached the wall.

Mrs. Bush's next stop Sunday is the West Bank town of Jericho, where she will participate in a round-table discussion with prominent Palestinian women.

1. Not smiling here....LOL

[im10ashus]

2. I wonder what was on the note?

Was she asking for the Almighty to forgive her idiot husband for his lies?

[lonestarnot]

4. "Dear Gawd, I just shit my pants. Can you help me out of this mess?"

[im10ashus]

6. LMAO!

Thanks, coffee has been spewed on my keyboard.

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

9. So sorry...

[notadmblnd]

3. I find my self wondering just how much of a dosage she takes

the white, pink or purple pill? I'll bet she doubles up on the purple.

Xanax comes in such pretty colors.

[leftchick]

10. Having taken a sedative or two in my day....

I would wager she eats these like candy....

[Spiffarino]

15. She probably calls them her "li'l hearts"

"He did what? *sigh*"

"Karl, be a dear and bring me mah li'l hearts and a tall glass of Absolut."

[Tesla]

34. Now my coffee is on my keyboard!!!!

[Spiffarino]

63. Raw truth = Comedy

;)

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Does her Jeezus know she was

hanging with folks who worship a different Gawd??

[Just Me]

7. A wee bit of a wake-up call for the lady from the ivory white tower.

Imagine if she actually acknowledged the millions of millions of protestors who find her hubby and his regime repulsive to democracy.

Imagine.

[im10ashus]

8. They have more of a democracy there than we do here.

It's obvious they don't "screen" participants there like they do at home. Welcome to the real world, Pickles!

[Just Me]

20. Our neoCONcorporacrats suppress/control/censor information,...

,...more than any former leadership in American history. The neoCON regime has PROVEN by its action its intent upon controlling the flow of facts. That's tyrannical behavior in opposition to democracy.

They do so to shelter themselves rather than the American people.

They are failing, though. The information is still breaking through.

11. "Despite the chaos at both sites,

Mrs. Bush kept smiling and did not say much." I guess those pills really do come in handy when you are married to the most hated asshole on the planet and people aren't shy about telling you. So much for Evita's rainbow tour. Watch for Pickles' next tour to be aptly named the "red" state tour - kicking off in Utah and ending up on the steps of Bob Jones University.

[im10ashus]

12. Good one. The rainbow tour!

"Don't cry for me Crawford, Texas."

[lonestarnot]

13. OMG... This great post "Don't cry for me Crawford, TX"

[im10ashus]

14. "...the truth is I can't remember.

I took a Valium. And then a Xanax. I need a cocktail. To get me through this."

[LibDemAlways]

17. I love it.

Pickles on the Truman balcony, wearing her butt ugly gold gown with the blue sash and long "meet the queen" gloves, arms outstretched, warbling "I kept my promise...Don't keep your distance." Classic.

[im10ashus]

24. The New Pickles Peron!

It ain't been easy, I think you've seen
When I try to explain how I feel
I just manage to mumble and produce a blank stare

You must believe me
All you will see is a chick from the sticks
Although she can relate to equine
That's sickening bestiality to you

I never thought it'd happen, I have to say
Couldn't stay all my life in the hills
Staying stoned on prescriptions, staying out of the sun

So I chose Dubya
Running around, trying drugs that were new
At Kennebunkport it was snowing in June
I never had sex 'til 22

(chorus)

Don't cry for me Crawford, Texas.
The truth is I can't remember.
I took a Valium. And then a Xanax,
I need a cocktail. To get me through this.

And as for Muslims, and as for Jews
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are delusions
They're not real people they're all in my head
The noises are here all the time
They love me, they really love me

Don't cry for me Crawford, Texas

(chorus)

Have I drank too much?
Rove and Gannon can drink more than any of you.
Hold on I have to take this call,
Barb and Jenna are drunk at the zoo.

[LibDemAlways]

42. Wonderful.

Thank you. And so true when you consider that satire is rooted in truth.

[tavalon]

54. Thank God

I wasn't drinking my coffee just then! I love it!

[FreedomAngel82]

27. After this stunt

watch the "tour" be a few more days and then she'll come home and they won't do it anymore. Just like Bush with the SS tour he was going to do. After the democrats had the rally against Bush's plans I never heard if he was going on the tour again. Whatever happened to that by the way?? :shrug: They couldn't control the outcome and make Laura look great like they do here. Her raitings doesn't work there.

[goclark]

59. ROTFL

[Meeker Morgan]

16. An in-joke I'm not getting.

Why is she called "Pickles"?

[im10ashus]

18. I believe that's the shrubs nickname for her.

Possibly because she gets pickled a lot? Not sure.

