In all the flap about JK yesterday, not too much attention was paid to Pickles

[bunny planet]

trashing Michael J Fox. Seems as if, since she is their only sympathetic character left in the line-up, her nasty remarks may have been something they'd like to distract from.

1. Listeners to "Head-On With Bob Kincaid"

heard about it, that's for sure. (Shameless self-promotion)

2. Always so compassionate to make nasty comments about illnessess!

What a classy lady! Must have learned from her mother-in-law.

3. What office is she running for?

You don't think the final total collapse of Bush's last justification for keeping our troops in Iraq might have been something they were just a bit more concerned about? You really think anyone gives a frig about Laura Bush's comments? She said something dumb, so what else is new? I wasn't planning on voting for her anyway.

4. On any given day, there are a shitload of stories they'd rather not have see

the light of day. My point was, and the point of the original poster I might add, is that Laura is who they trot out when they can't find a credible spokesperson because she is the only Republican in the WH who is still sympathetic. Pathetic I know, since she is no different than the rest of them, morally bankrupt. Pointing out that she is just as disgusting as the rest of them, and playing it out in the media (if they will cover it, which is doubtful), in addition to yelling about much more important stories of course, could be helpful. I wasn't suggesting that this was the only story they wanted to distract from, that would've been absurd.
