GWB is "not" a very good listener, at least not when the missus is concerned. Politico's Mike Allen excerpts this passage from Laura Bush's memoir Spoken from the Heart, which drops on Tuesday:
"In 2004 the social question that animated the campaign was gay marriage. Before the election season had unfolded, I had talked to George about not making gay marriage a significant issue. We have, I reminded him, a number of close friends who are gay or whose children are gay. But at that moment I could never have imagined what path this issue would take and where it would lead.”
On page 306, the First Lady says the "strategy of making Mary Cheney’s private life an issue failed with voters in November of 2004."
Did it? If you say so, hon.
Is his family worth that much money that she stayed with him while he never listens to her and publicly called her "the lump in his bed".

That may possibly be the scariest book cover photo EVER!!!
I never really had any feelings about Laura because I always viewed her as a Stepford Wife!! She just seemed to be there in form, but not so much in spirit. I was always waiting for one of her circuits to go haywire and for smoke to start coming from her hair. I'll take her over Dumbya any day tho.

Laura, aint nobody ask you to write a memoir! I'm angry that your going to try to upstage our CURRENT first lady by writing this "semi" tell all book. Thanks but no thanks.
