Laura Bush: “I’m A Desperate Housewife”

Washington (AP) - The president planned a speech late Saturday at the 91st annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but was quickly "interrupted" by his wife in an obviously planned ploy.

"Not that old joke, not again," she said to the delight of the audience. "I've been attending these dinners for years and just quietly sitting there. I've got a few things I want to say for a change."

The president sat down and she proceeded to note that he is "usually in bed by now" and said she told him recently, "If you really want to end tyranny in the world you're going to have to stay up later."

She outlined a typical evening: "Nine o'clock, Mr. Excitement here is sound asleep and I'm watching `Desperate Housewives'." Comedic pause. "With Lynne Cheney. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a desperate housewife."

But she said they obviously were destined to be together as a couple because "I was the librarian who spent 12 hours a day in library and yet somehow I met George."


I'm a Desperate Housewife? Not something I would expect out of Laura Bush... he he

Mrs. Laura has a more natural speaking manor and sense of humor. She can and does do an excellent job behind the podium and in one on one speaking. The left hates that.

Why be surprised? A woman who would kill her boyfriend is capable of most anything?

Laura Welch, later Mrs. AWOL George, killed her boyfriend, Michael Douglas.

The Associated Press
Thursday, March 2, 2000; 7:15 p.m. EST
PROVIDENCE, R.I. –– Laura Bush, wife of GOP presidential candidate George W. Bush, on Thursday recalled the pain of a 1963 accident that killed her boyfriend, saying “it was crushing.”

“All I can say about that (is) it was a very, very, tragic accident I was involved in when I was 17 years old, almost 40-something years ago,” Bush said. “It was a terrible accident. It was terrible for everyone involved.”

Bush said the grief remains.

“I know this as an adult, and even more as a parent, it was crushing ... for the family involved and for me as well,” she said.

Bush would not comment further and quickly resumed talking about her husband.

The accident occurred Nov. 5, 1963, when Bush was talking to a friend while she was driving to a party in her hometown of Midland, Texas, the New York Post reported.

At an intersection, she apparently failed to see her boyfriend, Mike Douglas, driving south. The vehicles collided and Douglas was thrown from his doorless Jeep, breaking his neck. He died instantly.

Midland officials would not release the full accident report, referring Freedom of Information requests for the document to the attorney general of Texas. He has until May 15 to decide if he will make the report public

There are a number of aspects to this story that are very fishy.

Laura Bush has said she wasn’t driving. The police report is very clear she was.  Laura Bush said it was raining and the roads were slick. Again, the police report says it was dry and clear. She said Douglas was riding in an open jeep. The police report says he was in a Corvair sedan.

Too bad the guy wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, would have saved his life.

Too bad Laura was likely intoxicated and elected to drive under the influence.

Jadegold, friends don’t let friends comment drunk.

I thought Laura’s comments were pretty hilarious.  Just surprised she said them in this era of the P.C. police.

Again, look at the Janklow case.

And why did Pickle’s story “evolve” over time to include obvious falsehoods?

Jesus, I’m agreeing with you Jadegold.  Laura Bush is obviously a coke-head murderer.  Your mass of speculation and innuendo has convinced me.

How she has avoided jail all these years is beyond me.

Janklow was involved in a case very similar to Pickles’--though there’s nothing to support the notion Janklow knew the person he killed.

Otherwise, the circumstances are very similar: Janklow and Pickles blow through a stop sign at an intersection, strike someone, and kill them.

Janklow gets a manslaughter rap.

Pickles doesn’t even get arrested or a ticket.

Very fishy.

It gets worse in that Pickles’ version of events changes as time goes by--it was rainy, she wasn’t driving, Douglas wasn’t a boyfriend, etc.

There are a number of aspects to this story that are very fishy.

And said fishiness is, of course, more than enough basis to go about the internet claiming that the First Lady killed her former boyfriend.  Apparently “innocent until proven guilty” is an ideal Jadegold only grants to hose he agrees with politically.

The story is fishy though.  Clearly right-wing time travellers from Texas arrived on the scene shortly after the accident and used their political influence to protect the future First Lady, who was probably snorting cocaine off the dash of her car before the accident, from prosecution.

