Laura Bush Tries to Blend In
Laura Bush tours Saudi Arabia, breast cancer crusade
And I thought everyone loved Laura. Rightwing blogger Debbie Schlussel is annoyed with the First Lady:
Mrs. Bush's People Lied: To Readers Who Applauded Mrs. Bush's "Tough Stand" Against Muslim HeadScarves . . .
"When I first wrote about First Lady Laura Bush's latest Breast Cancer Awareness Tour of the Extremist Islamic World (redundant), I noted that Mrs. Bush's PR team told the press that she would not, under any circumstances, don an Islamic headscarf or anything of the sort . . . I didn't buy it. And, as usual, my instincts were correct. This is Sheikha Laura, yesterday, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. . . One final pic from Mrs. Pander Claus' trip to the Islamist Gulf. Here's Laura Bush butt-kissing Saudi King Abdullah . . . "
UPDATE: Why can't Laura Bush be a cowboy? Think Progress finds yet more rightwing intolerance for the diplomatic ways of Laura Bush, or Right Wing Enraged: Laura Bush Is A ‘Butt-Kisser’ For Wearing Headscarf In Mideast: "The conservative blogosphere has released its seething intolerance, collectively rising up to denounce Laura Bush as “Ms. Pander Clause” for wearing the head cover."
