Here is an account of the "accident" where Laura Bush killed her classmate and ex-boyfriend Michael Douglas. It has been covered up for years and even now most people haven't heard about it or don't believe it. It took an episode of Family Guy to bring it out in the open. Can you imagine the outrage if Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton had run a stop sign and killed someone?

At about 7:30 p.m. on November 6, 1963, Laura Welch [now Bush] left her family home at 2500 Humble Ave. in Midland, Texas, after some sort of incident. She headed north on Lanham St. and, after four blocks, turned right and stopped to pick up her girlfriend, Judy Dykes, at 2409 Neely Ave. A couple of blocks east, Laura headed north again on North Garfield St. and headed out of town in the direction of her boyfriend's house. Michael Dutton Douglas, also 17 and also a senior at Lee High School, left his home before Laura got into the vicinity. He left with his dad close behind, perhaps in pursuit. At the north edge of town, Laura turned her big new Chevrolet Impala left again, heading east on farm-to-market (FM) road FM 868. Meanwhile, Michael was leaving his home on Solomon Drive, heading east toward the highway, state route 349, a couple hundred yards away. From here, he would turn right, south, on 349 toward the fateful meeting at FM 868. If Laura or Judy was watching, they could see Michael's car, or at least its headlights, on his street, Solomon Dr., which paralleled FM 868 and was the first street to the north. Later, Laura reported she didn't even see his headlights even as he, headed south, approached the intersection with FM 868. In the 1000 yards to the intersection, he had time to accelerate to the legal speed limit of 65 mph. The police report said it was dark but that, otherwise, driving conditions were ideal. It is easy to overlook a car in daytime, but on a dark night, it is hard not to notice the headlights of an approaching car, about the only light around, except for what one's headlights illuminate. That night, Laura didn't see the headlights of Michael's Corvair. As she approached the state highway doing 50-something miles per hour, according to the police report, she didn't see the stop sign either, she said. Michaels little Corvair was no match for Laura's new land barge. The collision swung his car around fully three-quarters of a turn and set it skidding 50 feet to the east, in the same direction as Laura's car was heading. It was like a billiard ball approaching from your left, and you hit it and it goes more or less straight away from you. Michael died of a broken neck, at the scene. His father, who was following him, arrived seconds after the wreck. Laura was unhurt and Judy had insignificant injuries. The police report noted that Laura committed two violations of traffic laws that contributed to the wreck: "Disregard stop sign or signal" and "[illegible]" In the box labeled "Is investigation complete?", the police officer checked "No." The officer went through all the proper motions: measured the skid marks, diagrammed the wreck, went to the hospital to check on the dead (Michael) and others (Laura and Judy). He took statements from the survivors and photos of the wreckage. The next day, he filed his report. He did not issue a citation to Laura Welch. The investigation apparently was never completed. No grand jury was convened. Laura had killed the most popular boy at school, more popular than Tommy Franks, who later would become an Army general and lead US forces into the invasion of Iraq. She stayed home until about Christmas. Outside of that, she has never missed a beat, certainly not a class reunion, where she still shows up and dances with all comers as First Lady of the United States. Less than two years later, the heartbroken Douglas family - mother, father, and sister of Michael - moved out of town. It is not known whether they received any compensation for Michael's death. Certainly Laura's parents, Laura and Jenna H. Welch could afford to pay it, not to mention their insurance company. Welch built five of Midlands housing developments, which made him a wealthy man by small-town standards. To this day residents of Midland talk of the wreck in hushed tones. Laura Bush's mother has expressed thankfulness that it was not her daughter that was killed, since the Welches only had one child. Laura Bush has never, never acknowledged what the police report noted: Her violation of law had contributed to a young man's death. Never. Media reports have appeared in "Reader's Digest" and other places with incorrect facts that would seem to be ameliorating circumstances. For example: Michel Douglas was driving an open Jeep, from which he could easily be thrown. The wreck happened right after a thunderstorm, which would imply that the pavement was wet and slick. The fact is, Michael was driving a closed sedan that was very small and no match for Laura's much larger car. The pavement was dry, as the officer check the box on the police report form. Laura never bothered to correct these and other misstatements, including the one that she was not Michael's girlfriend. She will not acknowledge the accident or even her relationship with the victim even to this day. The true facts came out when the police report was released in 2000, 37 years after the fact, also after the Midland city attorney refused to release the report. The Texas attorney general compelled the release of the report after a newspaper in another Texas town, Odessa, filed a Freedom of Information Act request.

Laura Bush Killed a Guy

Laura Bush

Everytime this woman opens her mouth I wonder what drug she's is taking and if I can get enough to get me through the next 138 days. Here is a quote from a speech she gave at the RNC in defense of her husband's presidency:
"In Afghanistan and Iraq, 50 million people are now living in freedom. And let's not forget that President Bush kept the American people safe."

I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of the 50 million people living in Iraq and Afghanistan would disagree with you Laura. And if I remember correctly, 911 happened during you husband's presidency so he didn't exactly keep the American people safe. Your husband and his other wife Condi ignored the warnings that might have prevented the attacks on September 11th. Now more Americans have died as a result of your husband's lies about Iraq than lost their lives on 911. Not a very good record.

Laura Bush

Laura Bush warned democrats to stay away from anti Palin sexism in an interview with fixed news today.
Laura, I know you aren't as stupid as you husband but apparently some of it has rubbed off on you. People who care about this country are not going to vote for Palin because of her lack of experience and her views on issues that most of us care about.
Here is a short list of some of her views and accomplishments:
1. Wants to teach creationism in school.
2. Wants to take away a woman's right to choose.
3. Against stem cell research.
4. Against benefits for same sex partners.
5. Doesn't think global warming is man made.
6. Supports drilling for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge (there's a reason it's called a refuge)
7. Opposes a windfalls profit tax on oil companies.
8. Hates polar bears (ok, I made that up, but she does want to take them off the endangered list)
9. Claims to be a fiscal conservative but put her little town of Wasilla (about 9,000 residents) 20 million in debt while mayor.
10. Supported the bridge to nowhere before she didn't support it.
11. Troopgate scandal (google it)
12. The gun and hunting thing.

For all you people who still think Republicans are the family value party: If she is so into children and mothering how could she return to work 3 days after giving birth to her latest child? I don't know anyone who does that. Especially after giving birth to a child with special needs. And who is going to parent her growing brood of children including her grandchild, conceived out of wedlock by her 17 year old daughter, if she is elected VP or God help us becomes president. Family values isn't just about having children, it's about taking care of them after they are born and taking care of the world so that all children have a chance. Ignoring global warming and bombing the hell out of innocent families, even if they aren't your faith (Pentecostal, btw), isn't good family values.


It's not sexism that cost Hillary the nomination (for me it was her support of your husband's stupid war) and it's not sexism that will cost McCain/Palin the election. It's the issues. So just STFU. Hasn't your family caused enough damage? Go back to Crawford or wherever you came from and take your skanky daughters and your mass murderer of a husband with you.
(Sorry Crawford)