Yes, very fishy.  No doubt the vast right wing conspiracy was protecting Laura before she was ever married to a Republican.  They knew Laura would one day marry George (using a magical crystal ball probably developed by Exxon and fueled by the blood of civil rights protesters) and with this knowledge swooped down to protect her from rightful prosecution.

Because it all a big conspiracy.

By the way, are tin foil hats itchy?  How do you keep it on your head?  Tape?  Paper clips?

http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/laura.asp

is a decent start to the story about Laura Welch’s car accident.

As far as her relationship to Douglas, it is unclear- I’ve heard Boyfriend, Fiance, jilted/spurned lover. I don’t think the source of these descriptions is all from the 1st lady either.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/excerpts/2003-12-23-perfect-wife_x.htm

But in any event, she was not charged, not even ticketed for running through the stop sign, although Douglas’s death was the second fatality at that same intersection that year. The police reportedly found no evidence of drinking or excessive speed, although the report is inconclusive as to whether she was tested for alcohol. Perhaps the local authorities regarded the whole episode the same way that Laura herself described it to me, as “a tragic accident.”

Running a stop sign resulting in the death of another is negligent homicide
or manslaughter. Most any prosecutor or police officer will agree. It’s also true that those laws were not as vigorously enforced in 1963.

Please Help Us!

We have tried everything to reach President Bush. Maybe someone can get this to his wife Laura for us.

Below is a copy of a letter written to the Honorable Judge Brenda P. Murray. I feel that in the reading of this letter that you will get a better estimation of the gravidity of the situation, than if I were to try to spell out everything from the beginning..

However, for clarification here is brief introduction. The letter is written to the Honorable Judge Brenda P. Murray in response to action that has been taking by the SEC against a new small diamond mining company based in Las Vegas called CMKM Diamonds Inc. (CMKX). 56,000 shareholders have invested money, into this stock, that they cannot afford to loose. It is estimated that the shares would be worth in excess of one dollar per share today, if this dilution caused by the counterfeiting of shares had not occurred.

Instead of our government’s Security Exchange Commission protecting the existing shareholders as they are required to do by governing laws. They are trying to delist the company from being able to trade shares on the market. If this happens, the end result will be that the shares held by shareholders will become worthless. Section one article eight of the Constitution, requires Congress to punish those who counterfeit money or securities.

In trying to battle this situation, and in order to raise the working capital that was needed. The company had to issue billions of shares.  This counterfieting of shares is hurting the company, shareholders and the stock market, and our government appears to be taken the side of those who are doing this crime.

Here is that letter..

The Honorable Brenda P. Murray
Chief Administrative Law Judge
450 5th Street, N.W. Mail Stop 1106
Washington, D.C. 20549-1106

Your Honor:

This letter is written in the hopes that the information I provide will help in your decision regarding CMKM Diamonds. I have been a shareholder in this company for over 18 months only after doing extensive due dilligence. My partners and I have gone to great lengths spending hundreds of dollars and manhours in order to follow the paper trails associated with the claims held by CMKX. I have researched miles of paper in documents, laws, contracts, deeds and have come to one conclusion, CMKX is a viable company.

I have watched CMKX trade shares in the billions on a daily basis. I have seen the company raise their authorized shares to a staggering 800 billion shares. I have watched the company state that the outstanding shares is 703,518,875,000. Many things on the surface seemed out of the ordinary until further researched. The definitive 14c filed by CMKX in Feb 2003 states some interesting things. I hope you have reviewed it for what it truly is, a contract. In that contract there are a group of people listed as “the sellers”. These people hold not more than 4.9% of CMKX individually and a total of 85.8% of CMKX collectively. What I find interesting is that these shares are deemed “unaccessable” according to the contract until registered with the SEC. That means to me that 85.8% or 603,619,194,750 of this companies 703,518,875,000 shares cannot even trade, that leaves 99,899,680,250. I’m sure it has struck you as strange that the DTCC claims to have 404 billion shares under CEDE and Co. control. Another thing I find a little strange, which has probably piqued your interest as well, is that under contract, Mr. Casavant cannot divulge this information unless he is court ordered to do so. I’m sure you figured that out when he pleaded the fifth amendment in your court.

