improve our image? improve our image? what the fuck good is laura gonna do to quell the hatred and loathing her husband went to so much trouble to install?

now they are suddenly worried about america's IMAGE? maybe they ought to realize it's not our fucking image that matters, it's our policies.

this PROVES the white house is more worried about image than substance. and they lose on both counts.

3. What do you mean "going to"?
Gang violence in America has come to a halt. It's safe to walk the streets in any city at any time. Where there once were hate crimes, there are now acts of compassion. Rap music has been replaced with Pat Boone records. Murderers on death row have found salvation in the pages of "My Pet Goat." This is the language that deranged Muslims will understand.

13. She'll be handing out handfuls of spare Xanax she always has tucked
away for stressful times like these. All the little brown people will be so wigged out on her Xanax that nothing will trouble them at all.

15. Here's how it's SUPPOSED to work:
1. Laura goes to the Mid-East.
2. She is prim, proper, and a good house guest.
3. She lets the foreign public see her in public being a kind, compassionate (subservient) woman.
4. The pubic then forms a positive opinion of her, they like what they see, and thus decide they like her.
5. Up to now, either the foreign public has either disliked her husband or had serious doubts about his credibility..
6. But now, after seeing and hearing Laura, they cut * some slack, figuring, "Well, he can't be all THAT BAD, if he's married to HER."

And she becomes the Jacqueline Kennedy of the Mid-East. In theory.

Personally, I don't think it's gonna work the way they planned it.

17. This is just a feeble attempt
to resurrect Bush`s poll numbers. Problem is, the rest of the world isn`t as gullible as the Bushies think they are.
