First Lady: World Listening to Iraq Talk

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."

Bush did not mention her husband's 2004 election opponent, Sen. John Kerry, but her comments came on the day the Democrat apologized for telling a group of California students that individuals who don't study hard and do their homework would likely "get stuck in Iraq." Aides said the senator had mistakenly dropped one word from his prepared remarks, which was originally written to say "you end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq." In that context, they said, it was clear Kerry was referring to Bush, not to the troops.

Pryce is in a close fight for her Ohio seat against Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy.

7. Pickles is doing a lot of yapping these days.

She's probably worried about subpeonas from guys like John Conyers more than her idiot husband is.

[Horse with no Name]

17. They are desperate aren't they?

Since Laura polls higher than her fuckwad of a husband, they dried her out and are letting her be the mouthpiece.

[tanyev]

8. Oh brother. Now she's channeling Ari Fleischer.

MR. FLEISCHER: I'm aware of the press reports about what he said. I have not seen the actual transcript of the show itself. But assuming the press reports are right, it's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. And that's why -- there was an earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party -- they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do.This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.

[savemefromdumbya]

Just like your cowardly chickenhawk husband.

[goforit]

12. Get Real Laura!!!.....Living your Husbands fantasy is KILLING our troops!!!

much less our reputations as AMERICANS!!!!

[Missy M]

13. Can someone please tell me how debating about Iraq in this

country will "jeopardize our troops in harm's way", per Laura Bush. What exactly does that mean? How will debating about the war in Iraq jeopardize our troops, I can't figure it out.

[Horse with no Name]

14. Be mindful of your own predicament asshole

You are married to the MOST EVIL man to EVER run this country.
Other countries SHOULD be paying attention--but alas--it isn't other "politicians" that they are paying attention to.
It is the evil group of minions--including your husband--that seek to destroy the world.
Go have another Xanax and leave us thinking people the fuck alone.

[endarkenment]

15. I'll be very careful:

Bush is a fucking asshole and war criminal who lied and defrauded the american people and congress into supporting a shameful and criminal war of aggression against iraq, a war from which he is clueless about how to extricate us because he is too fucking arrogant to admit his mistakes.

[gfnrob]

16. Someone needs to get laid

all that pent up frustration is now bubbling out, But with the shrubs ED, who will step in and save the shrubess from hysteria??? Rush??? Mehlmen????:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[kurth]

19. The male horse

when the President is done playing with him. Or maybe The First Lady comes first.

[ms liberty]

37. the shrubess?

:rofl: :rofl:

Oh Gawd, that is so much better than Pickles!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

edited to add: Welcome to DU! You'll fit in well here!

[gfnrob]

39. Thanks for the welcome.

[lazyriver]

18. "Responsible, Civility and Respect"

OK, who's been teaching her the new words latley?

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. She should say just three things to her dear hubby - GET OUT, LOSER.

[Botany]

21. And people should be careful about making boyfriends hood ornaments.

Get the hell out of my town Laura.

[Marnieworld]

22. Here's a thought Boyfriend killer

Maybe we actually want this rest of the world to know that not all of us agree with your husband, his policies, and his wars of choice? Perhaps it is a good thing to let others know that we aren't all deluded, or indifferent to all of the suffering that his policies have caused? Perhaps just by separating Americans and America from this one group of people and their actions is a good thing for the rest of the world to know.

[Jed Dilligan]

23. They really think they're our fucking parents

"Hush now dear, strangers are listening!"

You, Laura, and you, George are not members of my family, and by that I mean the human family. You have recused yourselves from humanity by your acts of inhumanity. You belong in a cage, not the White House.

Murderess.

[GeorgeGist]

24. "Bring them on"

said Pickles favorite politician.

[fishnfla]

32. "mission accomplished" "stay the course"

words of mass distraction

[spanone]

25. Hey ms. bush*, blow it out your ass.

[sutz12]

26. Yeah, be careful what you say, and don't fly in any small plahes.

:scared:

[unpossibles]

27. so... because we have the right to speak and to protest

we should give up those rights and freedoms people have died for?

[sarge43]

28. Frump sweetie, did this rule apply to

Thomas Dewey, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon or any other Republican candidate during a war?

[Johonny]

29. screw her

Her husband has taken the low road constantly. He started off running for president accusing his republican candidate of having an illegitimate black baby. If she can't take her husband being called stupid, then she better get back to her glass house and load up on stones because it her and her husband that have lowered the discourse not John Kerry.

[July]

40. So has she.

She was trotted out to play innocent while saying that there must be some truth to what the Smearboaters were saying about Kerry, since several of them were saying the same things. Oh, and her Georgie gets criticized, too. She's the acceptable face of the smear gang, and they trot her out whenever they're having trouble getting traction on a smear (along with the First Spawners).

[wisteria]

30. Kerry was criticizing Bush's handling of the war. He has botched it

and he should be held accountable.

[NavyDavy]

43. are you saying Bush or Sen Kerry should be held accountable?

[AIJ Alom]

31. Dear Laurabot Stepford, tell your husband to quit acting like a nit wit.

Maybe just maybe people around the world will stop talking about him. I mean it's one thing to hear what other people say about the man, it's quite another to see the bafoon do it on his own. People in other countries don't only read newspapers, now everyone has the video and audio bytes of every single presidential gaff, error, lie, and sheer stupidity is caught on tape. Perhaps you should watch this file footage too, you may learn something and maybe just maybe, you'll catch on to what Condi's been doing those late nights with your hubby.

[Norquist Nemesis]

33. Was that a warning or a threat?

It seems to me that we would WANT the rest of the world to see differing views and ideas being aired, Mrs. Bush! Isn't that part of what Democracy is all about?

[Beelzebud]

34. Hey Laura "Pickles" Bush: GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[radfringe]

35. psssst... hey laura

it's no secret that your hubby is a freaking idiot... the whole world figured that out about 6 years ago, if not before

[ms liberty]

36. Hey Laura - Bite me, you botoxed bitch...

Oh, and that shithead you're married to? He's guaranteed you'll accompany him on the fast train to hell when your time comes. And you'll be stuck in a small room with him for ALL ETERNITY!

[elehhhhna]

38. Laura's back on the SOMA, huh?

[grasswire]

41. She may get the treatment Hillary got yet

Remember how Hillary was hunted, trashed, vilified, mocked, insulted?

Laura Bush has been spared all that so far. This may be about to change.

Decide now, Laura. Are you with the people, or with the traitors?

[Elidor]

42. None too subtle

"Criticizing the president weakens America! If we exercise our rights too vigorously, we play into the hands of our enemies!" This cult of the imperial president bullshit is plain old fascism.

[Swamp Rat]

44. "Civility and respect???"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[mnhtnbb]

45. Hey, Laura, given that you're married to that lying POS who got us into the war

maybe you should try taking the VP's advice and go F*ck yourself.
