LAURA BUSH SAYS HILLARY KEPT BAD HOUSE; WEST WING DECORATIONS WERE GAUDY, OUTDATED
First Lady Laura Bush believes Hillary Clinton did not keep good house during her time as first lady, a new book will charge.
Ron Kessler, a former investigative reporter for the WASHINGTON POST and the WALL STREET JOURNAL, is set to unleash his account of Laura Bush.
On December 18, 2000, just after the Supreme Court ruled on the election, Hillary Clinton gave Laura Bush a tour of the White House. The incoming-First Lady was dismayed at what she saw: Not only were carpets and furnishings fraying and in disrepair in the West Wing and public areas, the Oval Office was done in loud colors—red, blue, and gold! The East Wing was cut up into small offices and had exposed electrical conduits. Many of the furnishings looked dated.
Laura Bush noted how the Lincoln Bedroom looked worn out.

Laura was appalled at the way the Clintons left the White House and Hillary Clinton's gaudy, outdated taste in decorating, reveals the new book, LAURA BUSH: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT.
The book, which will be published by DOUBLEDAY on Tuesday, is the only book to be written about Laura Bush with White House cooperation.

Elsewhere in AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT: After NEWSWEEK ran a Periscope item claiming the U.S. military had flushed a Koran down a toilet, leading to rioting, Laura ordered: "I don't want NEWSWEEK around the house!"
Laura Bush became so disgusted with the media and their war against her husband that at one point, she told her public relations person Noelia Rodriguez she did not want to do any more media interviews. After about a month, she slowly resumed talking to the press.
A close friend of Laura's, Pamela Nelson, asks Laura how she's doing. Laura replies, "Well, it's the Kitty Kelly book and Dan Rather this week..."
Nancy Weiss, a Bush family intimate, told Kessler, "She torments herself by reading the WASHINGTON POST and the NEW YORK TIMES, " and added, "A Texas Monthly article (based on a book by a Washington Post reporter ) said she is a 'bad mom.' She handles it calmly but I can tell things like that do upset her."
Developing...
When I saw this thread all I could think of were those curtains and that vase
LOL!!
You're bad! ;)
What, Laura don't like velvet Elvis prints, dogs playing poker?
Bed or bedroom?
She's the classiest first lady in a long time. God bless Laura Bush.
What do you expect the White House to look like with critters like this running loose!
No one ever thought to call the exterminators!
Laura Bush is way to much of a Lady to say something like this, I feel this is another attack on President Bush by going thru Lady Laura...
Some people just have no principles at all....
True story - in Dillard's one year, there was a tree with these flesh colored cylindrical-like ornaments. All four of us stopped dead in our tracks and crowded around the tree for several minutes trying to determine exactly what the ornaments depicted. We all looked at each other and said in shocked unison, "It's a D*ckmas Tree!"
Isn't that where Bubba took Barbra?
The actually STOLE this painting:
No sh** ... considering it was being rented out at almost $50 grand a night for the better part of 8 years, that comes as no surprise. Anyone with a picture of Marky Post (sp?) jumping up and down on the bed with another female ditz?
LOL! How did I know.... I read that headline and said- "Hmmm must be Drudge...."
HA! I have been wiating for Kacki to get her comeuppance for almost 5 years! It WAS a gaudy Oval Office...no question about it! We saw the pictures!
Tall_Texn has something.

Haiti: Victim of Clinton's Old Black Magic

...In the United States, meanwhile, President Bill Clinton ordered the U.S. military to begin including witchcraft pagan chaplains to minister to the religious needs of our troops. Hillary Clinton, as observed by FBI agents, decorated her upstairs Christmas tree one year with sex and drug paraphernalia. She pressed the Postal Service to discontinue issuing Madonna and Child stamps around Christmastime....
Exactly.
Doesn't sound like Laura.
DOES Sound like hillary.
Wanna bet Margie Post got an FOB discount??
Just think...those gaudy gold drapes and the blue and red decor are now preserved for posterity in the fake but accurate Oval Office in Arkansas.
I wish I could find that review that said it looked like a bordello.
