First Lady Laural Bush is really pissed about people doubting hubby's story about his National Guard Service. Sorry Laura, you are in no position to know the truth except for what George tells you. You didn't know George during those years in question.
In 1977, three months after meeting her, George Bush married Laura Welch (born 11/4/1946), a devout west Texas school librarian. She managed the household and raised twin teenage daughters, Jenna and Barbara (born 11/25/1981).
George spent some footloose years after college before settling into responsible marriage (in fact, long after his marriage and fatherhood) and politics. He entered Yale in 1964 and when Vietnam loomed, joined the Air National Guard in 1972 through 1973.
Bush's choices did not include a Rhodes scholarship, Canada or the draft and he may have received special favoritism as the son of a Congressman.
Bush called 1968 to 1973 his "wandering years," working on a senate campaign, trying out sales, as a youth advisor to inner-city kids, along with a high share of drinking and carousing. No where is there any record that Bush stopped drinking and carousing during his National Guard service, which included learning to fly jet planes, hopefully sober. We know he had DWI problems, including arrest. I shudder to think of him at the controls of a jet plane.

Laura Bush has been dragooned into a job for which she is culturally and tempermentally unsuited. She's a loyal wife and a lousy spokesperson. I feel very sorry for her being forced to parade her illusions in public.
Only one.
Am I the only one that feels nauseated by this vapid, person?

I doubt it.
She is certainly not shy about saying how well behaved she is.
I don't understand why the right feels the need to tout, "abstinence" as though it is a novel idea that no one has ever thought of before. She acts as though no one knew that if you don't have sex you won't get pregnant or sexual diseases. All along teaches and others who teach sexual education also say that abstinence is the safest prevention against sexual diseases and pregnancy, they just also say that if you do have sex, practice safe sex. So, I don't understand what the issue of contention is.
I would think that all the idiots out there having kids while they are teenagers because they don't listen. Maybe if they actually listened to what was being said the teen pregnancy rate would not be so high.

McGentrix, Not all idiots are teenagers.
We would have better success finding a pill to repress the sex drive hormones of teenage boys and girls. Abstinence and hormones are in a procreation war. The world's history shows that hormones win hands down.
