LAURA BUSH SAYS HILLARY KEPT BAD HOUSE; WEST WING DECORATIONS WERE GAUDY, OUTDATED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Laura was appalled at the way the Clintons left the White House and Hillary Clinton's gaudy, outdated taste in decorating, reveals the new book, LAURA BUSH: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT.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."

Why should Mrs Bush be surprised by this? It's *exactly* what happens when white trash suddenly comes into money.

Oh, God, the claws are coming out. This stuff doesn't happen unless there's a major sh*tstorm brewing between Hillary and Laura. Mee freakin' Yeow. It would have been just like Hillary to have condescended to Laura in the past.

One of the reasons Laura mentions Condi a lot as a POTUS candidate, I'll bet, aside from the fact that all the Bushes want Condi to run, is that she knows that it really darkens Hillary's day.

Nuttin' like fightin' cats!

Just DAMN! After seeing that Photoshop masterpiece, I quelled my overstimulated gag reflex and realized there are worse things than panthers in ones yard.

Most rooms that are sold by the hour have a worn look.

I'm not surprised. She was too busy trying to be "co-president" to worry about that beneath her, "housewife" stuff...

That is the strangest picture. Her head looks enormous compared to her body and just look at her now. It's the reverse problem.

"Isn't that where Bubba took Barbra?"

I was thinking that, too.
Why does someone like Hillary who says so much and does so little get SO MUCH ATTENTION? I don't get it! LOL

Well of course it's going to look worn out. Clintoon had all his juvenile friends jumping on the bed in there.

Where is the picture of the loaded trucks as Bubba and his Ho packed for their move? There wasn't anything left to decorate with, Hildibeast needed to furnish her new pad.

(Couldn't help it Bubba being the first black President and all)
