Laura Bush Zings Hillary

Laura Bush seems to be coming into her own as first lady -- especially in contrast to her predecessor.

Not only does a new poll show her outshining Hillary Clinton, but in little noticed remarks last week, the demure Texan actually made fun of Mrs. Clinton's megabucks book deal.

Addressing the National Press Club about the fears she'd experienced since Sept. 11, Mrs. Bush took time out for some comic relief with this answer to a question about whether she intended to write a book about her experience.

"I guess it'll be whether or not I can get that $8 million advance." The audience roared with laughter.

The rest of America also seems to appreciate the new first lady's light touch after Hillary's eight years of power grabbing and money grubbing.

56 percent of those surveyed told a Fox News Dynamics poll that Bush fits the image of what a first lady should be. Only 26 percent said Hillary lived up to their ideal.

And in more bad news for Sen. Clinton, the Fox survey shows her favorability rating actually going down in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Though she's been on TV more often than ever before, touting her efforts to help New York City recover, her favorability rating has slid to just 44 percent.

That's a twelve point decline from Mrs. Clinton's January high of 56 percent.

Can you imagine if Jeff Foxworthy did a routine on "You Might Be a Clinton..."?!

If your Vaseline bill is larger than your speaking fee, you might be a Clinton!

Ah Hillary...a class act. Hillary flashes for votes

LOL! You forgot the (whispers) barf alert!. . .

[Roebucks]

LMAO! Priceless. You should email him with the idea. He'd be guaranteed plenty of belly laughs.

That is the big difference in being intelligent and being smart: intelligence is being well-read, always willing to learn, listening to others, etc.; whereas, smart is fooling people into thinking you are intelligent.

Laura is intelligent.

Livia Rodham is smart.

[Paul Atreides]

If you bury more people than you have over for a dinner party, you might be a Clinton.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh-oh. I think Pres. Bush is going to be in trouble here. The unhonorable jr. senator from New York will take out her revenge by voting against every Bush endorsed bill to come before the Senate. ;^)

LOL! As if she was gonna support his agenda in the first place?. . .

'Someone once asked Juliette Prowse how to succeed in show business. Her answer was, "Think like a man, work like a dog, and act like a lady."'

Well Hillary acts like a man, looks like a dog, and thinks she is a lady.

[Roebucks]

If your buck stops at the Chinese "White House", you might be a Clinton.

[Qathleen]

I am proud of our First Lady!

[Roebucks]

If the digital readout on your air bed remote control is set to "Monica", you might be a clinton.

[Paul Atreides]

If you can "hit" the sink with your back to it, you might be a Clinton.

Hey! That's a fake! You can't fool me! Hillary usually tucks those under her belt or ties them together behind her back.

From the grave,

Notice, the article said the audience "roared with laughter"!! These are Livia Rodham's people and they loved the comment!

....smart is fooling people into thinking you are intelligent.

Until one meets a "smart" fellow, it takes a while to become intelligent, but after a while, one beomes REAL intelligent! Utlitmately, isn't it the soul that makes one intelligent?

[Roebucks]

If you send yourself salmonella viles in the mail to feel included, you might be a clinton.

[Paul Atreides]

If you are the number one customer of the publishers of "Leaves of Grass", you might be a Clinton.

[xsmommy]

if you always thought that vince foster looked good in a rug, you might be a clinton....

[Paul Atreides]

True. I have known of some very intelligent people who aren't very smart and vice versa.

[Roebucks]

If your eyes can roll backwards into your skull while your demon head spins, you might be a hillary.

[Paul Atreides]

If you're the one who got Rosemary Woodhouse pregnant, you might be a Clinton.
