LAURA BUSH SAYS HILLARY KEPT BAD HOUSE; WEST WING DECORATIONS WERE GAUDY, OUTDATED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Laura was appalled at the way the Clintons left the White House and Hillary Clinton's gaudy, outdated taste in decorating, reveals the new book, LAURA BUSH: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT.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."

As Vince prospered at the Rose firm, he and Lisa bought a house in the Heights, an area near the club which proved to be the neighborhood of choice for future Clinton insiders. The Fosters' house, a big white colonial, was redecorated by their next-door neighbor, Kaki Hockersmith, who would one day design the living quarters of Hillary Clinton's White House.

"At a fundraiser at the Little Rock home of President Clinton's former White House interior designer, Kaki Hockersmith, on Friday evening, Mrs. Clark addressed the 'who's who' of Arkansas including Congressmen Marion Berry and Mike Ross. Even without the General, Mrs. Clark and the campaign's Chief Operating Officer, Ambassador Richard Sklar, drew a crowd, and the campaign was said to have raised more than $150,000 by the end of the evening. The question at the end of the night was not who supported Clark, but rather, who got to keep the chia-Donkey centerpiece?"

ps still waiting for your assessment of my assessment of New Orleans pre Katrina / post Katrina when you agreed with DU and basically called me a Racist

I would probably be voted FReeper less likely to call someone a racist unless they are anti-white. I apologize for not answering you challenge

How long do we as a Nation have "legally" to demand the return of stolen National Treasures and all other items by Hill and Bubba?

Your pic is what... an example of their "Good Taste"?

They will return stuff that doesn't meet certain Art Critic standards but they get to keep everything else?

Didn't Laura know that this was the work of that pathetic Arkansas decorator. Wasn't her name "Herkimer" or something? No matter how bad the rooms were, it couldn't be as bad as Hellery's first inaugural ball gown. Does someone have that in the archives?

Didn't the billyblytheclinton's force some guy off of his land to make that horrible double-wide "presidential" library?

slut
1402, "a dirty, slovenly, or untidy woman," probably cognate with dialectal Ger. Schlutt "slovenly woman," dialectal Swed. slata "idle woman, slut," and Du. slodder "slut," but the ultimate origin is doubtful. Chaucer uses sluttish (c.1386) in ref. to the appearance of an untidy man. Also "a kitchen maid, a drudge" (c.1450; hard pieces in a bread loaf from imperfect kneading were called slut's pennies, 18c.).

Don't forget "whorehouse." That's what it became with Billy's baudy encounters.

Sorry, but I love that picture; it's Fifth Avenue in The Rain and it has hung in the Oval Office for years -- until Clinton took it. It's an American classic.

"So I take it Laura took down the velvet Elvis and the dogs playing poker painting?"

But left the pink flamingos out front....

Well in the case of the Lincoln bedroom, isn't it supposed to maintain some old stuff and new things but in should maintain the period feel?

The White House should be dignified but...it is not going to impress Euro snobs and the like no matter how it is kept up.

Gonzales made them give it back, that and another one.

My point was it's not tasteless.

No one that has any brains ever reads Newsweek magazine. That rag is only for the "traitor/treason" Democrat Party vermin of humanity.

Wouldn't expect anything less from a person who looks like an unmade bed most of the time.

I admit the Clintons are the lowest form of human beings that inhabit this earth, and worse then that, they are directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of innnocent Americans on 911 and dates before and after. But, rather then jump all over their useless butts, let us not forget the real culprits here, the American voters that voted for this scum two times. And... the idiots have not yet learned their lesson. One more time with the Democrat vermin in power, and say goodbye to the USA, your families and yourselves!!!

I Love You! Thank You! Craftsmen "R" Us

Amazing how Great Minds Think Alike!

I am not an Engineer, nor am I an Architect but was there anyone (anyone... anyone... echo) that didn't think the Clinton Library was a Trailer house?

Now, to another profession,

Broadcast to Lawyers ... (you think that you run under the Radar... We see your work every day, it is unappreciated, obvious and very very much despised) which is just as obvious as Bubbas trailer but you will never hear it

Plumbers Rule... Others Drool!
