Laura Bush will be filming an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition segment

TV Show May Help Both Bush, Victims Recover
'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' episode will feature the first lady at a Mississippi shelter.

By Faye Fiore, Times Staff Writer


Laura Bush will travel to storm-damaged Biloxi, Miss., to film a spot on the feel-good, wish-granting hit "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." Mrs. Bush sought to be on the program because she shares the "same principles" that the producers hold, her press secretary said.

Can anyone recommend a good shrub remover? They're on TV as much as commercials and I so hate those. They think this will help Bush??? How many ways can we say "Give me a break!"

3. Perfect. That's the most insipid, pandering, phony show on TV
(other than Fox News). She'd be perfect for it. In fact she should be the regular host.

5. Laura isn't fit to host a tea party
Nor is she fit to be called human.

Xanax Queen needs to go back to making doilies and left public appearances to those who can actually put a thought together. . .like. . .hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??? No, I guess all Republicans need to go back to doing whatever they do since none of them can do that.

4. My beloved and her mom LOVE this show. I enjoy watching it, too
but they DIG it completely.

And they detest the Bushies as much as I do.

I wonder what this will do to their adoration of the show. Whether they'll keep watching, but skip this one episode, or whether they'll boycott altogether.

OTOH, no matter who was in the WH, this show would probably do an episode w/ the First Lady. It's that kind of show; it was inevitable.

6. I loved the MadTV spoof of it
"and she's hard of hearing, and, and, and she ain't got no lips!"

(cut scene: house built in the shape of a large teapot)

9. The show has done much good for some of the folks
that I have seen on TV. if this is the one I am thinking of where surgeons and dentists and trainers aid someone who culd never afford it.

Pre-Katrina this may have worked, but at the moment food and shelter should be pickles' concern, not Botox. Just MHO.

13. This isn't the plastic surgery show -- this is the renovate the home/build
a new home show. People whose houses are falling apart, or killing them (i.e., allergic kid/mold), or burned down, or a spouse has died and taken away income, etc., etc. They often pay off the mortgage and/or put the kids through school and/or other big stuff, too.

7. Folks need jobs not face lifts.
I think that make overs should wait until every single displaced American man and woman has a job- if they want and can handle one.

We need an economic make over.

14. will she also be checking NOLA homes for dead bodies?
as floodwaters recede, somebody needs to collect the dead. It might as well be Miss Pickles.
