Laura Bush laughs, cries with South Korean orphans

ASSOCIATED PRESS


BUSAN, South Korea – Ha-ha, boohoo! First Lady Laura Bush on Friday taught South Korean orphans how Americans laugh and cry with the help of a children's book and kids from a local U.S. Army post.
The orphanage director said her goodwill visit would help stem anti-American sentiment among South Korea's young people.

While her husband, President Bush, pressed his message of greater democracy in Asia and took part in the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum convening here this weekend, Mrs. Bush read to about 25 children at a local library.

"They're crying, see all their tears?" Bush, a former school teacher, said as she pointed to a drawing of children weeping because spices were getting in their eyes.

...

"A lot of young people, some of them have anti-Americanism, but having a chance to meet the president's wife gives them a chance to have friendship between them and the country," Chi said.

1. The Children are crying because Bush took their lunch money

[goclark]

2. Oh Boo hoo, hoo

She was probably crying real tears to have to read a little book to "those children."

What a waste she is,

[Avalux]

3. Where's my barf bag?

What a blantant piece of propoganda. They don't even know who the hell she is and don't care either. :puke:

15. Exactly, note that Gropenfuhrer also made his wife pull one.

Orphanges in foreign countries are popular for repukes sagging in the polls thesse days.

[Bluerthanblue]

4. 'because spices were getting in their eyes."..... oh

god-

would i give anything that the tears of trillions are because of the spice getting in our eyes.

Those aren't tears of weeping- they are your eyes washing out irritants-
Wonder what the laughter was for- watching people fall down and die?

Watching people buy the lies?

friendship is not reading a book at a photo op it is listening, caring and doing things together that enrich each other- not using people for your own ends.

screw miss laura

Let's see her read "The Giving Tree"-

There are real events happening in the world.

9. I hope the book teaches HER how to laugh and cry

Then she can laugh at her husband's idiocy and cry about what he has down to the country right along with the rest of us.

[Submariner]

10. How to cook "My Pet Goat" with "White Phosphorus"

was the tear-jerker story of the Bush pResidency.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. Her husband...

Such as he is, also causes a lot of laughing and crying. Must be a family tradition.

[triguy46]

13. "....some of them have anti-americanism..."

You can catch it? Is that why Pickles has to take her special 'medicine' so often? you know the single malt kind?

[pinniped]

14. Hey, what a coincidence. Gropenfuhrer's wife also visited an orphange,...

but in China.

Obviously it was a concerted effort.

Both turds are making their wives play the "orphange card."

Shanghai -- California first lady Maria Shriver, walking slowly through the nurseries of the Shanghai Children's Home, stopped short at the rows of orphaned toddlers, mostly girls, in identical silver cribs, holding out their tiny arms and calling, "Mama.''

17. Yeah, a sure-fire cure for anti-Americanism.

As soon as these kids are old enough to read a newspaper on their own, they'll figure it out.

18. Meds dosage alert. I see she's a school teacher again - not librarian

for this one. They seem to bring them up as needed.

[Vickers]

20. "a former school teacher"

From her biography at whitehouse.gov

"Inspired by her second grade teacher, she earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Southern Methodist University in 1968. She taught in public schools in Dallas and Houston. In 1973, she earned a master of library science degree from the University of Texas and worked as a public school librarian."

Doesn't say what grades, which schools, etc. She must be real proud of that part. :sarcasm:
