Even political women go to the bathroom in packs.
Is it for a pearl necklace convention?
I’d be happy to give a pearl necklace to any of ‘em.
Eww. Just, eww.
“How come there’s never a line for the presidency?”
Sane people who would be good at the job don’t want it.
In the future we may have to draft someone…
I intend to go into hiding before I can be drafted. /ego
It’s because Senator Larry Craig is in the mensroom, frantically waving his hands at you under the stall!
Now THAT’s funny !
Notice Rosalynn Carter hiding in the background ( she’s afraid someone might recognize her). I’d be embarrassed too if Jimmy Carter were my husband !
She’s hiding? Right out there in the open?
If you’re talking about her blurriness, “depth of field” — look it up.
It’s her personal Stealth field
Nancy Reagan, however, does appear to be hiding. She must be the embarrassed one.
Why? Jimmy is a good man, and he was a better president than Bush. He just happened to get hit with a lot during his presidency. Then Reagan campaign managers conspired to delay the release of the hostages in Iran, making Carter look incompetent. Everyone seems to love to badmouth Jimmy, but few people can come up with any specifics as to what he did wrong.
We do- you just ignore them !
First of all, it was Carter that instigated the Iran Hostage Crisis by allowing the Shah of Iran come to the US for cancer treatment. Secondly, he allowed the military to try and infiltrate Iran to secure the release of the hostages, which turned into an epic goat rope. Thirdly, he drove the economy into the ground which resulted in the worst oil crisis seen to date. I will give him major kudos for the Isreali/Egypt Peace Accords, but beyond that, he was not a good President. Oh, and just so there’s no mistake, I’m not apologizing for Bush either. Alot of what I just outlined about Carter can be applied to Bush as well, except for the kudos.
I cannot speak from experience — I was only around for the last year of Carter — but I’m told that the oil crisis came from OPEC deciding they’d put an embargo on the US; I don’t see how our economy would have affected that.
I do respect Carter’s willingness to look at Islam to have the understanding of what is and isn’t a religious matter and trying to be respectful of others’ beliefs, as well as his alternative energy plan, and am still offended by Reagan taking the solar panels off the White House roof.
Actually I have a laundry-list of reasons I despise Ronnie, but most of them are learned after the fact, though as a kid the monster under the bed/inside the closet/outside my window always looked just like Reagan. Dude scared the shit out of me when I was four; I chalk it up to the ability to sense who has and who hasn’t a soul.
And you don’t suspect that OPEC was directing the embargo at the U.S.? I think you should go back and do a bit more research on it. The embargo was a direct result of the Iranian Revolution that Carter had a direct hand in. The embargo effected our economy as the price of crude more then doubled. I was around during those days and I can tell you that waiting for hours for gas was not fun. And what about the hostage crisis? Are you going to ignore it?
As I said before, I am speaking only out of observation. Your comment made it appear that the embargo was a result of the economy and not the other way around. I am rather disappointed that the push for alternative fuels fell flat after the embargo was lifted.
And no, I’m not going to dismiss the hostage situation; it was a snafu of ignominious proportions; I will point out, however, that I’m certain every President has a similarly gauged snafu in his closet.
The point of my comment was a sense of depression that the American people only seem eager to change when they are greatly inconvenienced, but quickly fall back to complacency rather than continue the push towards what is a wiser goal.
Damn it, herb, stop it! I hate it when you’re being reasonable. Ok, I get the gist of what you’re saying and I won’t disagree. There was so much going on in the 70’s that Carter may very well have turned out to be a good President. Unfortunately, he was O.B.E. (Overcome By Events).
Eddie, I have to take exception to points two and three. On point two, if his raid had been successful, we’d regard him as a God. The reason it wasn’t successful, I feel, had more to do with our military’s inexperience in desert warfare than anything else. On point three, the oil crisis was caused by OPEC trying to teach America who had the power in our relationship (Google: 1976 oil embargo). The economy was already poised for a tailspin because of out of control spending on the Vietnam conflict, and the embargo pushed us over the edge. He also declared, in 1977, that we needed to divorce ourselves from foreign oil, and implemented a lot of programs to encourage wind and solar power generation (including covering the white house in solar panels). It was Reagan and the precursors of the current regime who came into power and gutted these programs, bowing to the wishes of the Saudi royal family. These Republicans remain enthralled to the Saudi royals; a major cause, I believe, of our problems today. How much further along would we be if we had encouraged renewable energy for the last thirty years instead of bowing to the Saudis?
