Laura Bush: Americans discussing war should be careful what they say

[Rose Siding]

HILLIARD, Ohio -- First lady Laura Bush cautioned Wednesday that Americans discussing the war in Iraq _ especially politicians _ should be careful what they say because other countries are paying attention.

"The right to have these conversations is part of what makes our country great and our democracy strong. We must be mindful that people around the world are listening to these discussions," Laura Bush said at a suburban Columbus recreation center during a campaign appearance with Rep. Deborah Pryce.

"Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home in a way that does not jeopardize our troops in harm's way," she said, calling for "conversations conducted with civility and respect."

[Norrin Radd]

8. Laura, seeing your robotic, traitorous face in news photos

is harming my health and sanity.

[ClassWarrior]

Apparently John Boner wasn't listening to her.

:rofl:

NGU.

[Imagevision]

9. Other countries are paying attention and the US. doesn't look good these days Laura

how this woman can sleep with this slime ball, he probably farts in her face and blames it on barney...

[Rose Siding]

16. 1st time anyone connected to the bush admin pretended to care...

about other countries' conclusions.

[libnnc]

10. Hey Laura, read my lips...

F U C K Y O U

[Roland99]

11. Kill any boyfriends lately, Pickles? Fuck off, BITCH!

[roamer65]

12. Fuck you and learn to drive, Laura.

...and I don't apologize for my remarks.

[Jacobin]

13. If we stay weeely weeely quiet and don't mention

that we are getting our asses kicked, maybe no one will notice.

Wascally Wabbit Laura

[Cha]

14. Fuck off you ghoul.

go lick dirty cement.

[Jo March]

15. So, we have free speech but not really?

That's how it is now? Well, it's nice that the Dear Leader's wife laid that out so nicely for us all.

Come on, Novemeber 7th. I want my country back!!

[Mabus]

20. We have free speech but only on certain topics and

only if you speak about the glorious leader's successes and RW talking points.





I almost typed all of that without laughing.

[Mabus]

21. And that's why blogs from troops in Iraq are disappearing from the internet

:banghead:

[Jo March]

43. Yep, we have to glorify our wonderful leader

I used to laugh when someone said stuff like that. I don't laugh anymore. Soon, we'll lose the 1st Amendment. All in the name of national security, dontcha know.

[Mabus]

52. I laughed mostly out of nervousness

When I first thought up the reply I thought it was funny because it was so absurd, As I typed the words out and saw them in b&W, the words suddenly didn't seem as absurd and I laughed out of nervousness.

[Jo March]

61. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean

I laugh like that when I talk about liberals being rounded up and sent to re-education camps. When I see the words, they suddenly don't seem so far-fetched.

[Generic Other]

17. She's right. The whole world is fucking watching.

while her husband carries out his nefarious plans.

[Olney Blue]

18. Shhhhh.... the terrorists are listening. We aren't safe. Be afraid.

[tridim]

19. How anti-American of her

Does she even know that we have a Constitution and a Bill Of Rights?

[Imagevision]

22. Try this----> Google "dime bag laura"

While a student at Southern Methodist University in the 1960s, first lady Laura Bush was known "as a go-to girl for dime bags of marijuana."

[grytpype]

24. Like nobody knows Bush f*cked up, so let's keep it quiet.

What total bullshit. The whole world outside of the Evangelical Megachurches knows that Bush f*cked up and is the dumbest motherf*cker on the entire planet.

[yorkiemommie1]

25. go eat some cake, laura

n/t

[kestrel91316]

26. Fuck "civility and respect", lady! The gloves are off. We may not

have thrown the first punch in this war of words and wits, but by God we are going to have the final say.

Sit down and shut up, Pickles.

[dflprincess]

27. I wonder if Laura's made a deal

She'll run around the country shilling for Georgie and he'll give her everything she wants in the divorce settlement.

[VOX]

28. Remember Ari Fleischer? "Watch what you say, watch what you do."

Precious little has changed. Only Laura has become the party mouthpiece on this line of horsecrap. :grr:

[WinkyDink]

33. Lynne Cheney to Wolf: "Be careful...."

[Richard Steele]

29. Hey Laura: Go up on the roof and take a flying fuck at the flagpole.

Or maybe just take some more Xanax and wash it down
with a nice cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP?

Stupid, vapid, plastic surgery disaster gonna tell US
to be careful? Fuck you, Laura. Fuck you in the heart.

[Cetacea]

30. Pickles!!!

STFU!

[Imagevision]

31. Today's tabloid has laura secrertly preparing divorce from stupid.

[seafan]

32. Shades of Ari "Careful what you say.." Fleischer. It's all about threats. n/t

[Imagevision]

34. Laura stupid, reckless and on drugs married George.

[flordehinojos]

36. okay now she is fear planting too. i wonder under what sorts of drugs they have her now.

In a novel called THE PRISONER OF TORDESILLAS they kept JUANA LA LOCA crazy because they'd make all sorts of noises at night to keep her up and then in the daytime they'd sedate her, not before giving her the chance to tell others that she had heard this or that noise during the night--all of which contributed to her idea of reference that FELIPE EL HERMOSO, her husband, was after many women who were also after him in turn.

