Laura Bush: 14 Years of Experience! Ready on Day One!

[Stephanie]

The Current First Lady has tons of experience, just like the Former First Lady! If Walnuts implodes, she's ready! On day one! As far as I know.


She's made harrowing landings in government aircraft:





She's met with visiting heads of state:



She has extensive experience in diplomatic missions abroad:



She's consulted with foreign policy officials regularly:



She's given groundbreaking speeches on a number of issues:



And worked on behalf of children everywhere:



Plus she can answer the phone, even outdoors:



Not sure that she's brokered any peace deals, but looks like she's off to do that now:




Laura Bush, Just As Experienced as McCain, and Probably Just as Nutty!

[citygal]

1. Does anyone else think

that Laura is on uppers?

[jgraz]

16. She is? Then she's even MORE QUALIFIED!!!!11

She'll totally be up at 3 am for that phone call.

[shain from kane]

21. She spent a lot of nights awake, wondering when drunk Dubya would be coming home.

Waiting for the phone call to bail him out of jail.

[jgraz]

23. My guess is she spent a lot of nights awake hoping he wouldn't

[thunder rising]

2. HOOOT!!!! Love it! In a few years she'll be as qualified as Hillary

[shain from kane]

3. McCain's wife supplied the alcohol that kept Bush* drunk for 40 years.

Laura was his grass dealer.

[jgraz]

17. Naw. McCain's wife was too busy stealing Oxy from her fake charity.

[tokenlib]

4. Sounds "Ready on Day One" by Hillary standards...

She could do promos for Xanax...

[Stephanie]

46. She's already a diplomat!

[Hepburn]

5. Maybe La-la Laura can run as the VP on a Hilly ticket?

:rofl: K&R....this OP is priceless!

[bigtree]

6. as if she was the only first lady to compare to.

as if there is ANY comparison to be made beyond their positions.

I'd compare Hillary Clinton to Eleanor Roosevelt, not the vacuous Laura.

[Gore1FL]

9. Eleanor Roosevelt is rolling in her grave

with that comparison.

[cali]

15. I agree. I think comparing her with Eleanor is much more apt

though I'd certainly place Eleanor above her. I do believe that Hillary has the right to claim experience from at least part of the time she spent in the White House.

[Bluerthanblue]

7. the truth in this comparison will not be acknowledged- because

it would be too devastating for those who have bought Hillary's PR.

:shrug:

peace~

[XemaSab]

8. You forgot:

[jgraz]

19. OMG!!! She's a Mooslim!!!11111one-hundred and eleven11!!!

[JimGinPA]

10. Nice Job!

K&R

[hulklogan]

11. Excuse me, but Senator Clinton has 7 years of experience representing

the people of New York. She serves on the Armed Services Committee, as well as Environment & Pubic Works, Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, and the Senate Special Committee on Aging.

This "Pickles has just as much experience as Shrillary" nonsense is just another lie being spread here on ObamaMonster Underground.

[stray cat]

14. Agreed - Hillary should state correctly she has 7 years of experience

and is ready on day 1

[hulklogan]

24. In addition to all of the "experience" she shares with Mrs. Bush.

Welcome to Obama Underground, where facts are meaningless.

[stray cat]

28. Sorry - I don't see Laura as experienced in any way

I think Chris Rock said that eventhough his wife has been married to him for years she wasn't likely to be a very good stand up comic.

[Stephanie]

29. there you go

I'm not an attorney, but my brother is so let me give you some advice.

[lumberjack_jeff]

40. In what way are they alike? Well, they're women of course.

I'm generally pretty tone-deaf about misogyny. But even I hear it now.

[cooolandrew]

12. Experience you can beleive in . 1st woman pres. In all fairnes don't mind Laura rally.

[cooolandrew]

13. Experience you can beleive in . 1st woman pres. In all fairnes don't mind Laura really....

I think she is just a real loyal person. I haven't seen much to put her in a bad light really. She was once a democrat too. Not a mccain statement really she is not politcal despite what some might say.

[Metric System]

22. Praise for Laura in a post designed to bash Hillary. Again, am I on Free Republic?!?

[sniffa]

18. Experience you can Xerox

[Yael]

48. But funny enough, those tax returns can't seem to find a copier.

[Stephanie]

50. That's odd.

Hillary being a Xerox expert and all, you'd think she could give us a copy of those returns.

