Brian Kilmeade.

Brian:
"We went to the White House Christmas Party."

Mike:
"Did the President recognize you?"

Brian:
"No. But the First Lady did. You know what. I'm going to say this. Laura Bush is the most attractive first lady we have ever had in the history of all first ladies. She even beats out Martha Washington."

Mike:
"I agree. She is freaking hot."

Brian:
"She's lost a lot of weight. If this First Lady thing doesn't work out I am sure she could be a model somewhere."

Laura Bush kicks off the National Book Festival Gala Friday, October 11, 2002 at the Library of Congress. Said Mrs. Bush, "Books are not just for reading - they are for sharing, and talking about. A good book draws us back again - we want to remember the scenes and revisit the characters. Finishing a book is like saying good-bye to an old friend; we need support groups for that. That's why book clubs were invented." White House photo by Susan Sterner.

Another picture.

One last HUGE picture. You can decide whether you want to click on it.
Ok..I lied. One more picture! There were so many pictures! I couldn't get them all on this thread! There are tons!

She sure does put the previous administration into the proper, scrape-it-off-the-bottom-of-the-shoe perspective.

[johnb838]

She is racked, but I gotta say this. Brian Kilmeade is such a dork. In a good way. I like how he'll say whatever comes into his head.

[onyx]

Thank you for my GWB is some kind of HOT ping. :)

Laura gets my vote.

[kassie]

Oh thank you all for these great pictures. Our First Lady is a First Class Lady.

Granted, Laura Bush is very smart and quite attractive, in a plain sort of way. But, to say that she is the "most" attractive First Lady ever, is really reaching. After all, the word "most" signifies comparison. So, let's compare her with two of the most attractive First Ladies in the last 50 years.

Nancy Reagan, though not as book smart as Laura Bush, was far more attractive. Unlike Laura Bush, she knew what colors and styles looked best on her and stuck to them. I don't recall ever seeing a photo or video clip of her, during her tenure as First Lady, when she did not look like she was ready to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine.

But, to compare either Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan to Jackie Kennedy, is sheer folly. Unlike Nancy Reagan, who always looked ready to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine, Jackie Kennedy was featured on the cover of many fashion magazines. Every time Jackie wore a new dress, fashion designers worldwide rushed in a panic, to change their lines. No other First Lady ever had such an effect. That's because she made whatever she wore look better. They didn't call it Camelot, because of John Kennedy. It was because of Jackie's class and charm. She was one of the few good things about that administration.

Laura Bush is an excellent First Lady - far better, as a First Lady, than her husband is, as a President. She is also quite attractive - much more so than her immediate predecessor. But, considering who else she would have to be compared against, to say that she is the "most" attractive First Lady ever, is absurd. Had the author used the phrase, "one of the most" or "among the most", then nobody could deny it. But, the term "most", leaves no room and should only be used when there is no doubt, since such blunt statements only invite comparisons that will either prove the contrary or at the very least, cast serious doubt on the accuracy of the statement and neither is a desirable outcome.

Laura Bush is attractive. Let's just leave it at that.

BTW, Laura smoked also. At least I know she did before Bush was governor of Texas. I'm not sure if she still does, but I hope she's quit. At least one of the daughters, one who got caught drinking, smokes also, at least occasionally.

How do I know... I've see it in their fingers, caught on camera.

[Gracey]

I might add also, that I have the HIGHEST admiration for Laura. Here in Austin, she was very much liked and accepted by the Democrats, as she remained non partisan, in her quest to promote reading. She was very much involved in reading issues while her hubby was governor.

[aquawrench]

Right on.

[ConservativeMan55]

I would say that she is the most attractive ever.

[MississippiMan]

Yeah, I've noticed throughout life that women gauge beauty of other women entirely differently than men. My wife will see someone on TV and say, "She's pretty, isn't she?" I'll be gagging. Likewise, I'll mention someone being gorgeous (not as gorgeous as her, of course) and she'll say, "You're KIDDING!"

I sure didn't/don't care for Kennedy politics, but Jackie was QUITE good looking from a physical perspective.

To quote Brian Kilmeade from this morning...

"Michael Jackson is all bony. Having sex with him would be like having sex with a bag of rakes wouldn't it? Elbows all bony and stuff."

[Gracey]

Something about you.... you always have to see the NEGATIVE in life. Maybe you can make a new years resolution to start thinking POSITIVE for once.

[ConservativeMan55]

LOL!

[Gracey]

Thanks for the GREAT service you did with this thread. I've enjoyed it tremendously.... and now I have a BIG smile on my face. Have a wonderful holiday with you and yours.....

LOL too.

[ConservativeMan55]

No Problem. I don't see Laura mentioned much on FR. So when I heard Brian mention her this morning I thought this would be nice to do.

[Qwinn]

I can't go with you on Nancy Reagan. Don't get me wrong, Nancy ROCKS in a thousand ways, but in terms of being attractive, I think Laura edges out.

However, you're right about Jackie Kennedy. She was definetly better looking and more attractive (to me as a guy anyway).

Of course, just like our -last- First Lady, her husband was running around on her in a big way. While it's wrong to hold her responsible for that, we -are- talking about them in the context of their role as "First Ladies", and in that sense one can certainly make the argument that while she may have been great looking, she probably wasn't really a "First Lady"... or a second... or a fifth... or a tenth... and as such it's a bit difficult to put her in the same category.

[usedtolurk]

I think that you have to put it into context. You have to compare Laura now to what Jackie looked like at 57.

[repubmom]

There's an article about Mrs. Bush in Readers Digest's January issue with a lovely picture of her.

[ConservativeMan55]

Cool. I will have to check it out. She is lovely.
