The President also said there is no doubt in his mind that a woman candidate could be president, and the First Lady agreed. Mrs. Bush referenced Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and noted that while she would be a "really good candidate", Rice is not interested in the job.

"Probably because she is single, her parents are no longer living, she's an only child. You need a very supportive family and supportive friends to have this job," the First Lady said.

1. As a woman, normally I find what I'm about to say offensive.. but

MEOW!!!

Wow, Laura. Jealous much?

[Cocoa]

10. notice, the question wasn't even about Condi

Q. Could a woman be president?

A. Yes, except for Condi Rice. Let me elaborate on her pathetic family situation.

16. You just made me laugh out loud. Thank for boiling it down so skillfully.

2. So when Condi finally resigns

she can't say it was to spend more time with her family.

Nice passive-agressive way Laura let's her know that Condi is certainly not part of the Bush family, even if she does thinks the pResident is her husband.

12. Except that Laura looks kind of creepy doing it. n/t

19. that's the one

someone dyed her green for Halloween.

4. translation:

'probably because the republican base will not vote for a single woman (or man) - presidents need to be 100% heterosexual and MARRIED'

[zeemike]

11. Perhaps they could sell her to the fundies as a virgin.

Anything short of that would make here a sinner.

[Chipper Chat]

21. heeeeeeee- yah!

[whistle]

5. I wonder if Condi got Laura's hint?....... Back-off you bitch!

....I see shades of Nancy Reagan coming out in Laura Bush.

7. IMHO Laura knows Rice is Gay

Probably because she is single

While she is older, she is attractive so why else do you not hear about her and her SO...

[JI7]

8. so Condi has no supportive friends ?

[Left Is Write]

17. That's what I took from the statement also.

Laura: Condi doesn't have the loving support of a wonderful family and friends like ******I****** do.

[Maggie_May]

9. What the?

A women can't be successful unless she has a family? Is this Laura Bush for real? Has anyone told her that its 2006? Laura Bush must not have any self confidence if she thinks she needs a family to be successful.

[Cocoa]

13. also, is America ready for an orphan president?

[Shakespeare]

14. Wow. Way to have the Bushies send you an unmistakable message.

"Don't run, Condi." Gee, Condi, all that slavish loyalty really paid off for you, huh.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. The only thing she left out...

was "but Condi's very special to us, bless her heart."

[SoCalDem]

20. "Why..Why she's "almost" like a member of the family"

[Bluebear]

18. Did she add "bless her heart"! (Southern for "f**k her"! :)
