"w" should have sent Laura Bush out to meet Cindy Sheehan

[Fight_n_back]

It would have been the perfect gesture. He isn't a political genius, he is a political thug. He has the subtlety of a Chuck Norris movie.

He could have used this as moment of great leadership and still been the faking, near retarded man-child that 60% of the country has grown to despise.

Perhaps King Karl is too busy packing his bags for a quick flight to Argentina to help him turn this oppurtunity into a winner.

1. I don't agree. He's the person accountable, not Sell-Out

[CelticWinter]

Laura doesnt have the

motherly instincts to talk with Cindy.

[girl gone mad]

2. Send his wife out to fight his battle for him.

I guess it would be fitting since he has a history of sending others out in his place.

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. Yep .. I did a poll on that a few days back about whether or not

he would do that. Obviously he has not, but politically he missed the perfect way to defuse this thing in the media.

Power to Cindy!

[medeak]

4. brilliant! yet all those aides couldn't come up with it. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. If Laura wasn't such a Stepford Wife and had heart, she should be out

there on her own!

[Captain Hilts]

14. Maybe she refused to do it.

But, yes, I thought they would do so.

The administration has had her on a short leash ever since - not long after Jan. 2001 - she was quoted as saying that if she hadn't been married to him she probably wouldn't have voted for him because she was raised to be a Democrat.

We didn't hear a peep out of her for months after that.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. If that's the case, I feel very sorry for her. BTW

Very neat user name! I'm a Yankee fan but Mookie was kind of cool. :)

6. You're right, that would have been brilliant. But

Laura isn't trusted to speak without a script. Imagine her sidling up to another mom, talking about kids and marriage and household things. What would slip out? Bush's affair with Condi? Bush's violent temper? Child or spousal abuse? Plain old whining about Bush's insensitivity?

No one trusts Laura enough.

[kliljedahl]

15. Bush's affair with Condi?

What happened to Jimmy/Jeff?


Keith’s Barbeque Central

[jobycom]

22. She never called him her husband, as far as I know

She did call Bush her husband.

Rumors of an affair started back here in Austin when Condi was tutoring Bush on foreign affairs back in 98.

[rateyes]

7. Laura should back-slap W...

and send him out to meet her, IMHO. She's a mother of twins, of age to enlist and doesn't want them to die for this damned war any more than Cindy wanted to lose Casey...her husband went AWOL when it was his turn to step up---and, then is selected commander-in...I can't even say it.

[Pepperbelly]

8. Chuck Norris is far more subtle.

He's da man.

[aquart]

10. Thank you.

It needed to be said.

[Cleita]

9. Eleanor Roosevelt went and met the Hooverville residents,

those in tents challenging the White House, during The Great Depresssion. She eventually got them what they wanted. I think it would have been a nice gesture by Laura to do so, but really, Cindy is focused on *. He is the warmonger and responsible for Casey's death and the rest of the Americans who have died for his calloused lack of concern.

[Captain Hilts]

17. Eleanor also hand wrote a note to the parents of the Sullivans...

and invited them to the White House.

She didn't have to be asked to do that.

But, then again, her kids were in the fight too, unlike the Bush twins.

[BrklynLiberal]

19. And she was not countering her husband's policies, she was supporting them

[dflprincess]

21. Somehow I don't think sending Laura to talk to Cindy

would have the same impact sending Eleanor to speak to the Bonus Marchers did.

[longship]

28. Laura is no Eleanor Roosevelt!!

'nuf said?

[ScamUSA.Com]

11. Laura or Bush giving the woman a hug, even as a political move

would be the wise thing to do.

wisdom however is the last thing I expect from Bush.

Lately I've been starting to wonder, how is this all going to end?

[antonialee839]

12. Laura didn't send our troops into battle.

My son is in Iraq. He wasn't ordered over there by Laura. I would be insulted if that coward sent his wife out to meet me. Don't mean to rant on you, but I've about had it with this sniveling little thug. Watching him whiz on by Cindy on his way to a fund raiser, of all things, was the epitome of callousness. Not to mention his five week vacation when so many of the troops he claims to care about have died.

[BrklynLiberal]

20. My thoughts exactly as you can see by my post just below yours..

[ScamUSA.Com]

13. btw the lower case "w" is great

hadn't seen that yet

[BrklynLiberal]

16. Why would it have been a good idea to send Laura out to answer a question

that Dim son should have answered? HE's the President..Not her. It was HIS decision to go to war, (supposedly), not hers! Why should his wife have to answer for his decisions?! If I were Cindy Sheehan, I would be pissed as hell if Dimson sent his wife out to answer my questions about why my son was killed in a war that he started!

While it may seem to some as a brilliant move, I would have seen it as the typical move of a little baby boy who was used to hiding behind his mother's skirts, and always having her get him out of the trouble that he got himself into.

If I was Laura Bush I would have told them all to go f**k themselves if they asked me to go out there and talk to Cindy Sheehan.

[Benhurst]

He should have sent out his mother. Barbara Bush exudes

the milk of human kindness. She would have put a new wrinkle or two on the situation. :silly:

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Riiight. The ice-cold, steely hearted Mama Bush who went out to play

golf the day her little daughter died.
That was the role model for Dim son's sociopathic "warm-heartedness".
She could have been Ted Bundy's mother.

[Fight_n_back]

26. Sending her makes it non political

Mother to Mother, woman to woman. Let's leave these silly men out of it and have a good cry kind of thing. If I worked at the White House I would have sent her out to listen and not tell the press ahead of time. Just let her listen and not try and convince Cindy to leave. I would also have Bush tear into the right wing smear machine. It would have been his Sister Souljah moment.

The thing to learn from him, though, is that he goes to his base all the time, every time. No apologies. It keeps him from having really high approval ratings but also gives him a rabid support base. The opposite of Clinton's strategy which was to have most people sorta like him but few love him.

[Generic Other]

18. Better yet, let's ask the mother of the kid Laura killed to come

and sit with Cindy.

I think it's obvious, Bush isn't going to be a man. Don't expect his wife to be.

[Benhurst]

23. LOL!

:rofl:

[BrotherBuzz]

25. Too little too late....

Besides, if she wasn't such a Stepford wife and could connect to another woman as a parent, she would have joined Cindy in the ditch the very first damn day. That said, I think Laura is too damn busy doing her chores, anyway. 'Sweeping the porch' is 'hard work'.
