Laura Bush Hosts Today Show: Asked About The President's Dancing Skills

Laura Bush guest hosted the first half hour of the "Today" show Tuesday. Twin daugthers Jenna and Barbara were on set to encourage their mother.

The hosts of Today tried to get a rise out of the First Lady with a couple goofy dancing videos of the President.

The first segment, Curry asked the Laura Bush, "What do you think of those moves?" as they showed her a clip of President George W. Bush "cutting a rug" in New Orleans Monday.

"I think he's practicing to dance at his daughter's wedding," Laura Bush said with a smile.

"He can actually dance," she added as they showed another clip of the first lady and president dancing. Then she said with a pause, "Oh, I don't know for sure."

[Michellelover]

What is your point? I saw your pictures before

[elr50]

Of what use is Michellelover?

[Michellelover]

Is that question posed because I have an intelligent argument and you have the mentality of a knuckledragging neanderthal?

[GerryS]

michellelover, did you forget your meds today?

[tbrnotb]

Enough Michellelover....you've made a total fool of yourself. Time to step away from the keyboard and get a life!

[Michellelover]

what happened to elr50 that you 2 morons are trying to rescue him. Has his vocabulary ran out

[Michellelover]

Amazing how you can resort to only inane comments about meds and that nonsense. You people are such zeros it is incredible. Are you folks the intellectual elitists that the left is so famous for? Intellectual paupers is what you are

[smre88]

she's fine (not fine fine), but fine. can't say much bad about her, its the stupid husband

[Michellelover]

I second your entire comment only for Michelle Obama instead of Laura and yes the stupid husband part too. But she is fine

[Vyvjala]

Take his @ss to iraq and let him dance in a mine field

[GrandmaSue]

Building "green" was good enough for them in 1999 but not in his policies that effect all the rest of us.

[Michellelover]

as you continue to be duped by snake oil salesman Algore. Did you know is that dopey movie of his he used scenes from Day After Tomorrow and claimed they were really glaciers melting as reported by ABC news, Oh but we can't trust them they asked the Messiah and Lord Obama a hard question and he folded like a cheap suit. Better not trust them

[Michellelover]

Bush has beat you haters again. Your hatred is spewing here and he just moves on. Once again you take a back seat. Your stupidity is only surpassed by your hatred

[chronic]

He stupid does this make you feel smart?


Bush's disapproval rating worst of any president in 70 years
By Susan Page
USA TODAY

WASHINGTON " President Bush has set a record he'd presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.

[blueinannarbor]

You're absolutely correct: If the race is to complete irrelevance, Bush has beaten all of his detractors. You're absolutely correct, he 'just moves on': to more and more meaninglessness. Anyone who ever cast a vote for this person has to or should be seriously considering their sense of judgment.

[tonyrich]

Who cares what the Stepford wife thinks, about the idiot's ability to do anything except resign and take Cheney with him.

[zerocoma]

And Nero fiddles as Rome burned.. thanks george you useless sack of crap.

republicans are a threat to national peace and prosperity.

[nomorestatusquo1]

Classy - another 'gotcha' obviously designed as yet another attempt to embarrass. And judging by these comments, the classless Curry found her target audience.

BDS would be funny if it were so damn sad - George Bush got a hero's welcome in Africa (for good reason as noted by Bono and others) and this video is the only coverage the Today show was willing to give the trip.

But, like I said, Curry knows her target audience.

[Michellelover]

Why are you people, and I use the term people so vile against Laura Bush? Are you that filled with hatred for Bush that you must attack her too. We all know she has absolutely nothing to do with policy. What a bunch of 3rd rate losers

[tonyrich]

She is married to him, enough said

[Michellelover]

So should we hate your mother because she gave birth to the like of you? That is your moronic argument. Man people are stupid on this thread

[elr50]

Michellelover, why are YOU so stupid? I hate Laura Bush and the entire Bush Family because they have created this monster and supported the rape of our country for the past 8 years. You, my dear, are truly stupid. I bet you were among those attacking Hillary Clinton when Bill was in the White House. Laura has nothing to do with policy? I doubt that. Georgie is not smart enough to go beyond "My Pet Goat" reading level, and I don't think YOU are either.

[Michellelover]

I must be stupid to try to engage a pea brain such as yourself in an intellectual debate It is doing battle with an unarmed man

[mddragon]

If this is what you consider intellegent debate, I feel soory for you.

[Michellelover]

When you have at least a tiny bit of an intelligent argument get back to me you dope

[GrandmaSue]

But she could have. She could have said "George, we believe in building green, why don't we share that with the nation in policy". She got him to quite drinking so don't tell me she has no influence with him.
I do agree not a reason to be vile, but certainly a reason not to trust another person. How do you treat people you don't trust? Teach us Michellelover and perhaps we can emulate you.

[Michellelover]

Do you trust Algore? The snake oil salesman that used computer generated scenes in his movie and portrayed them as actual glaciers falling into the sea. I don't revile Tipper because her husband is a fraud. She has not given reason that I am aware of that she can not be trusted.
I just think the benefit of the doubt is certainly warranted until some proves they can not be trusted

[GrandmaSue]

What's important is Laura and George trusted him and built green and yet wouldn't share that with the country as a valid thing to do. And reading your other nasty posts tells me more about you than I care to hear. So sorry I engaged you in debate.

[99hockeyman]

If she said nothing and did nothing to help promote her husband I do not think that she should deserve this type of ridicule. Mrs Bush, however, helps carry the water for her husband. She goes across the world in public support and no matter what you think, she acts as another cheerleader for him. She should get no sympathy from anyone.

[Michellelover]

She is his wife you moron. The 1st Lady always travels the world to promote good will not policy. Your hatred is mind boggling, but I take solace in the fact it eats all you haters up and for 7=years although I did not agree with many of his policies it was enjoyable to watch that dummie run wrings around all of you. That is because you are so blinded by hate this dope of a man made all the brilliant hard left intellectuals look like total buffoons. He beat you time and again. You jerks are laughable

[99hockeyman]

First of all, the only moron is you. She promotes policy and the agenda that George wants her to push. Social Security, No Child Left Behind, the Iraq war, and so on and so forth. George Bush has not set policy. He has been a tool for a group of thugs, thieves and rouges who have hijacked this country. For fools like yourself that has supported this criminal, you are as much to blame for this country being in the condition it is in, and if there is karma, mister you will get yours.

[mddragon]

Intellegent debate again I see.

[Navy26Yrs]

Her HS boyfriend's family might disagree with the Miss Innocent meme.

Chapaquidik anyone? Anyone?

[nancytheragingliberal]

Creep. Millions of our teen-age soldiers with no legs, no arms, no life and here is Mr. Wonderful dancing. This "president" has no soul, no compassion, no nothing. Zero. Americans voted for him twice. What were they thinking, as he will go down as the worst president in American history.

[99hockeyman]

Bush dancing in New Orleans. Jesus, what kind of moron is he.

[chronic]

The giggling murderer wines, dines and dances all over the world as Americans stuggle to make ends meet.


What a national disgrace and embarrassment.

[batgirlevi]

Ick.

[studlyguy]

America burns ,while the Bush crime family dances.

[mam]

NBC = Nothing But Crap. What a waste of time the Today Show has become. Bryant Gumbel could be irritating as hell, but at least when he was the host there was some actual news content, and even some analysis, every once in a while (remember the "After 8" segment? anyone?).

[WWWexler]

This show is being filmed in Stepford, isn't it?
