Laura Bush: Abu Dhabi Do-Gooder

First Lady Laura Bush is waging a war of her own in the Middle East -- against breast cancer!
Laura Bush
The 60-year-old, who had a cancerous growth removed from her leg last year, met with breast cancer survivors in the United Arab Emirates this week. Mrs. Bush chatted with the ladies, clad in their little black burkas, at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical Center in Abu Dhabi.

Laura's helping launch the U.S.-Middle East Partnership for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

61. #56 Are you posting from prison or a psycho ward? Laura Bush and her daughters are classy ladies who do much good. What have you done good lately? You are an idiot. Would you have rather had that bimbo Mrs John Kerry for First Lady? Thank God, that didn't happen.

64. Why don't you ignorant liberals shut up. George Bush is our President and Laura is our First Lady. You would think after seven years you would have figured this out.
Stop writing like idiots and watch the World Series or don't they have TV reception in the trailer parks?

65. Would you smoke in a home where there is a sign that says, "Thank you for not smoking in our home."? Of course not.


I'm not saying that Mrs. Bush should necessarily have dressed like her companions. However, I wearing something less form-fitting, covering her ankles and wearing a loose scarf on her head would have been more culturally sensitive and appropriate. JMHO!

66. Sure, cancer is serious, and she's doing a good thing, but George has done as much as anyone possibly can do promote cancer by ignoring global warming and air pollution and being in bed with big oil and reining in the CDC and the Epa and NASA in devious ways no-one ever thought possible, or even imaginable .... He is truly amazing, his ignorance is stunning .... no one man has wrought as much destruction to this planet since Hitler ....
It is a sad day, truly.

69. IN response to #49 the comment by "Allah is Satan, not God"

I can promise you that I'm a hell of a lot brighter than you are. You can spew your rhetoric as often as makes you happy - it's apparently what makes you happy. Rock on with your bad self. How about you listen to others for a minute. For example - my point (which seems to be lost on you, so this is probably a waste of energy) was that breast cancer is something that needs to be recognized in every country, culture, and religious sect for obvious reasons. I am well versed in how women are treated in other cultures, but that doesn't downplay in any way the efforts of people to educate. Maybe your ignorance blinds you? It apparently drives your fingers to type.

74. George Bush has higher ratings with the public than Congress. Congress has the lowest ratings in history. Stop bashing President Bush and do something about our lowlife Congressmen. The Democrats and the Republicans argue all day and never make any decisions. It's the worse Congress ever !
