Crawford mothers brought letters to Laura...

[tinfoilinfor2005]

and they were accepted graciously at the gate, so went the news report. Dropping any sarcasm for the moment, do you think she read any of those letters?

I think if she did, she would be so overwhelmed with emotion that she would have to invite them in for a cup of coffee and a hug, even if she felt she couldn't disagree with her husband on the issues.

1. I am sure the handlers immediately removed them from her hands

And told her to get back inside and bake her cookies. And they probably gave her some extra drug cocktail because she wandered away from the compound.

2. Seriously, the PR people have worked on her image

as the quiet and nurturing wife and mom. It's often said that she is bush's biggest asset. I wonder if they won't have her make some kind of "sweet and loving" comment to keep up this image especially since the letters were addressed to her.

3. Remember "Stay the Course"

She might feel sympathy, but would never be allowed to show it.

6. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see some comment made

on her part (scripted and rescripted by PR of course). Mainly because junior has made himself to look like the uncaring SOB that he is, and it has really hurt the "image".

7. Hmmm....

I bet they are seriously considering sending Laura out to meet with Cindy when she comes back.

Neatly sidesteps the issue, keeps the presidents hands clean, gives the RW an opportunity to say they are compassionate, time for everyone to go home, etc. Touching photos of the two moms for the media.

8. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking.

Time will tell.
