QUOTES: President thanks U.S. troops at Wiesbaden Army Airfield Base, saying, "You are carrying out challenging duties with skill and honor.

I have yet to see, and hope I never shall, a photo of Laura Bush with any other leader or leader's spouse or where the other woman eclipsed Laura. This is not to say that some of these other women have not been very attractive, decent, warm people. It's just that Laura outshines them all.

PRESS REVEALS
FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH
DRINKS WATER!
I got in early...maybe even top 30...
How is everyone tonight?
Wow! Can't believe I actually got to this Dose before being #250! The pictures are just wonderful--looks like they just might be having a good time in Europe this time!
(I mean the one on the left.)
g'day Gretchen - greetings from Down Under! Thanks for the ping and today's pix. Great photos of Laura and Condi and of course W.
Someone else might have already said this, but she "outshines them" because of her inner glow from being at peace with herself and with her world. She is loved!
I think Condi has a few fans wearing fatigues!
Prayer for his meeting with Putin.
Doris is looking HOT!! I thought she and Gerhard were separated - ? I think she's his fourth wife or something. Her husband's a pimp, but she's stylin'. Laura, of course, always looks great.
What's so great about Condi is that she can talk football with the guys. They love that! What a terrific personality she is, and how fortunate we are to have such an outstanding intellect in such a winsome package!