[lonestarnot]

19. Picklepuss....

[rocktivity]

49. "Pickles" is George's pet name for Laura

But there's nothing I can say about it--my father's pet name for my mother was "Cabbage."

:headbang:

[spanone]

21. Send her ass home, she has nothing to do with politics.

It's an insult to the women of the Middle East. Maybe she should try her comedy routine.

[Catt03]

22. Right.....why is she even there?

With the chaos her husband has ignited in the ME, why would they send her there?

And to talk about women's rights? Did she mention the fundies and contraception, condoms and stem cell research? Did she mention that we are now a nation against science and most of it revolves around women and God's will?

Oh please....

[im10ashus]

25. Showing American women what they will look like in Burkhas.

After all, it's only a matter of time.

[louis-t]

50. "why would they send her there?"

That's what happens when you start believing your own bullshit. bushies really believe they are heroes the world over.

[lonestarnot]

23. Oh that would be her fart in Church ...LOL

[tavalon]

55. You think they would appreciate the horse penis one? n/t

[mopaul]

26. yeah, this is working out nicely, the middle east is now about to explode

[im10ashus]

28. And this will be what American women will be wearing...

...if the rethugs have their way.

[rocktivity]

47. Remember how nicely the new Iraqi flag worked out?

[jimshoes]

48. Mopaul, that gif is

one of your best.

[Catherine Vincent]

29. Look at the scared shitless expression on her face!

LOL!

[Stephanie]

60. I can't see her face. There's about 10 inches of makeup on it.

That is an obscene amount of makeup. She looks like Joan Crawford.

[Clark2008]

30. Looks more like the mosque hit her.

Seriously, who's "brilliant" idea was this?
Having the wife of the man who most Muslims see as their No. 1 Enemy joining women in the mosque is about as stupid as sending John Bolton to the UN... oh...I guess that answers my question. :crazy:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

31. Welcome to a Real Townhall Meeting Pickles!

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

32. Get a load of this post from a FWeeper:

"Our poor gracious first lady, subjected to the hoots of this street scum. May they die soon, be wrapped in pig skins and buried facing west."

44. These people are NUTS

"may they die soon, be wrapped in pig skins and buried facing west."

:wtf:

[tavalon]

56. I'm guessing

you already knew that.

[sickinohio]

37. Ha - it looks like the Bi*ch is crying

Can't stand her - she's as evil as the rest of the "family".

[lonestarnot]

39. Well she sure ain't whistlin' dixie! ROFLOL

[im10ashus]

46. You can practically see her shaking in her boots.

Too bad she didn't wear the Condi shit-kicking boots.

[Deja Q]

40. So * is galloping around in the West Bank? How long before a...

live... dead... phony... live and fortunately didn't blow up grenade be thrown at him, as reported by the FBI - just as they've said the same repetition of "dead/live/loose/captured/dead/soon to be captured" regarding Al Zarquari and Osama (who, once again, has disappeared from the radar screen. Go figure.)

How come these repuke idiots say * is defending America when he can't even capture his so-called nemesis (despite helping his nemesis' family leave the US after 9/11, that's bizarre and almost schizophrenic in approach... of course, * is the same guy who, after invading Afghanistan, made a decision to NOT have the opium fields destroyed - an act that should have destroyed our credibility in the so-called "war on drugs", yet hasn't because the people/sheeple are utter shit-heads. x( )

[lonestarnot]

41. Hypnotoad... I've seen you Avatar 50 million times, but I

never get tired of it... makes me smile every time I see your post!

"Damn...I miss Jerry & Pat!!!"

[mzmolly]

45. You know you suck when your hated by the ENTIRE mid east.

Perhaps Bush is the "great uniter" after all? :eyes:

[lonestarnot]

51. Yes.. our foreign policy sucks when we send a smiling drugged up

stepford wife as a foreign ambassador to those we've kicked to the curb. We suck alright.

[im10ashus]

62. Don't you know?

It's all NewsWeak's fault.

[Taxloss]

52. Why on Earth was she there in the first place?

Whose stupid idea was this trip?

[im10ashus]

58. My guess is Karl Rove is behind this.

"Let's send Pickles to the ME so the boys will have the White House to themselves."

[knitter4democracy]

53. I'll bet her note had something to do with her pregnancies.

No woman, even Laura, forgets her miscarriages. Maybe it was in thanks for her twins, maybe it was a prayer for the ones she'd lost. I feel bad that she let herself be used like that, but maybe she got something out of the trip as well.

[Cobalt Violet]

57. Being first lady is "hard work".

:spray:

[im10ashus]

61. Hillary made it look so easy, comparatively. n/t
