Media More Interested In Laura Bush’s Skin Condition Than Iraq
Media More Interested In Laura Bush’s Skin Condition Than Iraq
During today’s press briefing, the media devoted most of its attention to the skin cancer tumor First Lady Laura Bush recently had removed. Reporters were critical of Mrs. Bush’s decision to not publicize her condition initially, asking Press Secretary Tony Snow why she “didn’t feel any obligation as a person of public status to talk about this” and arguing that she should now become an advocate for preventative care against skin cancer.
In fact, the White House press corps asked more questions about Laura Bush’s skin condition than they did about any other issue:
22: Number of questions on Laura Bush’s skin cancer.
18: Number of questions on Iraq.
3: Number of questions on Iran.
1: Number of questions on North Korea.
Highlights of reporters’ questions from the briefing:
Q Tony, can you tell us about Mrs. Bush’s skin cancer? How is she doing? And how was the decision reached not to disclose this publicly until questions were asked?
Q She is often an advocate for women’s health in the area of breast cancer or heart disease, advocating screenings, preventative care. Is she likely to talk about skin cancer in that way?
Q And she didn’t feel any obligation as a person of public status to talk about this?
Q Going back to Mrs. Bush, it seems that there are two things going on, in terms of not informing the public and the press. Which was it, was it that it was medical privacy that was the reason for not informing us, or was it that it was no big deal?
Mrs. Bush’s decision not to reveal the details of her skin condition is hardly a matter worthy of intense public scrutiny, especially when there are so many issues of real significance that the media could be covering.

I hope the reporters found time to ask about Miss USA too.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:21 pmDon’t you think the press corp is just tired of getting the same empty drivel for answers to the serious questions? Not that I agree with their lack of deligence, but reprorter burn out is a winning strategy for the White House isn’t it?
December 19th, 2006 at 5:23 pmif you think this is some big story – the fact that the press asked a few more questions about the first lady’s possible cancer than iraq (which we hear about the other 99% of the time) – you’re more delusional than anyone thought.
and shame on you Rebel In CA and Uncle_Ho, I doubt you would be so cruel if it was your mother/sister/daughter/aunt/etc.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:24 pmI understand the publicity – because really, skin cancer is something that is an actual risk and threat to people’s lives, unlike the irrational “war of terror”.
What is also interesting is how many times today did they mention Osama?
December 19th, 2006 at 5:26 pmWhat about her hair? What kind of dye does she use? Does only her hairdresser know for sure?
December 19th, 2006 at 5:28 pmI’m more interested in what the odds are that somebody could run a stop sign and then crash into a car and kill the driver and the driver who has died just happened to break up with the person who was driving the car that crashed into them. Astronomical odds, I would say. Laura Bush is a murderer.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:29 pmThe kind of skin cancer she had is not an actual risk or threat to people’s lives. It is localized and once removed gone forever. The scary kind of skin cancer is melanoma which can spread to other places but hers was not melanoma. I’ve had several removed. It’s not much different from having a wart removed and doesn’t deserve much if any concern at all.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:33 pmWingnut, I suppose you think killing and maiming thousands of innocents in Iraq is not cruel. What Bushitler and his sycophants are doing are crimes against humanity and crimes against peace. They should be hung for the war criminals they are. If not that, I have no qualms about their demise from “natural causes”.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:34 pmMust kill you that there is still a popular Republican out there. My prayers are with Laura.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:38 pm…except if Mrs. Bush became an advocate of skin cancer prevention she would have to acknowledge the dangers posed by the hole in the ozone layer… and and it’s a slippery slope to climate change from there!
December 19th, 2006 at 5:40 pmComment by wingnutt
You are a moron like the rest of your bunch. It is “skin Cancer” you idiot, and completely treatable these days. In my mom’s days it used to be called a mole.
Do you get it now.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:46 pmThe level of UV light today is higher than it was 50 or 100 years ago. This is due to a reduction of ozone in the earth’s atmosphere (the Ozone Hole). Ozone serves as a filter to screen out and reduce the amount of UV light that we are exposed to. With less atmospheric ozone, a higher level of UV light reaches the earth’s surface.
Will Laura support the Kyoto Protocol? Or will she play the stepford wife yet again and support all her husband’s positions?
December 19th, 2006 at 5:48 pmJust because the press asks a lot of questions about Laura Bush doesn’t mean she’s popular. All it means is that they have their heads up their asses as usual.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:49 pmLarry – she supports the Kryptonite protocol.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:50 pmShe thinks her guy is Superman, and doesn’t want that nasty green stuff anywhere near him.
Or will she play the stepford wife yet again and support all her husband’s positions?

