AP: Laura Bush Stands by Her Man
SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Out on the campaign trail raising re-election cash and promoting reading, Laura Bush is staunchly defending her husband's credibility and taking a shot at Democrats who claim he skipped out on his National Guard duty.


"I think it's a political, you know, witch hunt, actually, on the part of Democrats," the first lady said in an interview with The Associated Press.


The president served in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War and did report for duty in Alabama where he was briefly assigned, Mrs. Bush said.


"He knows that he served honorably," she said. "He knows that he showed up the whole time."

29. It's that Vast Left Wing Conspiracy
You know the one....that Colin Powell's son in the FCC is helping along.

They're picking on my wittle Georgy! No Laura is ain't a witch hunt, it's the condemnation of a pathological lier, who possesses no credibility and takes no account for the results of his lies. If one does not want to be called on lies then one should not lie.

2. ms stepford....
"You know, I'm the one who has seen him up close and can tell people what he's like," she said, sitting on a couch in a private section of the plane and sipping occasionally from a bottle of water.

"I've seen how steady he is, how he's steadied our country and how he's steeled our country for the fight against terror. ... I'm really proud of him. I love to have the opportunity to go around the country and talk about him."



**what gives with the "steady" "steeled" crap?

must be hes' usually "teetering" "staggering"

30. that, Mrs. Bush, would be WAY TOO MUCH information!
"You know, I'm the one who has seen him up close and can tell people what he's like"

To me, the important things about a political leader are competence, honesty, vision, etc. -- these should all be clearly evident to co-workers, staff, and others who do not routinely get intimate with him!

When Trudeau said that "the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation" -- I think that should work both ways. I don't want to hear Laura's description of the cutesy pillow talk!

10. He showed up
"He knows that he showed up the whole time"

It's kind of sad that his best defense is that he simply 'showed up.'

Great people do a hell of a lot more than just 'show up.' It really speaks to the 'C Student' mentality of this guy. What a loser.

15. Golly and I thought she was just a "Lump in the Bed"
Who wrote Laura's Intimate Love Poem where she is referred to as "A Lump in the Bed"? Who has the audacity to refer to her in that manner? She openly admitted on National TV that Bush* never wrote her any poems including that one so Who Did?

She has NO IDEA what a witch hunt is really like.
Senator Clinton should call her and explain, in excruciating detail, what it's like for the press to hound you like they did during the Clinton Presidency.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Can't find a work to call her that doesn't insult someone...crap.

32. That's wonderfully touching...but meaningless.
That "stand by your man" attitude our Laura has is so Donna Reed...

But, what else was she going to say?

Doesn't mean anything.

33. Laura says allegations of AWOL are a lie.
I think that was from a different TV interview, ABC news I believe. Interviewer says "So McCauliffe (sp?) lied?" Laura replies "Yes." Right there on the evening news, 2/18/04. So, Laura, what about those millions of other people...?

38. Laura will get to go back and keep house in Waco soon
I keep saying this but I think Bush will be toast after the first debate. It won't make a difference who he debates, he is not good on his feet. For Meet the Press he was rehearsed and rehearsed by Rove and the mighty WH machine and he was a flop. Yesterday he made those stupid statements in the Oval Office photo op including “I’m not a statistician he complained. "I'm not a predictor." No, unfortunately, his supposed to be our President, yet he doesn't read newspapers or magazines (unless you count his time in the National Guard in Alabama). This is truly our first president who operates in a vacuum. The debates will do him in. And while I’m on a rant, Mrs. Bush said this morning she really dislikes the rumors the Democrats are spreading regarding her husband being AWOL, she might want to be just as outraged at Drudge, Rush and Hannity regarding their rumor mongering regarding Kerry and the intern. My main problem with Republicans is they are the most blatant hypocrites.
