Hats off to Laura Bush.The first lady smartly blew off the tradition of wearing headgear for yesterday's swearing-in ceremony.

Each outfit was elegant, age-appropriate — and unabashedly glamorous.
Mrs. Bush started her exceptionally stylish day by walking Washington's power carpet in a show-stopping winter white cashmere coat, trimmed with subtle shimmering blue embroidery.

What a delightful couple!
and 'The First Lady' is just a little bit better than he.
It is true, behind all Great Men...
there is a Great Woman!!
Of all the people I saw on TV today, Laura was clearly the most radiant. Would love to know what was on her mind. There was just something special about it. I have a feeling she is going to enjoy the next four years, and is looking forward to no more campaigns.
Right click time ... :-)

No berkas on this bus.
I predict a lot of boys being named George in the Middle East over the next decade. =)
What a wonderful thing to see two people so much in love! I'm so proud to have them in the Whitehouse!
From your lips...
to God's ear.
I love that silver gown. Wow
Madam First Lady, Laura Bush, you are a first class act!!!
there is a Great Woman!!
And ALL great men choose wisely! ; )
Wow!
The man ask's...
the woman chooses.
Don't expect high office any time soon.
To ask is to be denied, to conquer and take is to be fulfilled.
You are a Communist.