Comment by Jason M. Hendler
My prayers are with future generations who will suffer because of her support for her husband’s deadly policies.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:55 pmI would suspect that the number of skin cancers removed from people in the United States daily far exceeds the number of US Service men and women killed in the Bush League Wars in the last four years. What is so important about one minor tumor on one extremely minor individual to cause such an uproar? (I have had six melanomas and one colon cancer removed without MSM news coverage, or anesthesia if you consider they produce the same result) Maybe the MSM are just practicing their technique in anticipation of the modern day “The Perils of Pauline” serial which will be the daily episodes of “The Goosings of Georgie” or “The Diddlings of DUHbya” from the Federal Pen in Leavenworth.
December 19th, 2006 at 5:56 pmHay trueblue, How ya doing.? My response will read…It’s a blight on the world that bush was born at all, either time one for real and one for show…..The worst person in the world resides in the black house on capital hill….Blessings
December 19th, 2006 at 5:58 pmLaura Bush is a fake and an asshole. Her lifted face (and false smile) is not attracitve, convincing, or uplifting. She represents women – a woman playing the subordinate to a man ( in fact she’s a sly one……….and not at al a prude, or deferential)–she represents the view that women should always smile and cannot be human, she is not a thinkier, and she is all about appearance, and franky…….she makes me sick. She represents A LOT of what is wrong with our culture. We, the American people, are reaping what we have sown. That is: A shallow, arrogant, deadened, and destructive culture.

My how the times have changed. Wingers used to scream about how “we win all the elections!”….Now they are content to have the wife of the most unpopular president in a generation not attacked because she has skin cancer.

I think that if it alerts people to the reality of skin cancer then it is indeed worthy of news.
A friend of mine was a nurse who specifically worked for a skin cancer unit. She said that skin cancer is an increasing problem. So, I think any media coverage of it is a positive for those who might have the lethal kinds (which they themselves cannot differentiate between or diagnose).

December 19th, 2006 at 6:07 pmDon’t panic guys.Just like a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, this “skin cancer” evidences Laura’s transformation into some sort of human- halloween pumpkin hybrid.

You are in true form! Your comment brings to mind your comment to a post of mine which you asked “Clyde, do you know whar you just said?” Unfortunately, I am having a senior moment and can’t remember. However, you may be currently in error, as I have been lead to believe the Bush twins had a father named Art Ificial Insemination due to a physical or psychological problem of DUHbya which would negate any position.
December 19th, 2006 at 6:08 pm#27
I would respond but “just sayin” might get her shorts in a bundle.
Not newsworthy. Just healthy and happy as a dead pig under a new wagon.
If the MSM can talk about Laura’s personal problems why do the trolls get upset when we greet one another? A touch of jealousy perhaps.
We shouldn’t pick on Laura as she is obviously retarded. She has to be dumber than DUBbya. Just look at who they chose to marry. However, giving Laura credit, the extortion applied by Senior Bitch Bush may have had some bearing on Laura’s choice.
December 19th, 2006 at 6:20 pmI don’t see the problem with reporting something like this. Big Media needs at least one “safe” story a day; however it is one more article on TP about Laura Bush’s face than we’ve seen on the disappearance of Habeas Corpus. (
December 19th, 2006 at 6:24 pmDidn’t Georgie Bush have a huge tumor growing on his back while he was debating John Kerry? Remember the 2004 Presidential debates? You could see it clearly under his suit jacket. Oh yeah, that was a listening device, not a cancer.
December 19th, 2006 at 6:30 pm“Why should we hear about melanomas and skin cancer and who has it? Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”

Exactly. Of all the men available to her, this was her first choice. She’d have been better off with Barney.
Didn’t she move out for a while? Or what that just an urban legend?
However, giving Laura credit, the extortion applied by Senior Bitch Bush may have had some bearing on Laura’s choice.

