If You Can't Trust Pravda...

If you can't trust Pravda who can you trust?

Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper wrote with reference to The National Examiner tabloid that George and Laura Bush were planning a divorce after the presidential election in the USA.

According to the supermarket tabloid, George and Laura Bush hardly ever speak to each other. George feels very unhappy and does not want Laura to leave him. However, the newspaper wrote, Laura is tired of everything; she is determined to live her own life.

The couple still keeps their relationship alive just because they are contractually obliged to stay together during George W. Bush’s presidency; it is not a matter of feelings at all.

And the possible reason for the breakup:

The tabloid dwells upon the reasons which could lead to the possible divorce. The newspaper believes that George . W. Bush has been having an affair with US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. A former employee of the presidential administration told The National Examiner that Laura Bush once spent her night in a hotel to stay away from the White House.

I haven't seen too much about the passing of Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson ...well let's put it this way, it is nothing compared to the weeks of morning the nation will go through when Nancy Reagan dies...a little unfair, don't you think?

I will not play the "Lady Bird" games either...any man (and I don't care if he was President) who re-names or names his wife and children (Linda Bird Johnson and Luci Baines Johnson) after his own initials is not to be respected...forget Vietnam.

That being said, in 25 or 30 years when Laura Bush passes away, I don't see the Crawford, TX ranch becoming public property.