I also find it interesting that Ameritrade has halted the ability for its clients to buy CMKX as a corporate decision due to this investigation. Were you aware that Ameritrade holds 7.9 % of Knight Trading Group? If you knew that, I’m sure you knew that Knight Trading group stated in Feb 2004 they traded 3.6 billion CMKX shares a day, which accounted for 44% of their average trading volume. 19 trading days in Feb 2004 at 3.6 billion shares is a total of 68,480,000,000 shares At that time the o/s was 100 billion. Thats a whole lot more than 4.2%. Wouldn’t you agree?

CMKX is now in court facing the SEC who is adamant about deregistration of its securities; and in their first response after the hearing, the SEC has called the form 15 filed by CMKX fraudulant. I’m sure you are thinking “why would the SEC wait 2 years to enforce this?” Well, me too. According to Reg 12g, if a company has less than 300 shareholders of record or more than 300 but less than 500 shareholders of record and less that 10 million dollars in assetts on the last day of the 3 most recent fiscal years, the company then may file for deregistration under the rule by filing a form 15. OK, in court it was stated that 360 people became shareholders of record in Feb of 2003, and it was also stated that there were 692 shareholders of record in July 2003. How many were there on Dec 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively. Those numbers and those dates are the ones that matter according to the SEC regulation 12g. I also ask, if CMKX was wrong in filing their form 15, are they not also covered under the exemption 13a-13 which states, and I quote:

“ Part I of the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or Form 10-QSB need not be filed by:

1. Mutual life insurance companies; or

2. Mining companies not in the production stage but engaged primarily in the exploration for the development of mineral deposits other than oil, gas or coal, if all the following conditions are met:

1. The registrant has not been in production during the current fiscal year or the two years immediately prior thereto; except that being in production for an aggregate period of not more than eight months over the three-year period shall not be a violation of this condition.

2. Receipts from the sale of mineral products or from the operations of mineral producing properties by the registrant and its subsidiaries combined have not exceeded $500,000 in any of the most recent six years and have not aggregated more than $1,500,000 in the most recent six fiscal years.”

We know that part one of a 10q or 10qsb is all financials and management discussions about the standing of the company. Anything further in a 10q is considered “other information” such as legal proceedings and sales of unregistered securities. Is cmkx exempt from filing quarterly reports under rule 12g or rule 13a-13 as the rules that govern the 10q also state that all statements not covered by section 1 of a 10q may be filed in 8k and not refrenced in a 10q?

I have a problem with this situation as we have multiple regulations written by the SEC that have been violated by the SEC, AS FOLLOWS:

1. Under Reg 12g the company filed a form 15 (which must be reviewed and signed off by the SEC for accuarcy to deregister)

2. The SEC has not addressed the shareholders of record or the assets in question according to Reg 12g (the last day of the 3 most recent fiscal years)

3. When CMKX filed a 15/a in order to regain reporting status, the SEC reacted with legal proceedings 31 days prematurely. According to rule 12g the company was to recieve 60 days to catch up on past filings. Instead the company had to prepare for legal proceedings in your court.

4. The SEC is basing their case around CMKX and its financials being presented, or lack there of, but according to their own Regulation 13a-13 since CMKX is a mining company in “exploration stages” the companies financials are not even required to be filed.

All of this leads me to believe that someone does not want this company to continue and its not because of the filings or any attempt to “defraud” investors. The very same SEC that is bringing these charges wrote the regulations. How can the SEC offer Revocation as the only remedy in this situation when they themselves were recently 6 months late in their own filings? Filings which were rejected by the GAO due to internal accounting practices that were not SOX compliant.

I ask you, who has the most to gain or lose by your decision? Common shareholders that bought a piece of CMKX because they did research on the claims this company holds and the Laws and regulations that govern its trading, or the SEC who is supposed to police the markets and has allowed billions if not trillions of unaccessable and counterfeit shares to trade unchecked on the market for over 2 years possibly allowing the funneling of billions of dollars out of the United States?

I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t ask you to review the regulations that the SEC has ignored in bringing this action against CMKX.

Thank you for your time, Your Honor, I’m sure that this information will find the truth with you and the others it is sent to.

Sincerely,

Roger Summers
