Laura Bush Visits Afghanistan

She should have taken Hillary in case there was SNIPER FIRE at the airport. Everyone knows that a real combat vet knows how to react to that sort of danger. Run Laura Run - to the microphone and flowers that is.

Maybe she'll learn a thing or two. Not that any of it would rub off on a shrub.

I hope she wore a burkha.

Not only would it be more respectful for her to do that in an Islamic country, she'd look hotter in a burkha than she does in those 1976 polyester pantsuits she favors.

Wait'll she finds out the Afghans don't have country clubs or a Junior League.

she'd look hotter in a burkha than she does in those 1976 polyester pantsuits she favors.

Even being a burkha babe has got to be better than those pantsuits. What is it when you're married to a President you have to trade in any sense of fashion and style as one of the requirements to be First Lady.

Style = out
Polyester flood pants and jackets w/corny oversized buttons = in

Laura doesn't want to wear a long dress and she can't show her legs there. Hillary wears those unspeakable pantsuits because she cannot show her legs for non-religious reasons.

I thought I'd asked before, but its not here - how much are we paying for this ludicrous junket of Laura's?

"how much are we paying for this ludicrous junket of Laura's?"

Does it really matter at this point?

$526,639,357,670

I doubt she visited "The Laura Bush OBGYH Hospital" 60 minutes chronicled. An OBGYN hospital the Bush Administration set up in a remote area, and the only OBGYN facility for hundreds of miles.

And Afghani-American doctor flew at his own expense to take it over. He found conditions deplorable. Rats, broken plumbing, mold, and no supplies. Women died right and left for the lack of basic OR necessities.

He didn't even get sutures after multiple urgent requests to Tommy Thompson's HHS office. Instead he got a 'thank you for your service' letter. He finally quit in disgust.

When it comes to paying lip service to an ideal nobody else can phone it in quite like a Bush!

Maybe Laura really went there fer the excellent shopping in the highly safe and secure Afghan markets?

Genuine Afghani Afghans?

5 rugs fer 5 bucks?

Such a deal!

Unexploded clusterbombs fer the kids?

Suitable fer kids aged 3 and up!

Maybe Laura just went there to practise her driving?

Pretty much the only place she can get away with her vehicular manslaughtery ways these days is in a lawless warzone.

Be Well.

Independent Lens did a piece on the "Laura Bush OBGYN Hospital" too:

Most of these doctors don't have the basic knowledge to take care of their patients. They're so thirsty for just one word of wisdom, but there's nobody to give them that, to provide them that. --Dr. Qudrat Mojadidi

When the United States invaded Afghanistan in October of 2001, Afghan hopes were high that democracy would bring enormous progress for Afghan women in the arena of health and education. But as of 2006 one of their most fundamental rights-- adequate health care--has not been met.

In MOTHERLAND AFGHANISTAN, Afghan American filmmaker Sedika Mojadidi journeys to the heart of this medical tragedy by following her father's return to Afghanistan to battle one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world. Dr. Qudrat Mojadidi is an OB/GYN who was forced by political pressures to emigrate from Afghanistan to the U.S. in 1972. In 2003, nearly two years after the Taliban's fall, he is invited by the U.S. government to help rehabilitate the largest women's hospital in the country, Rabia Balkhi, now under U.S. sponsorship with a newly re-named Laura Bush Maternity Ward. He returns to his homeland with great hopes that with U.S. funding, he can help set in motion the large-scale changes necessary to stem the epidemic of maternal mortality in the country.

But when Dr. Mojadidi arrives at the Laura Bush Maternity Ward in Kabul, a city still plagued with danger and unrest, he finds deplorable conditions, with limited supplies and unsanitary facilities. As he tries to bring hope to the ward and make the best of archaic equipment and an untrained staff, the film introduces the women behind the statistics and exposes how the U.S. government's Department of Health and Human Services has impacted Afghan lives, particularly in terms of the devastating epidemic of maternal mortality.

"you have a serious self esteem problem" - BLT.

As do about half the people who post here to satisfy their own egos, solely it seems.

It's getting harder and harder for Bushie to find a reasonable voice to send on goodwill missions.

All of his other people are;

1) concerned with making more profit off existing wars
2) trying to start new wars
3) trying to stay out of prison
4) trying to get blown in the men's room
5) praying to jesus

Some buttons are so easily pushed.

The Mayflower Hotel loses revenue while Laura travels.

YEAH!

Nice to see this Cunt out in the Sun Light for a change!

Unfortunately, this latest non-effort by the laziest First Lady in Modern History won't do much to salvage any "legacy"! All it does is draw attention to her absence for the past seven years from the most powerful post of advocacy afforded a woman in this country!

Like Two Worthless and Rotten Peas in a Pod these two turned out to be!
