Out of the Kitchen and Into the Fire


Republicans pulled Laura out of the kitchen and asked her to step into the fire, at a time when barely anyone in the country believes a word of what the professional GOP politicians are saying.
Laura Bush is a very likable person, calm, soft spoken and motherly, so, I guess this is desperation time for the Republicans and George.
According to CNN “In her first public comments about Bob Woodward's explosive book "State of Denial," first lady Laura Bush sharply denied claims in the book that her husband has misled the public about the level of violence in Iraq.
Perhaps the word is not mislead Laura, I’d say the correct one would be lie.
"Of course, the president has been frank from the very first speech he gave to the country after the September 11 attacks, talking about this is a long war, this is a very difficult war.”
No he was not frank Laura. He said he would go after the masterminds of the attack, changing course after a few tries in Afghanistan and deciding instead to oust Sadam under false pretenses.
"It's a different war than our country has ever faced.”
War is war, what’s the difference here? Our young soldiers are dying all the same.
“The enemy can make a big show on television like they did for the bloody last month we had in Iraq by blowing themselves up a lot of times along with other people.”
Yeah, I’m sure they get together every day and decide to kill others and blow themselves up just for the cameras. The ultimate Reality Show!
“But our success is not so easy to see. But the fact is that we are succeeding."
Where are we succeeding Laura? Where? Fast! Go to the kitchen, your soufflé is deflating!