[Metric System]

20. Oh, another borrowed joke from the Right Wingers. A couple of years ago they were floating the idea

of a Laura Bush run as a way to demean Hillary and her accomplishments. At this point I can't say I'm surprised to see Obama supporters putting forth the same argument, even though the only thing Laura and Hillary have in common is the First Lady role. For one thing, Hillary is a graduate of Yale Law and, well, Laura isn't.

[shain from kane]

26. Laura graduated under the Dewey Decimal System, no small feat.

[Stephanie]

27. roflmao!

:hi:

[wheresthemind]

25. devastating argument

[Faygo Kid]

30. What about Babs? 8 years a veep's wife, 4 years First Lady, 8 years prez's mom = 20 years!

Perfect! None of that "hope" garbage for her, either!

On Iraq: "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? Oh, I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?"

On Katrina: "What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

See? Solutions, not speeches!

[shain from kane]

31. And she's a golfer, too.

"America's Grandmother, Barbara Bush, is also the woman who did not attend the funeral of her own Mother nor the funeral of her then three year old daughter Robin who died of luekemia.

The day after Robin Bush died of leekemia at the age of three, George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush
played a round of golf. There was no funeral for Robin Bush and she was buried in New York--not
transported back to Texas where the Bush's lived at the time."

[0xDEADBEEF]

32. Waitaminute waitaminute waitaminute!!!

By the rules of Bush family succession, Jenna should be next in line for the crown.


Wont that be fun! :toast:

[intheozone]

33. There is no comparison between Laura and Hillary. Your

post is a waste of space here.

[shain from kane]

36. Maybe she engages in a lot of unheralded activities, behind the scenes, and out of the limelight.

I think there should be a full airing of the comparative worth of each one's functions at the White House.

[Stephanie]

37. If only Hillary would release her WH schedule records, we could do that

:shrug:

[shain from kane]

47. Intheozone's complaint really has no substance. Why question the comparison if everyone is confident

that HRC was a superior First Lady to Laura Bush? I would think that supporters of HRC would be shouting it from the rooftops, with the evidence, as you say, that could be provided by the WH schedules.

[Stephanie]

49. And yet the Clintons saw fit to block their release.

What's up with that???

[ElsewheresDaughter]

34. For The Record all you O children ...............

[TexasThoughtCriminal]

35. Wow, that's more experience than John McCain!

Laura Bush: Ready on Day One to protect America from phones ringing in the middle of the night.

[lumberjack_jeff]

38. Remind me again what happened during that time?

a) H Clinton's role as first lady was significantly different than L Bush. GW Bush campaigned on the fact that he intended her to have only a marginal role in his administration. A role she's fulfilled admirably, one prozac at a time.
b) What happened in Texas, and later in the administration while her husband was president? What about Clinton?

I get tired of the frequent claims of sexism driving Hillary's opposition. Sometimes, however, I am forced to concede that they have a point.

Hillary and Laura have only one thing in common - they are women. In reality, they're not alike. They performed different roles and they can't be treated interchangeably.

[Stephanie]

39. The only evidence we have of that is Hillary's word.

Which isn't worth anything after the string of lies she's told in this campaign. Tell her to release the records of her WH schedule so we can make an informed analysis.

[lumberjack_jeff]

41. That, and you know... newspapers 'n stuff.

Even if you're not old enough to have read them first time 'round.

[Stephanie]

42. Why do you feel it's insulting to imply someone's younger than you are?

Generally I'd take that as a huge compliment. But for the record, I am over 40. So come up with another devastating zinger!

[lumberjack_jeff]

45. Anybody who doesn't know/believe that Hillary had a different role than Laura

Can't have kept up with the news in the last 16 years.

[Stephanie]

51. Well Laura didn't fail at leading a health care task force & screw it up for an entire generation.

So I see what you mean.

[Mooney]

43. Snort! Chortle!

Very funny.

[JPZenger]

44. Travelled to many countries, involved in children's issues, ...

She has the perfect qualifications - she's travelled to many countries, she's been involved in children's issues, and she killed her boyfriend at age 19 (don't believe me? google it).

[Flabbergasted]

52. Love it.
