While Canada has already had a female Prime Minister, she was not married at the time, so we had no title issues over the guy. We don’t actually seem to have any official title for the spouse of a prime minister anyway (expect Prime Minister’s spouse, which is gender neutral). Oh well. ---

Or Milly Helper from “DvD show”… 🙂 Mrs Carter’s first name was Rosalynn (still is, AFAIK). The 70s were not a good time for fashion. Laura Bush seems to want to bring back frumpy in a big way. ---

> [@Jodi](#): > > Laura needs better foundation garments. Translation: She needs a better bra, one that hikes the First Ladies up about 2 to 3 inches on her rib cage. She also should stop choosing her dresses from Vern Yoder’s House of Amish Schoolmarm Dresses Made Of Hemp. I tried to laugh in a way that wouldn’t freak out my spousal unit. I had the same thoughts as you. Darn lady, get some Fredericks! Laura looks boring and short in comparison. Laura’s boobage line is at Michelle’s waist level. ---

BTW, I think that Laura is a very atractive lady, she just needs better clothes. ---

Damn, he does have a nice ass… Yep, that’s my President! And seriously Mrs. Bush- no outfit is complete without decent foundation garments. For god’s sake, she looks terrible.
