Hey, Laura Bush....You're not our queen!

[Ravenseye]

Seriously, did anyone notice how she not only didn't stand for Stephen Colbert at the end of his speech last night, but didn't even offer her hand? Everyone else did, the President etc. She just sat there said something (i'm not a lip reader) and didn't even offer her hand.

I'm sorry but that's FAR more rude than anything Colbert said at the podium.

Someone should tell the Bush women that they're not our royalty.

1. Compare her with Helen Thomas.

Helen is almost twice Laura's age, yet sprang up immediately to shake Colbert's hand.

[Ravenseye]

6. She's friendly at least

The true mark of a person's manners isn't how well they behave with someone they like, but how well they behave with someone they don't. Helen Thomas obviously knew Colbert already from making that film, and perhaps before. I"m not sure if she's been on his show. I think she may have been.

I'm sure if the keynote speaker was someone Laura Bush knew or liked, she would have sprang up and hugged and kissed him as well.

No, the true mark of manners and not thinking of yourself as a royal is how you react to those you disagree with or don't know. I"m sure if it was say Bill O'Reilly up there, she would have stood and shook his hand, and so would have Helen Thomas. That's the difference. Ms. Thomas gives respect to everyone, even those she disagrees with.

Mrs. Bush think's she above reproach and better than others.

13. I loved that! She even kissed him!!!! Helen Thomas totally rocks! :)

[JNelson6563]

17. Yes, that was VERY sweet

and his smile for her was wonderful. A nice moment I'm glad was caught on film.

:toast:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

19. Yes, his affection for her was beautiful! Big grin here remembering it!

:toast:

2. What else would you expect from a murderer?

I'm sure she's plotting Stephen's demise right now--after all, they say once you kill, the second time is much easier.

[Ravenseye]

7. You really think this would only be the second time? (nt)

[joeybee12]

9. True, we're probably into double digits, which means poor Stephen

won't make it through the day!!!!!!!!

[valerief]

3. Ah, leave Pickles alone. I'm sure she must be heavily medicated. n/t

[shenmue]

4. You forget...

the B***es are all sociopaths, with no human feelings or conscience, thus cannot laugh.

[babylonsister]

5. She's taken lessons from Babs. But that just goes to show

what Colbert said hit real close to home!

[dogday]

8. Stand hell, she would not even greet

him the way I saw it.... She is just being a beotch....

[YDogg]

10. Typical ill mannered behavior.

[dipsydoodle]

11. May have been

the weight of her bum tying her down to the seat.

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. She had the same puss on

that she had at Coretta Scott King's funeral.

Pickles has about as much social grace as a mound of turds and is certainly less useful.

[notadmblnd]

14. she was probably just strung out on Xanax again

nt

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

16. I take Xanax. Doesn't make me strung out or impolite.

It's not an excuse for poor manners. It's simply for anti-anxiety. Now, if you mix it w/ alcohol, which I don't, I can't say what kind of irrational behavior would overcome Pickles.

[ProgressivePatriot]

15. Bush women....

are ingrates, murderers, drunks and whores.

[johnnie]

18. Maybe her battery pack was getting weak

:shrug:

[newsguyatl]

20. all the bush women have

a sense of entitlement.

they're rude and wouldn't know grace if it was thrown in their fat faces.

[Cha]

21. Where's that picture of sour pickles

when the Reverend was speaking at Corretta Scott King's funeral?

[Sydnie]

22. Perhaps it just occured to her that she had been photographed

wearing that dress before!




Perhaps this dress will be used in much the same way as his "shirtsleeve blue shirt" has come to be ... wear it all the time and it looks like it's the same day forever.

edit because I put the same photo twice .. d'oh!
