Wife still hopeful Bush will be a ‘popular’ Prez

<snip>Asked about the controversy surrounding ill-treatment of terror detainees in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, Bush claimed that all was not that bad.

“Of course if you want to slander America, you can look at it one way. But... if you go down to Guantanamo and take a look at how these prisoners are treated -- and they’re working it through our court systems. We are a land of law.” Asked about the recent US Supreme Court ruling that Guantanamo prisoners have the right to challenge their detention in civilian courts, Bush said: “It is, and I accept their verdict.

“I don’t agree with their verdict. And it’s not what I was doing down there. This was a law passed by our United States Congress that I worked with the Congress to get passed and sign into law.” “... we certainly wish Abu Ghraib hadn’t happened, but that should not reflect America. This was the actions of some soldiers. That doesn’t show the heart and soul of America,” Bush said.

3. This is Pickles on drugs
She's living proof that drugs are bad. On the other hand, if she went straight, she'd run to that gas oven and kill anyone who tried to keep her head out of it.

6. Laura Bush is a self centered phony.
She presents a fake persona for the public that the Corp Media promotes. She is, in reality, a mean spirited, selfish, arrogant, ignorant person just like her husband. She has promoted RWing causes such as Anti-Stem Cell Funding and has campaigned for RW Candidates. She champions causes such as Women's Rights in Afghanistan and schools for Iraqis and Afghans but it is merely lip service because she does nothing about these causes nor does she contribute any of her own money towards them. Laura Bush is a vapid, phony person and should be shunned yet she remains popular with the millions in America because the Corp Media goes along with her charade.

7. Yeah, but was she the victim or the perpetrator?

Perp, I guess, given that murder's one of the activities.

I wonder if she used her car again?
