LAURA BUSH SAYS HILLARY KEPT BAD HOUSE; WEST WING DECORATIONS WERE GAUDY, OUTDATED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Laura was appalled at the way the Clintons left the White House and Hillary Clinton's gaudy, outdated taste in decorating, reveals the new book, LAURA BUSH: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT.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

I know it's crude but to be correct it is "Semen Stains" Bubba shoots blanks.

A distinction without a difference.

For instance, are you familiar with the three second rule? You know, the rule that makes it permissible to eat something that you drop on the floor?

And who could forget Kockie's deplorable WH decor----that one room she redid in red brocade looked like the lobby of a cheap brothel.

The Clintons were and are Papa Whiskey Tango of the lowest order. I'm not surprised Mrs. Bush, who seems like a very graceful woman, would notice this.

I have never thought much of that rule, it's so restrictive.
I have never cared much for rules or meetings for that matter.

BUT I stand corrected!

Thank you and we are still in 100% agreement.

Good evening.

So, not only was the carpet in the oval office stained when bill was there but it was also frayed.

Hmmm...Let's see...The Clintons had a balanced budget...The Bushes on the other hand, have run up a charge account on the Country Master Charge to the tune of almost a Trillion Dollars...

It's easy to have good taste when someone else is paying for it...

I think Milligan is right. Laura has had it. She didn't like politics to begin with. She has seen her husband and daughters trashed for almost 5 years. There are no more elections for her husband, and the Republicans have proven themselves to be backstabbers.

So, she is going to speak her mind in a most ladylike way.

GOOD! I am popping the popcorn right now!

Oh, go away. If you loved the Clinton years so much, go support Hillary. I am done with you constant gripers. Here you are on a thread about Hillary's decorating, and you try to twist it into a Bush-bashing thread. Pbbt!

How did he get this magical balance budget? Can you name "1" thing that bubba did that was not detrimental to the US?

(I was going to continue on with "to balance the budget" but hell the question might be easier for you to answer this way)

Markie Post probably got more than a "discount" from Bubba, if you know what I mean, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