I wonder just what they are doing to laura bush that she is so compliantly planting fear and selling the bush propaganda to all four corners ofthe world.

[knitter4democracy]

37. Did she tell her husband that?

The guy who said it would only be a footnote? Yeah. I didn't think so.

[NeoConsSuck]

38. Hey Pickles

we have a lot of international members at DU. I'm sure they're spreading the word! :rofl:

[hatrack]

39. Because if they're not careful, they might say things that aren't true, right Laura?

Like there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

Like Saddam Hussein trying to obtain yellowcake from Niger?

Like aluminum tubes manifestly unsuitable for enrichment being touted as part of a secret enrichment program?

Like Saddam Hussein being linked with al Qaeda?

Like Muhammed Atta meeting in Prague with a member of the Iraqi Mukhabarat?

Like saying that we have enough troops for the job at hand?

Like saying that we have a plan to drive out Saddam Hussein and stabilize the country?

Like saying that the WMDs are located just east, south, north and west of Baghdad?

Like going in front of the entire United Nations and lying about satellite photographs?

Like saying that you "support the troops" while cutting funding for body armor, VA medical care, vehicle up-armoring and even for support services - i.e. meals?

Like saying that the insurgency is "in its last throes"?

Like saying that $4 billion and 1,000 Iraqi deaths a week = "progress"?

Yeah, that would be just terrible, wouldn't it, Laura?

[ClusterFreak]

42. Well put!! n/t

[Megahurtz]

40. Oh Brother.

:eyes:

[nealmhughes]

41. Oh, Pickles! Please go back on the BIG Xanax bars... and STFU.

Or in more polite terms:
Mrs. Bush, you have no more right to make recommendations regarding to whom or with whom I speak, nor on any issue, than does a corpse.
When I blog, it is open to the world, not to a selected audience. Anyone is welcome to read my words and make feedback from anywhere that English -- occasionally French and rarely Spanish -- is read.
Perhaps you don't understand that many of us get a great deal of our news and analyses from "foreign" sources: The Guardian, The Observor, The Independent, The Financial Times, Globe and Mail, ABC, AFP, le Figaro, le Monde and le Monde Diplomatique, etc.
We listen to the BBC, Radio Havana, Radio Netherlands and many other radio stations, not solely CNN and CNBC or FOX. We may even watch INN and Mosaic and get the news translated into English from Mideastern sources!
Are you sure you were once a "librarian" or merely an elementary school teacher who handed out Dr. Seuss and The Little Engine Who Could? I can't imagine that anyone with a professional graduate degree in information science would make such a comment unless she were not thinking clearly or else merely letting very bad handlers handle the TelePrompter. Does your medication need a review?
I say what I want to whomever wherever I like and you may go perform an act of anal coitus upon your canine companion if you do not like it.

[MadMaddie]

44. Yea I don't take advice from a botulism Stepford wife..

[Mr_Spock]

45. Hahaha! Laura is becoming one of them

Her favorability ratings will be in the gutter before long...

[The Gunslinger]

46. What about conversations about stopping at stop signs!!!!

[SunDrop23]

47. What. utter. bullshit.

Nitwit.

[Terri S]

48. uh, excuse me Laura dear, but BITE ME BITCH!!!!!!!

[musette_sf]

49. people driving through stop signs

should also be careful how they drive...

[EFerrari]

50. How you going to celebrate the anniversary of your first homicide?

Will you be careful, Laura? It's coming right up, isn't it?

If anyone should know about being careful, it's the Resident's wife.

[cool user name]

51. Before I lose my 1st Amendment rights ...

... please kindly lick the sweat off my balls. When you are done with that, you can clean my anus with your tongue.

First, I'm going to take a really nasty shit.

[ronnykmarshall]

53. Shut the fuck up, Laura.

Take a fucking pill and have a nice trip back to Stepford.

[Bruichladdich]

54. If only your politics would show a little civility and respect of live

we wouldn't have to see those pictures:

[elehhhhna]

55. Her Effing Husband should have been careful what HE SAID,

She and her entire family, blood and marriage, have shamed themselves. In perpetuity. May she feel she's in hell HERE, before she goes to hell over THERE.

[LeftishBrit]

57. OMG!

Since when have troops been endangered by ordinary political debate; it's not as though state secrets are being revealed.

The troops ARE endangered by governments' policies. The whole world is endangered by the view that governments must not be questioned or criticized too much - against the whole principle of freedom that the troops are supposedly fighting for.

And unfortunately this anti-democratic disease is spreading to the UK. Some 'Labour' ministers said similar stuff in the recent Iraq debate in parliament.

[SoCalDem]

58. Somebody's been talkin' to Ari Fleischer

:)

[mmonk]

59. Pfffft! Yeah right. Inform your party then Laura.

[Vidar]

60. Probably true if that she-devil is driving.

[Marr]

62. Exercise your right to free speech by not using it.

Brilliant.

Pampered idiot.
