Picture of the Day - 3
Okay,. I'm not a fan of the honorary doctorate to begin with, but I can understand how a President or Sec. State might be given one because of their experience.
But, what did Laura Bush do to get a doctorate of law?
(And look at the eyes....)

It's an evil look.
Part stepford, part I'm getting away with it.

She got away with murder as a teenager and she was a stoner/drug mule in college. That's a long way for a coked up debutante to go and still leave all the bodies buried.

I hadn't heard the murder charge.

She ran over a classmate with her car when she was 17. Manslaughter, still rumor is he had raped her and it was 'payback'. She had a friend with her in the car at the time.

"Part stepford, part I'm getting away with it."
Perfect.
The thing is, people like the Bushs really think people are impressed with their purchased, coerced or crony-bestowed "honors." In fact I think it all serves to further separate them from the American public, not endear them to the public.
This is all shades of a petty dictatorship... What's next? Billboards and broadsides emblazoned with massive portraits of the Dear Leader?

Yeah. And I think they believe they deserve those honors.
They see no irony in it.
