Pickles Pic: not presenting her best side.

[partylessinOhio]

U.S. President George W. Bush and his wife Laura board Air Force One after leaving
the G8 summit in Heiligendamm at the airport in Rostock, Germany, Friday, June 7, 2007.

This was not the best outfit in which to board a plane with a long stairway. Pickles should remember that cameras will get her from various angles and this one is NOT flattering. Those short jackets and the wedgies need to go.

[mnhtnbb]

1. Too many beers at the G8!

[babylonsister]

2. What should she have worn to walk up stairs? nt

[MNDemNY]

5. A burka.

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The camera never lies :D

[MemphisTiger]

6. Unfortunatly the first lady is judged on here appearence at events

this outfit is horrible. She needs a makeover on TLC or something.

[partylessinOhio]

8. Longer jacket, looser pants or a dress, suit or skirt of proper length.

IOW, clothing that does not silhouette the exact shape of one's body.

[Captain Hilts]

58. The "feminine drape" is not very flattering to most women. Ironic, ain't it? nt

[Waya]

3. Yikes!

:eyes:

[CottonBear]

4. She needs a properly fitted jacket and wide legged, lower rise trousers.

Can you tell I watch "What Not to Wear"?

[hlthe2b]

7. While I sympathize with those who feel criticizing Laura's looks

and certainly dress should be off-bounds, the fact is she has all the money and access to all the advice anyone could possibly want to dress in a manner that is flattering.

So, I feel no compunction not to cricize her extremely bad choices.

[louis-t]

9. Overly picky.

Besides her obvious lack of taste, not too bad for a 60 year old woman. Too bad that body is attached to a stepford creature.

[Kurovski]

12. She actually is in good shape.

Not that we're supposed to notice and comment on such things.

The DU "Feminandos" can't be too far behind this thread.

[Kurovski]

10. The pic and a quick glance at your name, and I thought it read

"pantylessinOhio". :D

The camera caught her at a bad moment, I think. Photo editors are being merciless toward BushCo these days.

Jacket seems a little tight, though.

[roguevalley]

11. my dad always walked behind my mom to make sure she was

okay. this man is a swine.

[Kurovski]

18. I think George and Laura are splitsville.

And George is pretty much clueless about the existence of other human beings in the world, including those in his immediate vicinity.

[Swamp Rat]

30. Except for Jeff..

:D

[Kurovski]

35. Maybe when he's doing the do with Jeff,

he's fantasizing about himself. :hi:

[ProgressiveFool]

73. Seriously there seems to be something wrong there

They should be walking together, if not arm-in-arm, at least closer together and in the same direction. As it is, it looks rushed, like they're being hounded out of Germany. Which may well be the case, of course.

[PsN2Wind]

13. Her pants are a bit snug

but not what I would call a wedgie.

[partylessinOhio]

24. The wedgies are the shoes - wedge heeled shoes.

Sorry, I would never be that descriptive about the tight pants.

:shrug:

[Kurovski]

31. "Pegged", I think is how to describe pants that are snug at the ankle.

[PsN2Wind]

32. Yeah, I know

but I couldn't help myself.

[Kurovski]

38. LOL!

I'm extra slow today. :D

[Totally Committed]

14. Should Hillary succeed in becoming POTUS, it'll be interesting to see

how Bill's looks and attire are treated.

That having been said, I do want to say that I think Laura's "look" is very carefully calculated to mirror middle America's own women, so as to make her look like one of them instead of outshining them in any way. I think she looks this way deliberately.

TC

[RobinA]

49. Maybe....

But I wish she'd set a good example to middle-aged women, in fact to ALL women, that peg-legs only make your butt look bigger and should be banned for anyone over the age of 12.

[Bucky]

15. OMGz! She has the ass of a 55 year old woman!

You're a real dumbass.
.

[Aristus]

17. Oh eew! She's got mom-butt.

Do some running and lunges, Pickles; mom-butt is curable.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. She's like 61 or 62 years old

She's earned a right to have mom-butt.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Sorry but she is old enough to be my mom and is in better shape than me. No dis here.

[Dhalgren]

20. Was the Paris Hilton topic all used up?

Who cares what Pickles wears? "Her butt's too big!" "Her butt's too flat!" "Her hair looks funny!" Jesus christ! Two teenage girls were raped by Marine recruiters and the US government paid them $200,000 to shut up and go away. The recruiters were reprimanded and demoted. Demoted! Sorry there are things that are going on that strike me as more important than the shape or size of Laura Bush's ass. Sorry, the rant just popped out...

[Kurovski]

25. They took the $200, 000?

[Dhalgren]

39. I am not sure if they have agreed to the "deal" yet.

[Kurovski]

41. The govt. "tried", then?

The post says "paid them", which is stating that they already accepted the "deal".

[Dhalgren]

42. Here you go. It is a done deal. Here's the link:

http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,138437,00.h...

[Kurovski]

46. Thanks. The link is not to a story, but I'll look for it during my news hunt today.

Sounds like an ugly story. Thanks again. :hi:

[Dhalgren]

51. Sorry! I must have screwed it up!

But it is in there somewhere! :hi:

[Kurovski]

64. Found it.

'...raped during a slumber party at a Ukiah recruiting office."

And a slumber party is an officialy sanctioned event for recruitment purposes? What the hell kind of crap is that. And they were 17 years old.

"Even though I think this is a bunch of hush money and the Marines failed to acknowledge their involvement, we encourage all other women to join us and stand up and fight against this kind of behavior in the military or anywhere else," the woman, now a college student, told the AP in an interview Thursday.

http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,138437,00.html

You were right, it's an important story for a number of reasons.

