Laura Bush’s Blog

As First Lady, Laura Bush's primary responsibilities are to support charities, host functions and remain the only member of the First Family not arrested for an alcohol-related incident. So far she has managed to carry these duties with time left over for inviting convicts to dinner and honing her stand-up routine.

Barney blog!

By Laura Bush

Hey everybody!

Many of you may have seen the footage of Barney, our beloved Scottish Terrier, biting Reuter’s White House Correspondent Jon Decker’s finger. Bad dog, Barney! Before people rush to judge Barney in his final days at the White House, I know he would like to set the record straight. He has requested to use my blog, because of course dogs don’t have blogs. I will now hand this blog over to Barney:
 
 
America,
 
I apologize if I anyone was upset by the imagery of my recent aggression; an explanation is in order.
 
I have decided to devote my life to Satan. As my time in Washington draws to a close, I have taken much time for self-reflection, and I feel this is my calling. Why?

Michelle Obama is sassy!

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

That Michelle Obama really puts the sass in Sasperila. She reminds me of Whoopi Goldberg -- saying it like it is no matter who she offends or how many nuns she deceives. And I'm not just comparing her to Whoopi because they are both black. My friends always remark about how I can't see color. (Like Denzel Washington -- did you guys know he was black?! I just found that out.)

Today I came out and defended Michelle for that time she said this election is the first time in her adult life she's been proud of America. This is what I told her

"I think she probably meant I'm 'more proud,' you know, is what she really meant," Bush told ABC News. "You have to be very careful in what you say. I mean, I know that, and that's one of the things you learn and that's one of the really difficult parts both of running for president and for being the spouse of the president, and that is, everything you say is looked at and in many cases misconstrued."

When people are paying attention to every little thing you say -- even the racist throwaways you use to fill gaps in conversations -- you need start mincing words and trying to sound as post-lobotomal as possible.

Like sometimes you might say that white azeliahs are the retarded children of the flower garden -- ruining everyone's good time with uncontrolably shreaking -- when you meant to say that you'd prefer some pink snapdragons or a few lovely blue Hydrangeas, you know, something not gay.

A Government that botches its response to a destructive storm is not the kind government I can support

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

I made an announcement yesterday from the White House about Burma and the way they handled the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis. This sort of thing is inexcusable. When a government ignores warnings about a likely natural disaster, like a tropical storm, and then can’t get it together to help victims once that natural disaster occurs, something is wrong.

I mean this is the fundamental role of government, to protect its people in time of crisis. And I partly blame a biased media that they have there. We can thank our lucky stars we’re living in the U.S.A in times like this and not in a nation where all decisions are made by the military. Fortunately, we here at the White House have the good judgement and moral high ground it takes to point out when others failings.

Let's make a delicious Halloween treat!

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

Greetings from the First Lady to all the lesser ladies all across this great nation of ours. With Halloween approaching fast, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to share with y'all an old family recipe for a spookily delicious treat that the whole family will enjoy. Devil's Foodcake! Or, as my great grammie Jennaybeline Susamae Welch called it, Negro Loaf. Except she didn't say Negro. Georgie says that I can't write ****** in my blog. 

Below are the list of ingredients. Have your maid, housekeeper, or other ethnic person who comes to your house to clean and stuff, go and pick up these ingredients wherever it is they go to get your food. I'm not sure exactly where they go. Also, find some pots and pans and spoons and stuff. Remember, knives are sharp and hurt a lot. One time I saw a black person.
INGREDIENTS:

* 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
* 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
* 1/2 month's prescription Prozac
* 1 1/4 cups milk, scalded
* 2 cups cake flour, sifted or stirred before measuring
* 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
* 2 cups Iraqi child's tears
* 1 teaspoon salt (if tears are not salty enough)
* 2/3 cup shortening
* 3 eggs
* 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 5 cups Christ's love

PREPARATION:

Now that we got all these ingredients together from the ingredient gettin' place, you may think that we're all ready to begin. Well hold your horses, because you're forgetting the two most important things you have to do before beginning any cooking project. First, you need to pray. I like to pray in my special praying closet under the stairs in the East Wing. It reminds me of the crawlspace daddy use to lock me in to apologize to Jesus for being slutty. I pray for about an hour or so, or until I'm nice and limber. Next, and just as important, you need to take a few of the pills that your doctor gives you. As you can see from the ingredients list, we're throwing a generous portion of them into the mix, but it's a good idea to take a few of them before committing to any serious activity. Or casual activity. Or just sittin'.

