On her goodwill trip to the Middle East last month, first lady Laura Bush (search) said Newsweek should not be solely blamed for the deadly protests that followed its report.

"In the United States if there's a terrible report, people don't riot and kill other people," she said. "And you can't excuse what they did because of the mistake — you know, you can't blame it all on Newsweek."

"We've had terrible happenings that have really, really hurt our image of the United States," she said. "And people in the United States are sick about it."

4. Well there was the riot after the Rodney King Verdict

And we've stormed into the streets more than once in our history - see draft riots, or Chicago or Kent state . So Pickles just shut the fuck up.

5. I guess we should cut her some slack. She's just an ignorant bitch. NT

6. Rodney King came immediately to mind.

Where was Pickles then? Probably being coached by Babs on how to maintain a beautiful mind, or something to that effect.

7. Really? Where the fuck was she in April of 1992?

I seem to remember a rather large riot in Los Angeles.

How about August of 1965? Where was she then?

Hell, for that matter, the battle of Lexington and Concord was a fucking riot. Our nation was formed on a riot.

9. And I seem to remember some unpleasantness in Detroit ...

Hmmm.

8. Yo Pickles!....Your hubby called his attacks on Muslims "A Crusade"

Its pretty much been all downhill from that point.

Newsweek?....Gimme a break, you fucking robot!

10. No, Laura, the sophisticates in the US only riot after their pro team

wins a national championship. We are really too philosophically deep to worry enough about little things like politics and religion to riot.