[madrchsod]

21. actually that`s one of the better outfits she has worn

granted it really does`t flatter her at all at least it`s not a early 60`s pant suit or dress or a formal gown made out of drapery material

[Hamlette]

22. Oh for God's sake STOP IT.

there I said it.

I HATE these posts complaining about how women/republicans look.

We complain about the MSM talking about Paris Hilton all day and we post shit like this?

Trust me, no flipping difference. Drivel. Shallow, hollow, drivel.

[Beaverhausen]

27. AMEN!!! I can't believe this thread

At the very least it belongs in the lounge...

[Kurovski]

28. Can't stop the tide.

Can't stop human behavior.

But of course, you can try.

Paris Hilton is not "officially" representing our nation in the world.

[Captain Hilts]

60. Sexist, shallow, hollow, drivel. nt

[Hamlette]

65. thank you! I forgot sexist. My bad. n/t

[Kurovski]

67. Also...delicious, soul-satisfying, stress-releasing gossip.

Petty, but fun for some of us.

The ENTIRE Bush administration and their supporters get the treatment.

[Warpy]

23. The short jacket and wedgies weren't the sin

The sin is those tapered pants. What was she thinking?

Nothing makes your arse look bigger than tapered leg pants. The only women who can wear those have NO butts to speak of.

Other than that, she looks fine. Her butt isn't that big, and she looks damned good for her age.

[pacalo]

43. Fashion Alert: Short jackets are very "in" but I had no idea tapered pants

were still being manufactured. Tapered pants flatter no one, because as you said, they enhance the size of the arse.

The pants seem to be linen, which is "in" right now, & I'm guessing that she may have requested that they be tapered.

[BlueStater]

26. She doesn't have a best side n/t

[Perky]

29. Are you really that bored????????

[Cleita]

33. Her fashion sense is non-existent. We already know that, but

is she wearing an adult diaper or is it a really bad fitting girdle? Frankly, I don't think Pickles gives much of a damn about her position as First Lady. Years from now we will read in her memoirs about how much she hated it.

[Kurovski]

40. I agree about her hating being in Washington.

I have some sympathy for her about that. It may be misguided, but there it is.

[Cleita]

52. I don't have much sympathy for her, because even though she

may hate it, fate threw this in her lap and she should be making the best of it if for no other reason patriotism for her country. I don't think Jackie Kennedy liked being First Lady but she accepted her responsibility and became the best First Lady that she knew how to be and what a First Lady that was. It was her influence that brought Camelot to stuffy, stodgy Washington and made her loved throughout the world for her sytle and elegance kind of like Princess Diana, whom I read wasn't that happy with what her lot in life as Princess dealt with, yet she did her duty to the best of her ability. Laura gives off vibes that she doesn't give a shit and is going to put out the least effort in her role until it's over with.

[Captain Hilts]

61. Actually, Jackie used to bail on events and they'd call in Ethel to do them.

No, she didn't like it - or the title 'First Lady' - one bit. She thought the title sounded like the name of a racehorse.

[Cleita]

63. At least she called in a sub. I don't think Pickles even does that.

The only time I ever saw Pickles put herself out was for the Queen. Maybe she thought she could fix the twins up with William and Harry. (Just kidding!)

[slj0101]

34. The First Badonkadonk.

[Catherine Vincent]

36. And freepers have the nerve to talk about Hillary's back side.

LOL!

[Tracer]

48. Frankly, Hillary has what a guy friend of mine calls ...

... "Thunder Thighs".

:hide:

[americanstranger]

37. The pair of them look as though the can barely keep their balance.

And I notice that in not some, but most pictures I see of them. They always seem to be contorted into weird poses all the time.

Must be the Lizard Brains. Yeah, that's it.

- as

[pacalo]

45. The boy king seems to be looking for at least ONE person to bid them farewell.

[NRaleighLiberal]

47. Not pickles...more like Pumpkins! nt

[Ezlivin]

50. Yeah, but that's not the woman Bush is having sex with

You should see what Condi's not wearing.

[BuyingThyme]

53. Why are they walking backwards?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

54. her jacket looks too small?

[demnan]

55. I don't care about her plump middle-aged bottom

her husband is what really needs to go!

[Kurovski]

69. The fathead.

Absolutely.

[RB TexLa]

56. Another reason to stop Fred Thompson

all the threads from the same people badmouthing how Laura Bush looks all of a sudden saying Jeri is too stylish and not serious enough to have her picture taken.

And BTW, Laura looks perfectly fine for a 60 year old woman. There are 60 year olds who look better and ones who look worse. What she wears is part of a political statement. I really don't see anything wrong with her outfit.

[Captain Hilts]

57. A sexist cheap shot. nt

[SarahB]

59. That's sexist crap.

Besides, she's almost 60 years old and that's not a bad butt anyway. Geesh. :eyes:

[wicket]

68. Amen

My ass is probably twice that size :crazy:

[Stinky The Clown]

62. I never thought she had a 'best side'.

[nini]

66. Who cares?

it's the idiot next to her that's the problem.

[Kurovski]

72. You mean the ass walking next to her?

Mr Pretzeldent?

[nini]

74. Yep.. .the ass next to her

;-)

[ThomWV]

70. Ya know how when you get on a plane and you have to sit next to an idiot?

How it pisses you off ....

[OnionPatch]

71. I don't think she looks that bad

There aren't any obvious bulges protruding anywhere. She definitely has the "apple butt" but yeesh, why do women always have to appear PERFECT. Sorry, but I just get sick of it. She has a body and it's not perfect. So what?! For an old broad she looks great.

Now I might criticize her choice of husband....
