Lowery : Blah Blah blah bash bash bash bull bull bull

Dubya : What a maroon.

Laura : Please let me kick his ass. Please

OK - give it your best

[Meadow Muffin]

"I would like another roll with dinner please."

[MplsSteve]

Laura looks very pi##ed in that photo!

[Old Grumpy]

"Two classy people sitting behind a pile of trash."

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Colonel Sanders has been palling around with George Hamilton.

[Red Badger]

You know, Laura, the Reverand's pants have a split..........

[SquirrelKing]

Bush 41 was funny: "I lost a page, it's your lucky day!"

Bill's sermon touched me deeply. Hillary's destroyed my kidney stones.

Laura looks very pi##ed in that photo!

My first thought when I saw it was oooo if looks could kill.

[mtbopfuyn]

Didn't turn on FNC until after the funeral. Knew it would raise the old blood pressure.

[The_Victor]

Laura looks very pi##ed in that photo!

That look would curdle beer.

My mom used to get that look occasionally, and I still remember what it meant.

[MadCharity]

Lowery: And yesim, we's be black and we's be proud. We's for the gubmit but not Bush's gubmit. Bush's gubmit is against us black peoples...

Bush thinking: They just can't leave politics out of it, can they? How low CAN they sink?

Laura thinking: Say it...say one more word about my husband....come on...

[peacebaby]

Laura looks determined and dignified. And is striking!

[MotleyGirl70]

Laura is completely disgusted.

[Onelifetogive]

Dubya: "Hey Laura, listen closely here, I had Rove slip some political stuff into his speech so that the Dims end up "Wellstoning" themselves again..."

[manonfire]

amen to that

[TheCrusader]

"psssst, look Laura, his trousers move when he's talking out his arse."

[DrewsDad]

Honey, we really need to add poem writing to the list of education improvements.

[andyland]

Lowery: Blah blah poverty blah blah racism blah blah WMDs blah blah....

President Bush: At the end of the day I'm the President and he's, well, Lowery. Enough said.

First Lady: I can kick his ass and Jimmy Carter's at the same time!

[Publius6961]

Didn't the dumbocrats try this once before at the Wellstone funeral?

And got excoriated for months for being dumma$$3s?

I guess lots of them being black nobody will notice this time?

[GretchenM]

I'm sure she didn't enjoy the histrionics and Bush-bashing. However, Laura generally has a similar look at funerals -- I can't account for her thoughts, but in the funeral photos I've seen of her, she has looked marked with empathy for those who remain and suffer the loss. Having buried her own father, I am sure she relates to the survivors. This is the same type of expression I've seen of her at other funerals -- a somberness and a crinkling of her features.

[Palladin]

Laura sez: "This idiot Lowery is giving me plenty of ideas for jokes at the National Press Dinner."

[Argus]

I heard a little of Bubba's "eulogy" on Rush before I turned it off in disgust. Sounded more like a celebrity roast than a funeral.

[Palladin]

Laura: "Sorry, Joe, but your poetry will never make it to the Library of Congress. Although you did give Doctor Seuss a run for his money."

[pillut48]

"They're running this funeral like a PLANTATION!!!
And you KNOW what I'm talkin' about!!!"

[pillut48]

George (thinking): "Dang! I know they provided us with lunch from Pancho's Buffet, but PLEASE!!!! Why didn't I get a seat on the other side of the stage?!?"

Laura (thinking): "Dang! If that television camera wasn't there, I'd be showing this guy something about WMDs!!!
One more insult and I'm going all kung-fu all over his rear end!!"

Speaker (thinking): "I'm doing such a great job here!! The newspapers will be praising my wonderful speech on the evening news!!!"

:-)

[conservatrice]

That's an insult to Dr. Seuss...

[pillut48]

Bwahahahahaha!!! :-)

[dfwgator]

Bush is going to get the last laugh, as usual. Watch his approval rating skyrocket after this shameful display.

[Dead Corpse]

President: "Laura?"
Laura: "Yes, Dear?"
President: "Are we absolutely sure it is illegal to deport people like this? After all, they'd be happier in France wouldn't they?"

[Palladin]

Apologies to Dr. Seuss.

But Clinton's one remark sounded a lot like "The Fox in the Box".

[Wyatt's Torch]

W: "What's that old saying, 'Better to be thought a complete race baiting moron than open your mouth and remove all doubt.'"

Laura: "Damn right"

[SteveMcKing]

"Wellstone"

[llevrok]

Laura looks determined and dignified. And is striking!

Laura is a babe.

It is so nice to have a first couple with class in the White House.

[yellowdoghunter]

"Two classy people sitting behind a pile of trash."

You got that right. I caught part of the service. What a disgrace. I wish Pres. Bush and First Lady Laura did not have to sit through that. They are better people than I.

[Royal Wulff]

Banned, preferably.

[peacebaby]

She is beautiful, especially in that photograph. If looks could kill. And George's body language shows he wants to protect her...

but she doesn't look like she needs any help, does she?

[peacebaby]

we'll see... .

:`)

[r9etb]

Laura is completely disgusted.

Indeed she is.

[Horatio Gates]

"Psst...Laura, you sure that ain't Looter Guy?"

[blau993]

Hillary's destroyed my kidney stones.

Tomorrow's NY Times headline: "Saintly Hillary Cures The Afflicted."

[MotleyGirl70]

It is so nice to have a first couple with class in the White House.

It really is.

There is nothing fake about them. You can see that George W. and Laura really love, respect and admire one another.

They're just very comfortable with each other and it shows in this picture. It's a few years old, but it's one of my favorites.

[bray]

Table for two, by the Window!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[pctech]

Un-by-God-believable! These people have no shame at all! To take a funeral that was supposed to celebrate a life and turn it into a political hack job has got to the lowest act possible. I hope that black america sees this and knows just how disgusting their leaders are.

[al baby]

can you put in looter guy somewhere in there

[Horatio Gates]

I'm not at my home 'puter and don't have Photoshop right now...just Microsoft paint. Thats what I wanted to do

[Horatio Gates]

[Horatio Gates]

Thats about as good as I can do it at 47

[al baby]

Funny as heck I love it when the dems take the rope and run with it one day thay gonna run out he he he

[EmilyGeiger]

Just once I wish someone could say that to these morons.
