1. I vote for the "PR Stunt" with a caveat... |
|
Cindy has to get press throughout all of next week.
If she does, the majors will pick it up and start giving it airtime. Obviously, Bush can't talk to her, so I think the only GOP option is to bring in Laura and a TON of reporters.
...we'll see...

2. That would be sexist, but if Bush pulls that one |
|
Cindy should treat Laura the same as she would Bush and ask her, in addition to her three questions, why Bush is afraid to talk her.

4. she would definitely need to keep her cool |
|
the wingnuts would love her to get angry so they could paint her as a catty bitch.
i agree with your additional question.

been sacrificed. No empathy there. I think she is not any brighter than her husband. Just because she can actually read does not really make her any better at dealing with people.
That would be akin to what he did when he sent Laura to the Citicorp building when it was a terrorist target, when he would not go there himself. Very nice, asshole. You are afraid to go there yourself, but you send your wife. Are you going to send your Mommy next?

5. Since this hasn't already been done, I'm thinking Laura is just not |
|
for this game. She knows Cindy is going to suggest the twins enlist and how can you possibly answer that? I'm hoping Laura says "no, George, this is your mess, you clean it up".

6. Laura's too busy campaigning against street gangs. |
|
After all, didn't the Chimp say, during his SOTU in January that confronting the menace of street gangs would be a top priority for her?
And, since then, hasn't she done soooo much campaigning against the Crips, and the Bloods, and the Insane Unknowns, and... and :sarcasm:

7. and all Cindy has to say is, "I hear you make some very |
|

13. From what I have seen and read so far |
|
I think Cindy is ready for anything. She can take whatever they throw at her, return it threefold, and be gracious about it all at the same time. I think that's part of what has Dubya and Co. scared (aside from the fact that Dubya's a complete coward to begin with). If Cindy were to rant and rave, they could portray her as a raving loon and the press would dismiss her as such. But she maintains her cool and comes across as intelligent and tactful and that scares the bejesus out of Dubya. Good for her. You go girl!

Maybe Cindy should have two sets of camis ready in the twin's sizes to give to Laura or Dubya just in case she actually gets a chance to talk to one of them. ;)

19. Oh, I hope that ugly woman goes out to talk to Cindy, and I hope |
|
Cindy calls her a liar, because that's what she is. I have a feeling Condi will lose her cool and there's nothing I'd like to see more than Condi yelling in the hot Texas sun. Come on out from the hidey hole, Condi.

15. I was thinking if it gets really ugly for them they may trot out some pro- |
|
war Gold Star moms to "talk some sense into her."
Maybe to represent the bush clan itself they will drag out the old one with the pearls as she had a child who died, also.

16. I had this conversation with my brother last night. |
|
Where is the anti-Cindy? Why haven't they dragged her out to face the media yet?
Where is the mom who was against the war, had her child killed over there and is now for it? Does she exist.
I didn't think so.

That would attract media attention. They will simply ignore her.
