Would you ever condider debating Mrs. Kerry? I guarantee with your class and intelligence, you would win hands down.

Mrs. Laura Bush answered:

Thanks for your kind words, but fortunately, Mrs. Kerry and I don't have to debate. Our husbands will be doing plenty of that. I think the only debating we'll be doing is over who bakes a better cookie! Family Circle magazine is running a contest to see who has the best cookie recipe. Go to www.familycircle.com to vote for my Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies. They are the President's favorite!

1. A good little corporate slut...

Work in the sponsor...What is she, a NASCAR driver???

[lancdem]

2. Laura Bush is no dope

but Teresa Heinz-Kerry would more than hold her own against her.

[proud patriot]

3. Kerry should only agree when bushie

takes John up on his debate challenge
What is laura more of a man than george ?

4. Personally I like a First Lady who has a brain of her own

which is why the idiot freepers could never tolerate Hillary Clinton and I'm sure they'll be just as critical of Theresa Heinz-Kerry. Both women are intelligent and women who can think independantly of their husbands. They are what women want to be today not what women were back in the 1950s.

Not to be critical of Theresa (I adore her), but she probably had someone on that staff give her the recipes. She's running a major chartitable organization, I doubt she has time to be baking cookies to 'please her man'. I think Kerry likes her better for what the Heinz Foundation has done for the environment. How about a contest like that - which First Lady has the best 'recipe' for bettering the environment?

5. Saw this a few days ago.....the whole thing's kinda stupid, BUT...

...all you marketing/design people, is there anything that's supposed to send a 'subliminal message' with the lemon in the tea behind Mrs. Kerry's recipe and the glass of milk behind Mrs. Bush's??? Just curious....

6. Questioner is obviously

a Limbaugh listener. He has been at the forefront in the "Pickles is s-o-o-o classy" campaign. Repubs think Laura is so classy because she sits with her hands folded in her lap with a frozen "I'm completely sedated" look on her face and never voices an opinion. I believe that is why they hate Hillary. She HAS an opinion and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. That rubs the "good ole boy network" the wrong way. They are threatened by Hillary's outspoken ways.

7. Well Laura stole her mother in laws recipe and added cherries ...

:eyes:

I know cause my aunt gave me Bab's Bush's recipe ;)
As much as I hate baked raisins, I voted for the pumpkin cookies. Though, they would be better in the fall? :crazy:

[democrat in Tallahassee]

8. this is so insulting to women; I can't even believe that they are

talking about baking effin cookies. What is this, the 50s?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

20. So True n/t

[wjsander]

9. That's right, Laura! Let the men do the work and the women COOK!

JUST what we need in this country!

Brainwashed psycho. :grr:

[janx]

10. I thought this was going to be a joke from the Onion or something...

I can't believe this is true! I thought we'd gotten away from this kind of thing, finally.

[Torgo Johnson]

11. So a woman's worth is based on ...

how her cookies taste???. Hey George, I wonder what you did with the real Laura Bush before you replaced her with the Stepford robot.

[mr715]

12. God I hate that woman

We went from intelligent, outspoken, strong... to vapid

Laura Bush is a big ol' C word

[Still_Loves_John]

13. This is part of an effort

to make Laura Bush look like a nice, safe, traditional wife and Theresa one of those evil free thinking women. Bleh. This is a campaign to win over white men.

And to the poster who wanted to know about the tea, milk thing, I think thats just because you would eat chocolate chips cookies with milk and spice cookies with tea.

[libertad]

14. They do this every four years. The winner has made it to the White

House since 1992. Tipper Gore submitted a Ginger Snap cookie recipe last time and the Laura-bot submitted a "cowboy cookie" recipe.

[IronLionZion]

28. Hillary doesn't seem like the cookie type

but she did sell a line of cookies in grocery stores.

[Endangered Specie]

15. How about a duel? Laura could not hurt a fly.

House Wife 1.2

16. Golly Gee Willakers Laura

yes we get it - you'd love to just bake your life away, not like that uppity wench Hillary!!! God, we are regressing.:puke:

[dflprincess]

17. This is why I could never be the First Lady

Family Circle would ask for my favorite cookie recipe and I'd have to hand them the directions off a roll of Pillsbury cookie dough.

[mitchum]

18. This whole cookie contest is just so goddamn insulting to women

I can't believe this is still going on in the 21st century

[JVS]

19. I like cookies

I think that making cookies is a good thing for people to do. I think the candidates should make cookies together and that the houses of congress should make candy apples. The supreme court should have a Gingerbread house competition. This would all help lighten up the atmosphere.

[spooky3]

22. LOL! If they're too busy, maybe just the husbands could participate.

I hope Bill Clinton is a good cook, since he doesn't have much to do now.

Really, the cabinet members should also be involved. Who has the flakiest pie crust?

[nolabels]

21. Pickles , just butt out

Instead of trying to insult other people. Why don't you help your husband to learn how to read. That way he can study up on all the people that were killed or injured as a result of the actions Heir AWOL-Fraud and his own criminal mis-administration

[cally]

23. This whole thing annoys me...but from what I've read Teresa

does cook and probably knows many cookie recipes. Laura on the other hand...who knows. So the typical media spin..vapid yes Repub woman is a good nurturing wife. No evidence. Warm, loving, incredibly intelligent, Dem wife who provides cookies to the press does not know how to cook or nurture. :eyes:

[left is right]

24. I be more interested in both candidates recipe for

what my family affectionately calls the "welfare meal" That is the meal that feeds a family of four on just what is in the pantry after the food budget has been spent and the pantry is fairly empty for the pay period. Judging would be based upon: low cost (not exceeding $1/person), nutrition, visual appeal, and taste. Bonus points if the meal is actually fun to eat.
A friend used to make baloney boats for her kids. Fried baloney, (you know how it curls up into a bowl shape)filled with mac and cheese. She then made little sails from constuction paper and toothpicks. Now that was fun food--those kids never knew they were eating "poor" that night

[libertad]

31. Neither of them would have any idea of how to do that!

[left is right]

25. Didn't * claim

that he had given up sweets/desserts while our soldiers were in harm's way?

[Kadie]

26. Did anyone vote for their favorite cookie?

Teresa's Pumpkin Spice Cookie looks good, I will have to try the recipe.

[IronLionZion]

27. I love Teresa but voted for the oatmeal choc chip

because they are quite yummy. I don't beleive I've ever had pumpkin spice but I bet they are good too as long as there's no Heinz ketchup involved.

[Arcturus]

29. Can't view familycircle.com

Says I need to update my browser. Guess they don't like Mozilla there. For shame, for shame!

[DeaconBlues]

30. I heard that their next contest will be for who can press and iron their

husband's shirts the best.
