Laura Bush shares her fitness routine on TV
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/redir.php?jid=4c90451026e1064f&cat=a1e025da3c02ca7c

First, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lifted weights on television. Now it's the first lady's turn to show off her workout.


Laura Bush, who has traveled the country speaking about women's heart health and childhood obesity, appears on Washington's NBC4 TV today and Thursday to illustrate her healthy ways.

It starts with walking (about 45 minutes a day, early in the morning), usually around the oval on the South Lawn of the White House. Sometimes she takes a friend and a security detail and walks off the White House grounds, on the National Mall, says WRC-TV morning anchor Barbara Harrison, who had also interviewed Rice
snip...

She told Harrison her fitness routine began after she married George W. Bush, whom she calls "a natural athlete."

"I was shamed into starting to exercise," she said
more...

George the guy who falls and rides his bike into bobbies... "is a natural athlete"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

26. I have heard that the more expensive designers size a little more, uh,
generously. About 2 sizes, in fact. So if one can afford to wear those clothes all the time, one also gets a complimentary ego massage.

40. She's an 8??? No way. Sounds like that vanity sizing for the rich
but usually, I'd say she's pusing size 14. She's a broad hipped woman naturally, it appears. Size 8??? Is that the vanity sizing I've been hearing so much about lately? Normally, I'd never comment on a woman's size, but when they obviously lie about it..

natural athlete who put a cop into the hospital for 12 WEEKS by running him over on a bike. who choked on a pretzel and bruised his face... who hit his head exiting flight craft... who fell down a hill on a bike... who blew out his knee running from nothing... who is a natural-born fattie just like his mom.

37. Is it a fact that she smokes? She has those "pucker" type wrinkles...
around her mouth like smokers get but have never read or seen a ling about her being a smoker. Makes sense however, because I saw a picture of Jena or not-Jena smoking.

34. Those 'Muricans who work two and three jobs, ya know, uniquely
'Murican,:eyes: don't have time to exercise. But then Privileged Pickles probably doesn't worry her beautiful minds over such problems of the working class. I'm really sick and tired of Pickles and Pinhead's fake concern of the American people, who bust their butts everyday just to keep from drowning in all the crap from the Greedy repukes and the BFEE.

38. Exactly-the first lady usually advocates causes of some sort or another
I don't hate Laura. Female heart attacks are becoming a serious problem and if by talking about it on the Today show, Laura can help one woman avoid having one, or recognize her symptoms early, than she's done a good thing.

Really, if W and Laura were my neighbors and he was a businessman or something, I probably wouldn't hate either one of them. Considering my neighbors look and act like the Osbournes, the Bushes would be an improvement. After all, no one is looking for either of the twins for attempted murder (possession of a dealer quantity of X is attempted muder under Michgian law)like the Warren police are for my neighbor's kid. From what I understand, W and Laura don't knock each other around and don't need 3 squad cars to come and split up a bad domestic argument.

35. time for a status report
on that major responsibility. That was truly a surreal moment. When her husband said he "could think of no one more qualified" to stop gang violence.
Well, I sure HE couldn't think of anyone more qualified. He can barely think.
And since that appointment? Crickets. Just like Cheney, pre 9-11, being appointed to lead the investigation into terrorism against the U.S.
His committee met.....never.
How can any rational person support this administration?

39. "shamed into starting to exercise" That jumps out at me..
How many stories and comments have we heard straight from Bush's wife and daughters that include some sort of ridicule toward Laura? The daughters talked during the campaign about how the three of them gang up on Laura and make fun of her because she's so square. Then there are reports from a former housekeeper that George is abusive toward Laura. He also grabs onto her neck like she's a prized cattle, not a loving spouse who deserves respect. If Laura ever wakes up from her victim stupor, she might actually be an interesting woman. And if she didn't look so stoned all the time, she might actually be pretty.

As far as fitness or beauty tips from either of those ladies.... no thanks.

Chimp is not a natural athlete and never competed anywhere in his mediocre life. He is a gym rat who can do dumbo, rote, mindless repetitive routines and nothing more.