Thank you for recognizing his role in the Israeli/Egypt peace accords, though. You are a gentleman, sir!
PM, on point two you would be correct. However, since Carter was Commander In Chief and appreoved the raid, he was ultimately responsible. On point three, the oil embargo was 1979, google Carter Oil Embargo for a bit more information. I was around for both the ‘73 and ‘79 oil crisis and I assure you it was mass mayhem. I do agree that there were economic problems because of Vietnam, but by ‘79 we were completely done with that entire conflict. As for renewable energy, at the time the technology wasn’t far enough advanced to consider that type of alternative. I’m not going to go so far as to say Carter was the worst, that just might have to go to Hoover or Harding. But, he will not be remembered in history as one of the better one’s either. In fact, of the 43 Presidents we have had, he ranked 34th, whereas Reagan was ranked 6th (WSJ 2005 Poll.)
I don’t know about the statement regarding technology. Americans did figured out how to adapt the diesel engine and internal-combustion engine run off gasoline rather than peanut oil and corn alcohol, respectively, and all because Standard Oil said “Make it so.”
Ok, maybe the technology was there but I doubt it was cost effective. Having the technology and being able to use it are two different things.
Ok, I didn’t have all the facts on the ‘79 crisis, but it wasn’t, in fact, an embargo. Thanks for the direction, nonetheless, now I know (per Wiki) the crisis was a result of oil worker strikes in Iran, following which the Shah left for the US.
It’s true that the science for renewable energy was primitive in the ’70s, but an artificially created market for renewable energy would have sparked private industry to advance the state of the art much more quickly than we have.
The problem is, there were several people that invented alternatives that could have been implemented and not be that expensive. I can’t remember exactly what they were now since we’re 30 years on, but the big three (GM, Ford, Chrysler) conspired to bury the technology. If I remember, they weren’t exactly fuel alternatives, but more fuel conservation. Although, I seem to recall one form was methane?
Why does the younger bush look like the old joker?
Because she’s secretly Ceasar Romero?
WHY SO SERIOUS?
Lol, totally-looks-like win
Hands off Jimmy and Rosalynn!! The’re the only sane poeple we’ve ever had in the White House. They try to do the right thing. Jimmy is a politician but a good man nonetheless.
ROFLMAO!!! Hold on to that thought and let us know how it works out for you. I have no bones to pick with Rosalyn, she is a good lady!
Actually, Eisenhower was also a pretty decent guy, especially for a Republican (jk). If you can find it, the audio of his final address before leaving office is eerily prescient, as it describes the perils of allowing our economy to succumb to the military-industrial complex!
Dunno how Ike was brought up, but as a flaming Liberal I have no problems saying that he’s guy I’d nominate for Presidential Mench.
But Jimmy had lust in his heart and is the only US president to be physically assaulted by a bunny. I’m not sure, but I may have just supported your statement more than I intended.
Lmao
I am going to be the sanest person ever in the white house. i am iam i am!
only 22 more years to go untill i can run!!!
The more important question is, what is up with the matching purple suit/lipstick combo…
It is pretty bad…
I totally LOLd at the line for the bathroom. Some of the best ladies must need to find more toilets. FAIL.
It never occurred to me that first ladies would have to wait in line to use a public restroom alongside their subjects/constituents/electors/etc. I always figured they would be wisked away to a secret VIP washroom somewhere, or escorted past the front of the line to an open stall door by Secret Service personnel.
cause we don’t take so darn long to go to the bathroom every time.
Is it just me or does Laura Bush look like her skins made of plastic in this photo.
no line for men’s room because they don’t wash their hands
