Stupid question - why is Laura Bush called "Pickles"?

3. I guess pretzel and pickel go well together

And it is harder to choke on a pickel. So, he is safe with her

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. I'm getting the idea that choking on apickle is really the answer

:)

Still need the definitive answer!

[evil_orange_cat]

[BlueEyedSon]

7. OH MY GOD I'M

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

9. HA HA HA HA!!!!

[no_hypocrisy]

11. I think it's *'s nickname for his "lump in the bed".

What a turn-on . . .

[DBoon]

12. I heard it involved massive alcohol consumption

getting "pickled"

[BlueEyedSon]

14. Good one!

[Malva Zebrina]

13. We don't know but that image of a sour faced, sour souled woman

Is embodied in that nickname. It is sour vinegar and it is green.

Here is Betty Bowers inverview with "pickles"

http://www.bettybowers.com/laurabush.html

Keep in mind this woman did not do a damn thing with her life and her degrees but work a couple of years before she met Bush, married him and then dropped out of the work force. Her excuse was that she was staying home to take care of the twins. But she did not have those twins until five years had gone by. For those five years she was a pampered, probably waited on by Mexican hirelings, woman.

She is a lazy women who got rich by marrying Bush. Other wise, she would just be "ordinary" or perhaps even less than ordinary. She is rather dull.

And, Bush has been quoted as saying the poor are poor because they are lazy.

Laura may not have been exactly poor if she kept on working or liked her career enough to keep at it, but it is for sure that she latched on to the wealth without much personal effort. She can never be said to be poor because she is lazy, because she married into wealth and has had a free lazy ride ever since.!!!

It's only the really poor, single moms, who are lazy.

17. short for laura "pickled husband" bush

[hippiegranny]

18. seriously, folks..

i think it is pretzel's knickname for her.

[OneBlueSky]

19. actually, I think it refers to Morey Amsterdam's wife on . . .

the Dick Van Dyke Show . . . she was occasionally referred to, but never seen or heard, and was the butt of a lot of jokes . . .

[Jane Austin]

20. That's what I thought, too.

Didn't we see her once and she was a blond babe?

[Blasphemer]

21. Dick Van Dyke...

I never made the connection but it makes perfect sense. Fits with *'s personality to insult his wife that way.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. Dick Van Dyke - can't anyone - ANYONE - answer this question?

Just a definitive, straight forward answer!!!!

[Piperay]

24. I have heard two more 'serious' reasons

for the nickname, one being that she wears the color green alot and the other being that it's chimp's 'pet' name for her. I really don't know for sure though. :shrug:

[maveric]

25. THE ONLY REASON IS FROM THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW!

The one and only reason. PULLEEZE!

[Piperay]

26. OK...

Thanks, I didn't know that. :hi:

[TankLV]

28. She killed her boyfriend while driving drunk.

Just another sorry-ass bush* drunk who got off scott free, while everyone else is expected to be responsible and pay the maximum penalty, serve the maximum time.

[0rion]

23. lmao!

ibid

[historian]

27. probably the sour expression on her face

wouldnt you feel rancid married to that pile of excrement?