No it was: We are the a$$holes that give a sh!t about the public and care only about press as it fits.
Arrogance in its perfection.

December 19th, 2006 at 7:56 pmTHANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I was watching CNN last night and feeling so frustrated that they were going on and on about Laura Bush. I flipped to BBC News on the cable and dispensed with it in 15 seconds – and then went on to a good discussion of North Korea.
I presume that one of the reasons that this stale story was released yesterday was so that our brainless media would focus on this story rather than the disastrous Bush poll numbers released yesterday by CNN.
We have a USELESS mainstream media in this country. They fail to inform, to tell the truth or to focus on what’s important. We have “super-sized” junk for news.

But the Police were called and she was cleared. It didn’t take her 10 hours to do it either.
Some people need to quit grasping for straws. It makes them look pathetic.

Didn’t yo Momma ever told you the difference between figuratively and literally? Literally don’t kill nobody, ya’all.
It only took one two minute phone call from Senior Bitch Bush. Check the phone records friend, if they haven’t been erased or declared a part of National Security. I would suggest that you are the grasper and the graspee if that is the only straw you have to argue with.

I think she’s had plastic surgery, but I’m not sure about the Botox. If she uses it, she should leave it alone, too.

Before you go off hollerin’ “Ha, Ha, I got Ya” just check out the double negative.
You sure have advertised a lot for Botox. In a few weeks Madame Speaker will be Madam President! All thanks to you and Botox.
December 19th, 2006 at 9:07 pmClyde,
Yes, figuratively Laura Bush could be a murderer. Literally, Ted Kennedy is one. But a call from Daddy Joe fixed that for him.
None of the Bush family could cover for Laura in 1963 as her and GWB did not even know each other.
So, come on, show me a phone record.
December 19th, 2006 at 9:14 pm#53,You sure have advertised a lot for Botox. In a few weeks Madame Speaker will be Madam President!
Won’t happen, just watch. Madame Speaker wouldn’t dare flip flop on what she has said, would she?
December 19th, 2006 at 9:17 pmThe tumor is a metaphor for the President. Having him removed is the point.
December 19th, 2006 at 9:24 pmI found this question at the briefing curious: “Speaker-elect Pelosi has announced that she will be speaker of what she termed, and this is a quote, ‘The most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.’ My question: Did the President agree with Mrs. Pelosi’s announcement, in view of the reelection of Democrat Congressman Jefferson, Hastings, McDermott, Murtha, and Mollohan?”
Is Jeff Gannon back?
December 19th, 2006 at 9:30 pmThis on the same day when the “News Channels” of CNN, MSNBC, and FOX were providing live coverage of a news conference with Donald Trump and Miss USA, while at the same time Kofi Annan was giving his final news conference to C-SPAN.
And then the media wonders why so many have turned to the internet.
December 19th, 2006 at 9:53 pmi hope her nose rots off, the lying bitch.
December 19th, 2006 at 10:04 pmYeah I saw this on C-span and shut my Tv off.This was one of the Female reporters:”As a mother of 2 teenage daughters I can’t get them to wear sun screen so would the first lady consider doing a public service spot so that my kids would now start wearing sun screen?”
December 19th, 2006 at 10:22 pmDo you believe it ?That’s was so much more important than the joint chief disagreement with Bush.We are really in deep doo-doo.

