Mrs. Bush Endorses Mubarak Election Plan

[shawn703]

First lady Laura Bush on Monday endorsed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's plan for presidential elections as "bold and wise" despite complaints from opposition groups that the voting is designed to keep Mubarak in power.

"I would say that President Mubarak has taken a very bold step. He's taking the first step to open up the elections and I think that's very, very important," Mrs. Bush said. She spent a day in Egypt, much of the time with Egyptian first lady Suzanne Mubarak.

Speaking to reporters in front of the Giza pyramids, Mrs. Bush noted that the United States' democracy also took time to fully develop.

"As you know, you have to be slow as you do each of these steps," Mrs. Bush said. "You know that each step is a small step, that you can't be quick."

1. Ah, yes

Her Xanaxness is now weighing in on heavy matters of global politics. Probably the only adult in the country more ignorant on foreign affairs that *.

What a joke. And who elected her, anyway?

if they were attempting to turn Laura into a political heavyweight like Hillary. That would be a debate I'd like to see.

5. Why is she over there acting as Sec. of State? I thought Condi

was such a charmer.....

If this were Hillary she'd be accused of interfering and overstepping her role as First Lady...

I'm sure the opposition will appreciate this (not)...but, maybe that's the secret plan...inflame the opposition and lead Egypt into chaos...Mubarak is no prize...but if we open up yet another void in the ME...sigh

6. voting is designed to keep Mubarak in power and ...

as a way to pass power to his son when he hangs it up ... sounds like a scam a Bush would support

7. here. have a nice cuppa STFU, laura!

Is there some valid reason why the first lady is attempting diplomacy? how short is the short list of candidates to be sent to repair mideast problems?

apparently very short. anyone who's slept with Bush. So, next week, look for Gannon/Guckert and Victor Ashe to draft a nuclear proliferation treaty with N. Korea.

8. Why isn't Pickles visiting Iraq/Afghanastan and sections of Africa?

She's only visiting countries that feed the bushe's bank accounts.

What a laughable first lady.
