 Laura Bush/Hillary Clinton presidential matchup?

Mon May 30, 1:11 PM ET

First lady Laura Bush would defeat U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton if the two were to face each other in the 2008 presidential contest, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday.

Cheney made the prediction after his wife, Lynne Cheney, suggested the matchup in an interview on CNN's "Larry King Live."

Mrs. Cheney noted the rampant speculation that the former first lady, now a senator from New York, would make a bid in the next presidential go-around. President Bush cannot seek a third term in office. His father, former President Bush, was defeated after one term by former President Bill Clinton.

"You know, people are thinking of Mrs. Clinton running for president. I think Mrs. Bush ought to run for president," Mrs. Cheney said. "If we want to have a Bush dynasty, let's get Laura Bush."

The vice president, who again ruled out making his own run for president when Bush's term ends, agreed.

"It's a great idea," Dick Cheney said. "And I think I know who would win too."

Yep the idiots would likely vote for the person with experience checking out library books...

Instead of the person rated as one of the top attorneys in the nation.

Not that it will matter to you lazs, but the National Law Journal named her one of the top 100 most influential attorneys in the Country in 1988 and 1991. Both are pre-First Lady-hood.

The world of law is just as much a matter of politics as running for public office.  Attorneys ranking attorneys is nothing more than who was best as greasing palms and kissing butt.

Bill Hillary in the oval office would be two firsts, First women pres, and the first lesbian women pres.... You Librulz are salvating on that... Might as well slit wrists its not going to happen....  You guys can always watch the Westwing and pretend and who knows maybe the westwing will have a pretend lesbian President in the next season that should pacify your whiney petulant frenzies for awhile?

So, is calling Hillary Clinton a lesbian really you can do?  Very interesting argument technique, I wonder if it's part of the official Republican party line?

I think Hillary Clinton would mop the floor with Mrs. Bush.  The question isn't whether Hillary could defeat an opponent, it's whether she can defeat herself.  Hillary is her own worst enemy.

LOL, a chess computer would anihilate either of us - probably in less than the 22 moves that our game lasted.

Game on - go to RHP.
