Lauer to Laura Bush: Is It 'Painful' to Be in New Orleans, Since So Much Blame Is Laid At Your Husband's Feet?

Today co-anchor Matt Lauer traveled to New Orleans, on Friday, to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and interviewed the likes of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, former FEMA Director Mike Brown, current Democratic Mayor Mitch Landrieu and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, but saved any sort of direct shots at George W. Bush for his interview with Laura Bush.

My reply would have been “The only ones that I have seen or heard make such claims were the liberal television media, liberal print media, a Democrat Mayor and a gangster rapper. These same people would have found something to be critical of no matter what the reaction would have been.”

Did you really read what you posted? “as we can see now with the new president.”

Laura was being facetious - the new “president” blames Bush for everything. Notice that Laura says, first, “the President takes the blame in any situation”, which makes reference to the “as we can see now with the new president.”
AND the word President is capitalized in its first mention, but NOT in the last.

Whoa, what's wrong here?

Sorry, I can’t make out where you are going ???

*I* was being facetious with my comment. One would have to be deprived of all communication with the outside world not to know that Obama continues to blame “W” for everything.

The capitalization appears in the Newsbusters transcript; she really didn’t stop and say “CAPITAL P PRESIDENT” and “lower case p president.”

Anything Goody Two Shoes did after she did her good deed she spouted out as to ‘her’ true feelings.....and they don’t match mine!

She’s too damned typical of the mealy-mouths who are busy getting us to see her going to quilting bees that we conveniently forget that she’s a flaming liberal.

I hope that no one reads her book and that many notice that she shares a dais with Wookie Obama for a repulsive cause.

No. It is you who are the hand-dragging neanderthal.

You don't read well do you? I'll bet you're up to third grade level though. Your eyes get all cloudy when Laura speaks as she's such a great spokeswoman for conservative ideals.

All the leftist gobbledygook pours forth and, voila, you're not there. You have forgotten that her husband drug his feet on problems we were having with the border and the Ramadan dinners he held in the White Hut for muslim leaders.

Many called him a Conservative, but he wasnt'. He was just a 'moderate' like his father.

There is entirely too much more, but I don't want to stuff your developing brain with facts.

Let's get this straight for the record, at least.

I'm a right wing conservative and you're a WING NUT.

Conservative ideals?

Is that why Laura admitted that she voted for Obama?

Now, Katrina was a different matter.

The locals are supposed to act in a calamity. The federales acted quickly enough while the locals were stepping on each other due to their advanced stages of ineptitude.

The locals are so morally and mentally inept that after five years they’re still wining and gnashing their teeth over why some bureaucrat didn’t come in, swamp out the house, replace all damaged goods, feed them, wipe their bums, etc. etc,, that they’re still having nightmares about the disaster and will for the rest of their lives as long as Uncle Stupid has coins in his purse.

Local governments need to take care of disaster, FEMA, ATF need to be disbanded and those ‘working’ in those bureaucracies need to get out and find a job commensurate with their ability, like frying hamburgers and carrying out the trash.

While perhaps you’re not a polite gentleman, I still won’t call you an idiot, a moron, a third-grade reader, a mind full of mush, a cafeteria American, a neanderthal and a host of other things that I could call you.

The juvenile attempt to degrade me because I realize Laura is a pro-abortion liberal is typical of your type.

I’ll bet you’re all wrapped up in hope and change now. How’s it working out for you?

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Believing that abortion and homosexual marriages is okay in her book makes her a lefty.

For 5% I’d slam the door on her! She’s clearly with the other side. Unlike Hillary she’s not stuck in there as the SOS, so we are not forced to hear her voice her platitudes.

The appearance of which you speak was arranged for Laura to be a speaker long ago, maybe months.

Wow. Months. Me ignorant? you intelligent? It doesn't work that way. The proof is there that she clearly belongs to the other side and you dare to call me ignorant? I correctly label you a simpleton.

She is referring to the oil spill and Obama.

I haven’t trashed Laura Bush. She has trashed herself and convicted herself of liberalism with her own words!

The credit I give Laura is that she kept her mouth shut during the eight years as first lady.

There are several degrees of political affiliation.

There are leftists and liberals, moderates (who stand for nothing), conservatives and right wing conservatives. I classify myself in the last category.

OK.

Cheney quickly joined the CFR and the Trilateralists after he was finished representing Wyoming in Congress.

Laura didn’t speak up much while her husband was in office, but now she has out in favor of gay marriage and she’s pro-choice.

I imagine her husband’s views are actually much closer to hers than he ever let on during his presidency. The base must be appeased, and to do that you’ve got to tow the socially conservative line.

I think there are better, deeper and more fundamentally important things to be ‘socially conservative’ about – like valuing hard work, slashing the federal government and spending, locking up the border and deporting ALL illegal aliens.
