Where's Laura?

Jim Henley notes that yesterday Washington Post pity party for Bush discussing how the man bears the burden of being a terrible president doesn't mention his wife at all as a source of strength and comfort. Curious.

Comments

My Safeway checkout line has been showing Globe tabloid stories about George and Laura getting divorced for many months (issues of Globe).

Example:

breakup stories

I trust these stories just as much as I trust WaPo, and maybe more.

Is Bush one of Pamela Anderson's weird boobs?

Good catch by Henley. Definitely a dog that didn't bark. The support of the loving wife is an obligatory cliche in this type of story. Things must be really bad.

I've seen studies in media accuracy that put the Enquirer at the forefront of American journalism. They got sued enough so they don't run anything without having multiple sources that will back them up.

Well, I suppose that political discourse on the left has now found its natural level. I hadn't thought it could go any lower, but you all never cease to surprise me with your ugliness.

Two words: Vince Foster.

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

That's her in the blue jacket in the center!
This is much easier than "Where's Waldo" or "Where's Bush's Conscience".

Let's just hope that Barney doesn't run away, too.

"Let's just hope that Barney doesn't run away, too."

Or, worse, turn gay.

Ugly? You wanna talk ugly?!?! Here's two more words: Ann Coulter -- featured speaker of the Conservative Political Action Committee, and on record as wishing for John Edwards' assassination. Now go piss off.

Barney's NOT gay!

In fact, he just loves humping Condi's stilletto boot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one turned on by her stilletto boot.
