First Lady Laura Bush said Sunday that she is much more involved in policy than many people think and then went to bat for her husband on children’s health care and foreign policy.

Calling the state children’s health insurance program (SCHIP) “a perfect issue” for Democrats to demagogue on, Bush waded into largely uncharted public territory for her by taking exception to the party that opposes the president.

“The fact is I’ve been involved for a long time in policy, and I think I just didn’t get a lot of coverage on it,” Bush said. “I was stereotyped as being a certain way because I was a librarian and a teacher…which are considered traditional women’s careers.”

She sidestepped a question about whether she weighs in on the president’s policies toward Iraq and Iran, shifting the focus back to Africa and Burma.

Amazing. What policies do you think were hers so far?

Next thing you know, she'll be running for the Senate from some safe red state.

I don't think the country can survive 28 years of Bush/Clinton.

13. 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. Claiming that she is a Private Citizen is as bogus as her phony public persona. 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.

10. If this is true

then she is even more of a twit than I originally thought.

Memo to Laura: Stop taking credit for your husband's fucked up and crappy policies. Makes you even more of a loser stepford wife than I thought.

[C_U_L8R]

12. note to Pickles... it's not really something to be proud of

14. Psst! Laura. Every policy enacted by the Bush administration has been a disaster.

Do you really want to tie yourself to that sinking ship?

[KitchenWitch]

18. But the lifeboats are for Women and Children first...

[flordehinojos]

15. God only knows whether this is a case of: liar, liar, pants on fire. Or,

whether "policy involvement" for laura means "lying her ass for bush anytime he meets with criticism and opposition, therefore, enabling and continuing the bushit theme of rescuing the sociopath any time he encounters trouble on the waterfront. err... i mean the homeland.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]