I already told you about the phone record. You show me the sucker if the record hasn’t been erased.
“Please, have you ever been to Midland, Texas? Even today it is far from a thriving Metropolis, much less what it would have been like in 1963. Odds at that time of running into someone you know at 8p.m. on a Saturday night would be pretty believable.”
“None of the Bush family could cover for Laura in 1963 as her and GWB did not even know each other.”
Make up your mind Friend!
I can decipher your tergiversation of trivia to your detriment. It may be true that GWB (Gail Whitney Bronkowski, who was a chamber maid for Senior Bitch Bush (SBB)) or George W(DUHbya). Bush did not know Laura (in the Biblical sense) at the time but the SBB knew her by your own admission and it is to the SBB that I had reference when I assigned the phone call that you claim the records of same have been eradicated.
December 19th, 2006 at 10:28 pmYou guys have a great site here, but this post doesn’t belong. Whatever I may think of Mrs. Bush, she’s just had cancer. Leave it be.
December 19th, 2006 at 10:43 pmDon’t forget the media obsession with Miss USA also….Media think it is more important than news about Iraq. !!

December 20th, 2006 at 12:18 amPlease do not let the muslims gain a foothold in America.It leads to all kinds of communications between them which invariably leads to thoughts of Allah which eventually leads to sleeper cells which eventually leads up to terrorists which eventually leads to bombings which eventually leads to killings.This viscous cycle of Islam and Islamists coming to America must stop now.You let them get setup,and before you know it they are like rabbits or mice,they are everywhere speaking that foreign lingo like no one knows what they are thinking.When we actually do know exactly what they are thinking.They go into a trance and then start murmuring Allah`s name and before you know it that demon spirit has taken ahold of the boy and twisted his soul up in black sashcloth trying to eat it alive for all eternity.This is why muslims and the muslim faith must be stamped out on a worldwide basis.I am all for congressman and senators to keep us safe from the roving bands.Muslims are trying to gain a foothold onto christian ideals and territories.We will not stand for this.I have alot of faith in Mr. Reid.He will vote to keep this war going so we can stamp out terrorism and the Muslims.They are threatening Christianity.This will not stand.When the Roman Catholic Church tell any nation to go to war,they go to war.Nations have no choice in the Vatican`s decisions.They all obey the Vatican.Even the United States of America.Our Vatican is the most powerful govt.and the most powerful banking establishment in the world.You cannot change this.Therefore you must come on board to be spared from noncompliance with the Lord our God.You have no real choice.Not at the end of the day.It`s God Almighty or nothing.

Not so fast;I have one thing I’d like to add to this discussion.
Atleast twice in the last 50 posts,unbelievable said that she ‘doesn’t lie’.
Yet she told me,thus everyone else on this blog,last spring,that her Mother was dead.This turned out NOT to be TRUE.
Now answer your own question: What kind of person would say that about their own Mother just for the sake of winning an argument?
Now you all are beginning to see why I’ve had such acrimony with her in the past.
Just for the record,BnF, I never,ever,insulted her Mother,that’s if you were referring to something I might have said.
She told me her Mom was dead after I said she probably lives at home with her Mom.
All this can be found in the archives.
This is who you are dealing with,and she has no respect.

amen to that!!! (care to put the hypothesis to a test? —just kidding…)
Perhaps it is Unbelievable who is envious of my spirituality. She has derided the thought of breathing a cloud away, yet I’ve taught others to do so as well.
Perhaps she was offended because I was just kidding. After all, I have mentioned on these boards that I wear a kilt. And you know what they say about a woman scorned. I mean, to take what I wrote and somehow twist that into insinuating that I, a married man, was interested in having an adulterous affair with someone who lives a couple of thousand miles away takes either dimentia, a great imagination, or wishful thinking.
And Trueblue, as you can see, a shaman would say “Amen.â€

December 20th, 2006 at 4:55 amThe mainstream media is lame as hell….
December 20th, 2006 at 10:34 amWhile I sincerely despise Laura Bush (aka “the Joker”), seeing them focus on this the day after it’s released doesn’t strike me as that big of a deal. That is, it’s certainly getting more attention than it deserves, but it doesn’t horrify me or make me curse the media. It just looks like a surge of questions immediately after a new story is released.
Now, if it’s their number one question for the rest of the week….
December 20th, 2006 at 11:56 ama surgeon should do something about that frozen fake smile of hers. she is a lying piece of shit, just like her husband.
