Hillary and Laura set to take battle of dynasties back to White House

I don't know whether to :rofl: or :puke:

The last four paragraphs in the article:

"But this particular drama may have more episodes to run. It is not just that speculation is at fever pitch that Hillary will try to secure a second term in the Senate next year and will almost certainly then run for the presidency in 2008. There is also this: what about a third President Bush? Or, to be more precise, what about President Laura Bush?

The gossip about Hillary is far from ludicrous. Unlike when she ran in New York in 2000, she is keeping options open for 2008. Meanwhile, a CNN-USA Today poll issued last week showed a majoritysaying they would vote for her if she makes a run for the White House.

The Laura stories are a bit harder to take seriously. It is true, though, that recent weeks have seen her taking an unusually high profile - wowing the audience at a White House press dinner with well-aimed jokes and representing her husband on a tour last month of the Middle East. We also know that the first lady is popular with voters, although very few of them.

That, apparently, is not beyond the imagination of everyone. Thus it was that a few nights ago Lynne Cheney, the wife of the Vice-President, made a surprising remark in an interview with CNN's Larry King. "You know, people are thinking of Mrs Clinton running for president. I think Mrs Bush ought to run for president," she said. "If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."



I did laugh at the last sentence of the next to last paragraph: "We also know that the first lady is popular with voters, although very few of them."

1. God, this reminds me of those wild days where everyone talked about...

JOEMENTUM

2. I am no Laura Bush basher

but just what qualifications does this woman have to be President? Hillary Clinton can make a case for herself. I hope we go with someone else but she at least is qualified. But Laura Bush?

[Gyre]

11. Yeah, she's qualified like the chimp and ronnie raygun

were qualified. Apparently, shit for brains is a visible asset in that contest. Oh...Ahhhhnold. We're in for some real trouble then.

3. Ooooh! A cat fight!

Hillary will yank Laura's carefully coiffured hair, and Laura will poke Hillary's beady eyes.

Shall we put them in dominatrix outfits?

TV ratings will soar! Let's bring our political discourse, which has been rather wanting lately, to the same level as the Jacko puppet show.

4. And then there is Condi and Boxer . . .

I'm sure they will have a part in the battle of the women.

5. Sometimes suicide doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

I'd rather die than live through the horror show that this would be. Thankfully it will never happen and I can go on. I shudder at the very thought.

kill me first, then do yourself.

6. The mediawhores attempt to diminish Hillary by equating her to Pickles.

Forget about the intelligence quotient.

[lonestarnot]

7. The first twit isn't popular in this household! Hold the line! Drawn

down. Her face would stop a 9 day clock! Plastic grin'n from ear to ear is about all she knows how to do and her clothing looks like maw kettle handme downs. She's just another embarassment to the country.

10. Welcome to DU Old_Fart

Lots of folks welcomed me here, you get to be the first one I welcome here. btw: If you feel our president needs to be impeached there are plenty of links for you to click on in our posts. You are encouraged to do just that. Mine is only one example. :patriot:

[Old_Fart]

13. Chimpy needs to be more than impeached

Thank you for welcoming me.

[chknltl]

14. first things first

I absolutely agree. I can't wait to see him in his bvds in a cell awaiting an international tribunal for his crimes against humanity.
A deck of cards with his whole administration and supporting cast of neocons would be nice too. hmmm... there are folks here in the DU quite capable of producing that deck if it hasn't already been done. Think I will drop a hint or 2. Please don't forget to click those links and vote today. Mine is just one of many, check around.

[Old_Fart]

16. What links?

I have trouble finding my way around on the Internet.

[chknltl]

19. In my post box

On my screen they appear in purple or red. Mine is just below this entry. It is for Rep. Conyers who is leading the charge to impeach Bush for telling lies to congress and the American people. I put mine there as a reminder to folks who may have missed things while off on Holiday. Gotta go walk the pups, so enjoy DU, there are some REALLY SMART folks here. Much to soak up. I am still new here as well but if I do this right the link will appear below the smilies with their flags please check it out:

12. CNN announces: Bush/Cheney in '08

I posted this earlier in a related thread. Earlier today CNN speculated on Laura and Lynn going for it. They even had a button!
I wonder if faux has picked up on this yet. Nope not gonna look!!!

[Old_Fart]

18. What do they have to offer to the USA?

I almost forgot that they are figureheads for the corporations. I can't take another four years after the Chimp. I don't want to leave the USA either but if the Joker gets in I will be swimming across to free country like Russia.

15. Remember Governor Wallace, of I believe Alabama?

When he couldn't run anymore, because someone shot him and left him paralyzed, at least I think that is why, he put his wife Lurlene (not sure of the name) up to run for governor and she won. It was well known that Wallace was only extending his governorship because everyone knew Lurlene was an airhead and she would be only a figurehead for Wallace.

17. ha ha isn't lynne funny

A chance to use the popcorn smilie

:popcorn:




hey I wonder how many neocons can you fit in a little bitty car?
