Laura Bush says Hillary 'out of bounds' Sat Feb 11 2006 11:42:42 ET

From ABC interview of Laura Bush at Winter Olympics today:

Q Before I let you go, one political question, because I'll get fired if I don’t ask at least one political question. The ceremony for Coretta Scott King was just so moving, all the speakers at that. Hillary Clinton has now taken a little bit of the forefront. And I know that you all travel together, and just a week before, she had some very harsh words about this administration, saying it could be one of the worst -- go down in history as one of the worst ever. Is that just politics, is that fair game, or is that out of bounds, a statement like that?

MRS. BUSH: Well, of course I think it’s out of bounds. But I think it’s politics, it’s certainly politics. President Clinton and President Bush and President Bush number 41 who was with us, as well, are in a club together, and really, I think, wives of the Presidents are in a club, as well. We know what it’s like to live in that house. We certainly know what it’s like to have your husband criticized. So I think there’s a certain empathy that we might have for each other that we wouldn’t have maybe for somebody else who said something like that.

Q Well said, gracious as always. Mrs. Bush, thank you very much for your time.

MRS. BUSH: Thanks, Robin.

Laura Bush just body slammed Hillary Clinton yet she still comes off looking gracious and polite. Way to go Mrs. Bush!

That should leave a nice mark on Hillary's face.

[Hoodat]

Well said, gracious as always. Mrs. Bush

That says it all.

[IamConservative]

One fine lady right there.

[Past Your Eyes]

I had a dream about Hillary last night.

AAARRRRGGGGHHH

[chae]

Whoever we nominate in '08 ought to do this: let Hilary be shrill and irritating, while they be gracious and politely insulating.
Hey, I'd vote for Laura Bush against Hilary any day.

[jazusamo]

Laura Bush is a fine example of a true lady. Hilliary could learn from her but anger won't allow it.

[ncountylee]

Unfair to compare Laura Bush's dignity to the fish wife's shrill rantings...NOT.

[ken5050]

Notice also she omitte mentioning Jimmah as a "member of the club.."

[jla]

What 'body slam'? Are you people this damn oblivious to reality??
I liked the 'we're in this club together' quote though.
What "club" is Mrs. B referring to? I thought they we're there at the behest of the American citizens. They're sounding somewhat elitist to me.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Honey, that was no dream, that was a nightmare.

[Watershed]

The ceremony for Coretta Scott King was just so moving, all the speakers at that.

Oh, please.

[new cruelty]

I had a dream about Hillary last night.

[MizSterious]

I'd vote for one of our cows before I'd vote for Hillary. And anyway, Flossie-Mae the cow is prettier.

[boomop1]

Mrs. Bush is a real lady, I for one think these demented cretin's are beyond redeeming, the Carter's and other Bush haters are too often bolstered by the MSM.

[hinckley buzzard]

Notice also she omitte mentioning Jimmah as a "member of the club.."

Even bigger body slam than the one she delivered on the Hillbillary. A lesson in how to express disdain by omission.

Haven't you heard?
Billary won't get mad, she'll get EVEN.

[Dick Vomer]

[Republican Red]

The way I took it is that Mrs. Clinton knows what it is like to have your husband insulted and criticized so she should know better than to participate in the bashing. Hillary should have more empathy for the situation of being a first lady rather than create more hurt.

Maybe Hillary doesn't give a rat's behind about Bill Clinton so any insults heaped on Bill didn't mean a thing to her.

[angelsonmyside]

"That should leave a nice mark on Hillary's face."

I think it takes class and grace to understand class and grace.

I don't think Mrs. Bill Clinton even comprehends what our First Lady said. She's probably still scratching her head over that one. LOL

I love the Bush First Ladies.

[Baynative]

"...Presidents are in a club,..."

[SampleMan]

What "club" is Mrs. B referring to? I thought they we're there at the behest of the American citizens. They're sounding somewhat elitist to me.

Here's a heads up for you. Whatever your pay grade is, its well below POTUS, and no matter how you cut it POTUS is an elite position.

[jocon307]

Killing 'em with kindness, love it!

Hillary did immeasurable damage to herself by scowling at W's little joke about himself and Bill turning 60 this year during the SOTU speach. America is never going to put a humorless b*tch in the White House.

[hinckley buzzard]

We certainly know what it’s like to have your husband criticized. So I think there’s a certain empathy that we might have for each other...

You don't get the message being sent here? Read: "Might have, but obviously this wretched coldblooded lowlife doesn't."

[doug from upland]

That's funny. When they were in the White House, I had a dream that they came to my house for some kind of photo op. The press was there and they were setting up lights. I gave it some thought, then I threw them out of my house. I woke up feeling particularly invigorated.

[RightWhale]

Are you people this damn oblivious to reality??

Well said.

[WalterSkinner]

Midland Texas Bump!

[ken5050]

FYI..check out #19 this thread..it shows potential...LOL

[jla]

I know what "club" she was referring to.
I was being sarcastic.

[jla]

Sure.

[ClaireSolt]

What's with the mug shots?

[pollyannaish]

I think that your fear of elitism has blinded you to the deftness with which the Bushes can hold their ground.

They are part of an exclusive club. They do understand things that no one else does. That is the nature of that particular job. That is not elitism, it is fact.

But it doesn't mean that they aren't part of the "bigger" club as well.

[jla]

FYI..check out #19 this thread..it shows potential...LOL

Grow the hell up. You damn people are the reason I became an Independent.

[pollyannaish]

Sorry. I should have finished the thread before I responded.

Sheesh. Second time today. I think I'm a little itchy on the trigger finger, so I'd better find something else to do for a while.

[Mo1]

Hellary is a bitter women

[Willie Green]

President Clinton and President Bush and President Bush number 41 who was with us, as well, are in a club together, and really, I think, wives of the Presidents are in a club, as well.

Why didn't you just put (sarcasm off) on your post? Problem avoided!

And that's all Shillary is Laura; a wife of a president. Ha!

[angelsonmyside]

"You damn people are the reason I became an Independent"

Regardless of your Party Affiliations, you would have to agree Hillary is a Self Serving, Self Righteous, Classless, Vicious and Dangerous person. Would you not?

[DuckFan4ever]

You sound angry. Are you Hillary?

[jla]

Regardless of your Party Affiliations, you would have to agree Hillary is a Self Serving, Self Righteous, Classless, Vicious and Dangerous person. Would you not?

I would.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Hillary was no "wife" while Bill was in the office. She said it herself -

"Co-President"

Laura Bush is no "co-president".

[fanfan]

During your election in 2004, I dreamed that I was in California, and saw all these secret service people gathering, and thought GWB was coming to speak.

One of the SS guys told me it was Kerry, and did I want to meet him?

I told him thanks, but no thanks.

[Arrowhead1952]

I had a dream about Hillary last night.

SEEK HELP IMMEDIATELY!!

[bjc]

Let's see:
Laura Bush ==> Gracious
Hilary Clinton ==> Obnoxious
GHWB ==> Gracious
Jimmy ==> Obnoxious

God, I love it when a pattern in the data begins to emerge. I also love it when a word encapsulates the essence of an individual.

This is the club of "People in glass houses."

I don't see the allusion to elitism at all.

[Hardastarboard]

I had a dream about Hillary last night.

There are so many things I could say about that, but most of them are appropriate to a porn site, and I like being allowed to post on FR, so I'll just keep my thoughts to myself.
