Former First Lady Laura Bush has come out against the Arizona immigration law, pointing to the discrimination that her own Irish ancestors, named Welch, faced in their time.
In an interview with Fox News, Bush said the new law merely showed an upsurge in prejudice similar to what her Irish ancestors faced.

Well, I’ve said that every time someone brings up Jeb..
“Laura was a wonderful First Lady and made us all proud for eight years. She has earned a right to her opinion and I for one will respect it.”
I can respect that opinion..however it is almost a “passive agressive” mentality that has pervaded the last 2 Repub’s holding the White House (Bush 1 and Bush 2)..meaning that they have the apearance of being a conservative family ( the old marm Barbara as an example) yet fullfilling a leftish agenda with trade and economic policies
I think the one true patriot if Bush 2 admin was Cheney...we had a opportunity to meet with him in D.C. and his concern was for the protection of the U.S. against the terrorist..
Irish ancestors where legal immigrants. Laura has gone dopey.

On St. Pat’s day, no teacher, Principal or Vice Principal ever told me to take off a US flag shirt!!!!!!
Seems like she was perfectly happy to keep quiet as her husband took conservatives’ money and advanced professionally—while too often betraying those supporters. Now that they’ve got all the benefits thereof, she’s eager to disparage what those supporters believe in—and were paying her husband for.
WT?
I thought Laura was a librarian? She can’t be bothered to read the law?
10 whole pages?
Pro-abortion, pro -gay marriage, pro-Hagan, and now pro-illegals. Now I understnd why W was so wishy-washy.
As far as Jeb Bush goes..God Forbid!! He’d be like a T.Ken wanttabe..(carry on the family tradition)
You mean the new voice of the homosexual agenda, including opening up the military to them?
Bush 41 and Bush 43 simply shifted to the right as was required to be elected as a Texas Republican or a national Republican.
My ancestors were Irish and Welsh, as far as I know (and I do) they went through hell to get here and stay here and all were here legally, not always welcome but they want a better life for themselves I thank them for what they endured.
Laura is doing the memory of her ancestors a real disservice. She should be ashamed.
You saw the light a lot sooner than I did, HuntsvilleTxVeteran.
As someone on this thread suggested earlier, Laura may as well go off and co-host a show on MSNBC or CNN with Meghan McCain... they're two birds of a feather.
“I have been SO disappointed...no, make that appalled”
Me too. Doesn’t she realize there is a backlash going on in this country against socialism? Does she realize how out of step these views are with her constiuents? I don’t think she has a clue.
I think she is clueless as well. Very surprising... she sure had me fooled for all these years. :-(
I HEARD THAT!
“..her degree is in library science, stick to something you know..”
Would that be the Dewey Decimal System?
Actually, she is trying to get max publicity for her book and being a lumbusco with the left-wingers is just the right ticket. Her whole “transformation” is really quite sad. Next thing you know she may get a gig on MSNBC right after “Crashdown” Keithypussy. She actually looks rather depressed on the couple of interviews I saw. Or maybe she felt repressed all of these years. The most unfortunate aspect is that it serves as fodder for the commiewetqu33r$militaryhaterdeathsquadabortingdictators running the country in the ground. (Did I miss anybody?)

I am saying that Cheney is very concerned about the safety of American citizens against terrorism....my statement had nothing to do with gender identification...
She is a damn Idiot!
