LAURA BUSH SAYS HILLARY KEPT BAD HOUSE; WEST WING DECORATIONS WERE GAUDY, OUTDATED

First Lady Laura Bush believes Hillary Clinton did not keep good house during her time as first lady, a new book will charge.

Ron Kessler, a former investigative reporter for the WASHINGTON POST and the WALL STREET JOURNAL, is set to unleash his account of Laura Bush.

On December 18, 2000, just after the Supreme Court ruled on the election, Hillary Clinton gave Laura Bush a tour of the White House. The incoming-First Lady was dismayed at what she saw: Not only were carpets and furnishings fraying and in disrepair in the West Wing and public areas, the Oval Office was done in loud colors—red, blue, and gold! The East Wing was cut up into small offices and had exposed electrical conduits. Many of the furnishings looked dated.

Laura Bush noted how the Lincoln Bedroom looked worn out.

Laura was appalled at the way the Clintons left the White House and Hillary Clinton's gaudy, outdated taste in decorating, reveals the new book, LAURA BUSH: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT.

The book, which will be published by DOUBLEDAY on Tuesday,
is the only book to be written about Laura Bush with White House cooperation.

Elsewhere in AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT: After NEWSWEEK ran a Periscope item claiming the U.S. military had flushed a Koran down a toilet, leading to rioting, Laura ordered: "I don't want NEWSWEEK around the house!"

Laura Bush became so disgusted with the media and their war against her husband that at one point, she told her public relations person Noelia Rodriguez she did not want to do any more media interviews. After about a month, she slowly resumed talking to the press.

A close friend of Laura's, Pamela Nelson, asks Laura how she's doing. Laura replies, "Well, it's the Kitty Kelly book and Dan Rather this week..."

Nancy Weiss, a Bush family intimate, told Kessler, "She torments herself by reading the WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK TIMES, " and added, "A Texas Monthly article (based on a book by a Washington Post reporter ) said she is a 'bad mom.' She handles it calmly but I can tell things like that do upset her."

No, that "cousinly" connection just dropped down the memory hole.

I wish I had a dollar for every lie we heard from that crowd. Here are some oldies that you may have forgotten about:

There were TWO John Huangs, according to Gore's people.
HIllary claiming she was named after Sir Edmuund Hillary.
Clinton claiming he knew more about agriculture than any president in history.
The aide who claimed that he lied to his diary.
Hillary telling us that she didn't know about Monica until Bill told her the day it broke in the papers.

I could go on and on.

Oh, you are right! It was Catherine Cornelius (who has also disappeared from the public eye).

There were so many people of questionable character that we could probably make a Trivial Pursuit game out of all the names.

You left some serious broadsides in that one dear but I will try to be a gentleman and resist my impulses.

The White House was basically a Wankatorium for eight disgusting years....there will be Clinton DNA on any remaining carpets, drapes, and especially sink drains for eons to come (pardon the pun, por favor)

We all know why, too.

The Clinton's took all the new stuff and replaced it with the old. Gaudy colors in Oval Office were to please Billy Jeff's 'hoes.

What was the name of the guy who said he'd lied to his diary?

Has Madeleine Albright ever returned that oil painting reportedly looted by the Nazis? How about Robert Reich's book (which was supposedly non-fiction)? When questioned about the "facts" in it, he admitted to having "taken liberties" w/the truth.

Freepers could write a book...w/all the bookmarks we've got...and make the best seller list, thereby eliminating the need for any further freepathons.

Drudge's obsession with Madonna and Sharon Stone and Barbra and Hillary just shows how gay he is.

Mrs. Reagan had a fortune teller basically, so it would not surprise me if the Clintons, nothing but what I believe to be Satan's agents posing as Christians designed to pollute our government, held seances.
