So what is Laura Bush's "urgent message to American women" on

[chelsea0011]

Larry King to night. I saw the blurb running by on CNN and I don't watch Larry King. Since I will miss it, was is that I need to know and go outside to shout out loud for all women to know?

1. Just close your eyes,

smile and go away in your mind to another place. He will be done with you pretty soon. Advice from my grandmother before I got married ;). It fits here better than it did there.

[Jack from Charlotte]

15. Laura: "Brake at stop signs." -*

19. LOL

4. Her message:

It's wonderful to be a Stepford Wife!!!

[Debau2005]

5. Abortion is bad!

Women should be barefoot and pregnant, not in the workforce.
We need more children to supply the workforce of cheap labor for the wealthy.
My husband is not an alcoholic, idiot!

I am sure more will come to me in a minute!

6. Is she gonna talk about Afghanistan again?

Is she gonna let them know that her Chimp's puppets will murder them is they dare to practice religious freedom?

[Bonhomme Richard]

7. It's an update on Chastity Belts. Just so happens that

brother-in-law Neil is starting a new company with headquarters in Bangkok. Barbara gave a donation to her local church earmarking the money to his new belt company.

10. Are they getting a couple for the twins?

I usually don't make jokes about the twins, but I couldn't resist this time, since it's not really at their expense.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. "Don't forget to buy Easter Seals, even if you are a

Christ-killer or a terrorist.

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. "Instruct your servants to not let the water boil dry in the pot."

And "don't let Prince Charles stand behind you in a receiving line."

[sui generis]

12. holy shit she looks possessed

that or she's thinking oh great look who's happened to be standing behind me . . . gawd I hope that squeef wasn't too loud.

[Skittles]

11. in a perfect world: Don't marry an incompetent piece of shit

in this world, it will be some insipid garbage from a Stepford wife

[SoCalDem]

13. Always store your Xanax in a cool dry location

[tanyev]

14. Sorry, Laura. I have more pressing things to do,

like alphabetize my grocery coupons.

[asjr]

16. Going on Larry King is the bottom of

the ladder. Can't she see how she is being used?

[Callalily]

Oh, just wind me up and watch me perform. And yes, you can do it too! :sarcasm:

From Her Lips to His Ear

Dear Laura,

It's time for you to act. Nancy Reagan did it. You can, too.

Things are falling apart. They always do in the second term. And when they do, there's only one person who can change things: the wife. You are the only one who can tell him the truth. You are smart, astute; you're not afraid of him and you love him.

I see you're going on Larry King tonight, and that's a good way to show your support and share your popularity. But your real work is behind the scenes.

....

The biggest problem your husband has now is that so many top Republicans have turned against him. Without the support of his own party, it's pretty much impossible for him to run the country. After the way they went after him over the Dubai ports deal, you can imagine what they are saying about him privately.

Incompetent, unrealistic and insincere were a few of the words circulating at a private dinner recently. Referring to the president's refusal to seek advice on anything -- the war, the economy, foreign policy -- one of the most prominent Republicans in Washington called the situation so dire that he feared "the country would fall apart with another three years of this.".....
