my GOD- did you ever get a good look at the 1st Lady?

[Philosoraptor]

What did she do to her first face to make it LOOK like that, anyway? I mean, I don't know what the president EVER saw in her, those weirdo eyes, that leering grimace, those unattractive lines, is she wandering into Michael Jacksonland? Is it botched, or too much radical facial reconstruction?

Did she finally OD on botox? Is the first lady on meth? I know she does a lot of fine charitable work and helps the president sell the clusterfuck in Iraq but JESUS GOD, I pine for the elegant statuesque features of Mary Lincoln.

1. surgery on her eyes? Noticed it when I first saw her 7 years ago.

35. Laura's bad facelift: she looks like...

[Nitrogenica]

2. I like this one.

[survivor999]

5. Is that Laura?

Looks very different...

[Nitrogenica]

11. That's a wax recreation of Laura

[C_U_L8R]

3. There's a knot of flesh tied up in that hair bun

every morning her assistants
give that thing a good twist
to tighten her up

9. These kinds of posts are despicable

Creating a post about a person's looks is absolute garbage. What kind of person above the age of 5 makes fun of someone because of their looks? I see these posts from time to time and usually ignore them.

But in light of the recent story about the guy saying Hillary was ugly, I just felt compelled to respond and write that anyone who posts about another's appearance should look at themselves first. It's shallow, cruel and makes the people on this board look like jerks.

[MrScorpio]

14. She looks crazy

That's how she looks to me

15. welcome to DU

18. so true, so true

I feel just terrible

not!

[Bluebear]

19. 'makes the people on this board look like jerks' All 80,000 of us.

:eyes:

[Momgonepostal]

22. I have to agree

Certainly there are enough legitimate criticisms to make about the Bush family. We shouldn't have to resort to harping on her looks.

I don't think she's an unattractive lady. She's not the hippest, happeningest dresser in the world, but most moms in their 50's aren't. I think her biggest problem is her taste in men.

That photo is a little weird, but I think it's just a bad photo.

[SoCalDem]

30. She actually looks like a 50-ish woman

:shrug:

It's what's inside her brain that I worry about :)

[Scout1071]

32. I think that is the whole point of this thread.

I'm sure your point was not lost on the original poster. Agree or not, but I think this is a bit of "an eye for lifted eye."

[MzNov]

37. That guy from Chevron. Now THAT was ugly.

what was his name?? The oil guy who retired with 17 zillion bucks?

Neither Hillary nor Laura Bush is ugly. They are both nearing 60 and look fine. No need for anyone to use either of their looks for political purposes. They want face lifts, let'em have face lifts!

:dem:

[Kikosexy2]

17. She looks "stretched" like..

Joan Rivers 100th facelift....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Why should we care what she looks like?

For that matter, why should we care what Candy Crowley looks like? The only thing that's important is what they do. Laura Bush married George; that tells me she's an idiot. Crowley shills for Bush and the other Republican stooges; that tells me she's an idiot, too. If those two looked like Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn I'd still think they were idiots.

Lay off the looks thing, OK? Women, even women I don't like, get way too much shit about how they look as it is.

[Sanity Claws]

7. Laura Bush cares what she looks like

Nature did not do this to her. An overobliging plastic surgeon did this to her. In light of the fact that she puts so much emphasis on her appearance that she went under the knife, I think her appearance is fair game for remarks.

[independentdude]

12. I agree....

we have so much more REALITY to attack and get set straight... this kinda stuff will pull us off "course". <g>

[Catherine Vincent]

27. you're dead, dude.

Independent, my arse! LOL!

[Sanity Claws]

6. She was attractive enough when she was younger

Then she had face lifts. This is not gossip -- it's fact. A woman her age would naturally have some "hooding" in her eyes. This refers to the upper lid sagging a bit -- note she doesn't have it.
I also think she has had a lot of botox. I saw her on a PSA and her face was really weird when she spoke. Only her lips and mouth moved, everything else was frozen.
I think some meds probably also contribute to the weird eyes.

[Bitwit1234]

8. Plastic surgery

She must have had plastic surgery....She was a mess in high school..She looks better now. And she is giving Ann the Man Coulter a run for her money. But since she only had one birth (twins) is she a latent lesbian...You know that's the talk the republicans spew because Hillary only had one child.

[StellaBlue]

10. Am I the first person to not take this post seriously?

But, really, she has lots of fine lines around her mouth because she's been smoking for years.

I used to work at the Texas Governor's Mansion. I know.

[TheWraith]

13. It's Xanax, I think.

Or possibly horse tranqilizers. Only way to keep that Stepfordesque personality running.

[chat_noir]

16. upper lip has been lasered, obviously

She's a smoker, and those tell-tales smoker's vertical lines are obvious in earlier pictures.

[Habibi]

20. Oh, for fuck's sake

Don't get out much, do you? She looks perfectly normal for a well-groomed and wealthy woman her age.

So she doesn't make you tingle. Get the fuck over it, and concentrate on important things. I'm so sick of DUers making much ado about Laura's wrinkles. Gad.

[whosinpower]

21. I agree

Habibi is right. GROW UP PEOPLE.

[Subdivisions]

23. Agreed. I say "Ooo la la!" n/t

[Individualist]

24. Normal??

?v=1&c=MS_GINS&k=2&d=AAAB1D3D22B8F28C55A3508BCF4830A8

That doesn't look normal to me!

[Habibi]

33. Your link didn't take me anywhere

friend.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. The OPer is an idiot

That's clear enough.

[Parche]

25. first dog

I try not to..............

[hedgehog]

26. Oh come on! If she were a Democrat, you'd be praising her looks.

It's one thing to analyze pictures of Bush to attempt to determine his mental state or health status. He certainly does a lot of odd and creepy things. Going after Laura just for how she looks is trivial and makes us all look like Freepers.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

28. Please Grow Up. n/t

[Bonescrat]

29. Jebus I just had a heart attack...

did you have to post it so big?

Seriously though this would go over better in the lounge...

[Bunny]

34. Well, I get it, even if most of the other people here are feeling a swoosh

of air flying over the top of their heads. :thumbsup:

[elehhhhna]

36. Them teefis are Yell-OH! Needs a brow wax, too. Poor thing. Ya Know,

I hear her husband's about to lose his job, too.

38. "The cornflower blue eyes of the truly stupid."

From one of the "Flashman" books. Seems apt.