I have to try to remember not to throw all the ingredients into the bowl all at once. That's bad, Laura.

And I have no intention of dropping out of this race either

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

Some of you may still think I’m not cut out for it, but I haven’t given up on my own presidential bid. Like First Lady 42, I've been in dangerous situations. I mean, I went to Afghanistan. But do you think I was able to rely on the irreverent wisecracks of Mr. Sinbad to shield me from harm’s way? No, I was not. I’d like to lay out just a few more examples of when I barely escaped with my life in the past eight years and miraculously lived to blog about it:

  • Despite the fact there was a war going on, never once canceled annual White House easter egg roll on south lawn, unlike some former first-ladies in year’s past. (Eleanor Roosevelt caved to the Japs.)

Vote Laura in '08, I'm more than plastic smiles and repressed tears

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

Two things have come to my attention of late, the first is that I will not be able to live in the White House after January ’09. I really wish someone would have told me this earlier. I specifically remember Georgie saying “It’s a lifetime post, honey, like they’ve got for Vladie Putin or Skeletor from He-Man.” I took his word for it and suddenly I’m here with just over a year left to pack. Anyway, the second thing I learned was that the last first lady is trying to run for President now and not really doing a very good job of it.

So I decided, if Hillary can try for President, well then so can Little Miss Laura Bush. That’s right, I’m throwing myself into the ring. It’s not official yet, but I think a title bout between two former first ladies on next year’s ballot would be just the kind of jumpstart this election needs. Georgie even suggested we add an evening gown competition to the fall debates. Now that’s the kind of race everybody can tune in to!

For our 30th anniversary, I really want something Iranian

By Laura Bush

Bio & Blog

George and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this week! I still remember the flowers at Midland United Methodist, white lily-of-the valley’s lining the bride’s side of the church where George senior’s CIA operatives took up the majority of the seating. I remember calling my family about the wedding the next day, they were dazzled.

Georgie always does something special for our big anniversary milestones. In 2002, for our 25th, he promised me something from the Fertile Crescent and, sure enough, several months later he comes back with a whole truck load of really neat artifacts from the Baghdad museum that I used to decorate the Green Room.

Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; give him a bible, he'll die without filthy diseases

It’s my God-given duty to smile real big and turn my other cheek whenever the liberal media has its dirty sexy way with my precious, pure family, much like Time did recently when it suggested that my Jenna actually advocated the use of condoms to fight that bad, bad disease that only afflicts bad, bad people who don’t respect the holy sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman.

Would it kill you to say something nice?

Well, you’ve done it again, America. George came upstairs last night all hot and bothered with his tie twisted up around his neck. I wondered first if someone had quizzed him on world capitals again. Then I thought maybe they called off the war. But no, it was polls. This screwy Reuters Zogby Poll had reported his lowest approval rating yet. Only a 87 percent public approval of his job as President, Georgie told me. I right away made sure his Grand Theft Auto disc was already loaded into the console before he sat down in his chair and I left him alone to stew in his juices (Barney and I both know by now just to leave the room altogether on nights like these).

My nickname is Sweet Cheeks

By Laura Bush

ap071012016425.jpg

Because I’m a genteel lady, it would be unbecoming of me to tell you just how charitable and kind and brave I’ve been lately, but it’s only appropriate for me to sincerely and genuinely thank that nice reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg of that liberal rag I’m not supposed to read for her superb little article on my upcoming diplomatic trip to the Middle East to promote bosom cancer research.

But as graciously and courteously grateful as I am for her attention, I’ve just got to point out a few teensy-weensy little tiny baby details Miss Stolberg missed.

1. My code name is NOT “Bright Star.”

  • It’s “Sweet Cheeks,” what Georgie always calls me, because I smile so big and pretty, of course.
