Laura Bush is suggesting she, her husband, and several aides were poisoned during a 2007 visit to Germany for the G8 summit -- one of several new details in the former first lady's forthcoming memoir, "Spoken from the Heart."

Due to be released May 4 but acquired early by The New York Times, Mrs. Bush says she and former President George W. Bush became mysteriously sick on the Germany trip to such a degree that the president became bedridden. According to Mrs. Bush, doctors and the Secret Service investigated the possibility that a poisoning had occurred but were unable to make a definitive conclusion.

News reports filed during the event show that the White House did disclose that Bush missed a series of morning sessions at the summit because he had contracted an apparent virus, but White House officials did not provide further details at the time.

"We never learned if any other delegations became ill, or if ours, mysteriously, was the only one," Mrs. Bush writes in the new book, according to the New York Times excerpts.

15. What an idiot Bush is. He couldn't even pour beer correctly. It overflowed all over the table!

Every time I think Bush is the stupidest person on earth he outdoes himself with something even more stupid. No sober person would ever pour a drink like Bush did in that video. He must have been wasted by the time he got to that beer. He even looks like he is physically impaired from the booze he was drinking.

9. There were no peasants available.

They were all in the arena at the Colliseum.

5. alcohol poisoning is real. They did it to themselves.

Unless of course, Merkle was sooo upset that * touched her, she couldn't help herself.

11. So is food poisoning.

They're the ones who fired all the inspectors to prevent regulation enforcement. And to find more money for their illegal wars.

Bet they ate food brought specially from home so they wouldn't have to eat that foreign stuff.

7. Because bushes are too 'mportant to get the flu.

:eyes:

8. The last thing any country would want

is for a foreign leader to die on their soil! And two of them, by poisoning?

That's obvious, detectable, and Germany would be directly at fault.

Raging case of paranoia by the sound of it.

10. (VIDEO) Was that the G8 where Bush tried to give Chancellor Merkel a back massage?!

Here

What a fucking douche.

13. Probably just an allergy shared by Dubya, Pickles and their staff.

They're all allergic to civilized conduct, for example.

Was George "poisoned" in China at the Olympics? He sure looked falling down "poisoned."

14. It would have been great to hear her thoughts about letters filled with antrax being...

sent all round their little DC getaway - "Bush missed a series of morning sessions at the summit because he had contracted an apparent virus" well, maybe he was nervous having to face the world he was destroying, maybe he was just nervous - improper diet & being too nervous can stack your crap like little black twigs and will make you shit sideways,

:hurts:

Maybe he just had a tummy ache. His dad is quite the overseas vomiteer, it may run the in Bush family like a gene-thing

Cause some people's experience with being poisoned is a forever-thing, and not just a case of morning sickness


Well no, these are serious matters which is part of why we should pull all our money out of Lockheed-Martin and dump it into Maalox

[Bluebear]

16. Wasn't that the trip that that loser was filmed drinking alcohol?

There's your "poison", Pickles.

[foxfeet]

17. It probably would have been more effective just to throw a bucket of water on them both.

[WeDidIt]

18. Most likely, somebody on AF1 had stomach flu

and gave ti to every body else.

[political_Dem]

19. I don't believe it. They always looked intoxicated on camera.

However, Laura was able to hold it better than her ill-begotten husband.

20. Damn right it was poison! Why, those Germans...

...they'll always get revenge for unwanted backrubs!

[The Damned]

21. How does that explain Dubya's behavior BEFORE 2007?

:wtf:

[Spirochete]

22. That would have required

a substance more poisonous than Bush himself, and I'm not sure one exists...
