Are you watching CNN's "First Ladies" series?

Uh, OP, get a life, seriously.

R1 = Melania, suspiciously absent from the series and obviously jealous.

Sigh.

The Michelle episode was excellent. I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Covered a lot of ground and dug deep into the major points.

The Nancy episode seemed rushed, like they were cramming so much into 60 mins., they had to rush over so many things. Would have been better as a 90 min episode, like the Michelle one,

The Jackie episode also felt a little rushed (not as much as the Nancy one). Again, this would have been better as a 90 min episode.

C Span series was better

The Nancy episode surprised me the most. She was very conniving but she was behind some of the few good things Reagan did.

I'd forgotten that horrible wallpaper of all the blackbirds that she picked out for their bedroom. I was like something out the Hitchcock's The Birds.

But Rosie, you didn't do much of anything while in office. At least not enough to fill up a 60 minute time slot with interesting info that will keep the audience watching for the full 60 minutes.

Same with Bess, Mamie, Pat, Barb and Laura.

Rosalynn wasn't picked because of her friendship with serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

R8 Tales of my cuntery could *easily* fill an hourlong slot, you low-class bottom feeder.

R8 You forgot me, shit stain. But then again, everyone does.

R8 Oh please. Lady Bird planted some flowers and pissed off Eartha Kitt. When it was time to leave the White House, I had to play nice with that Hyannisport jezebel, Jackie. My suffering was great. And that whore and the ugly dyke get their own hour? Well! I *never* in all my life!

I love Jackie and while I enjoyed what there was I also felt it was rushed..... I could watch another two hours of Jackie and alll that she did. I get it. They're covering "First Ladies" so what Jackie did with the rest of her life wasn't relevant to this series.

What part of Melania’s life are they going to cover? Her illustrious career as a hooker? Her illustrious modelling career with all 4 photos? That time she dyked out on camera? Or what about the time she plagiarized an actual college graduate? Seems her biography is more suited for Playboy TV than CNN.

Betty @ r11. Your greatest claim to fame happened AFTER you left the White House, AFTER you were First Lady.

If you'd gotten sober and started a rehab center WHILE in the White House, we could easily have filled 60 minutes on you. Probably 90.

I wonder why Melania's story hasn't been covered.

R9 And Jim Jones. Don't forget him!

R17, yes but there are no incriminating photos with Jones. There are plenty with Gacy.

Jackie was our greatest First Lady.

R18 what are you talking about? There exist at least 3 photos of RC and JJ together. Just do a Google image search.

I'm a bit surprised that Michelle hated living in the White House so much. Also, I'm sure Melanoma is glad Nancy took the first prize for least liked and not her. Not surprised that Hillary was the hardest working First Lady.

Betty Ford invented heterosexual anal sex in Grand Rapids MI in 1948.

Lou Hoover was a man, baby!

An episode about Melania would be a pron show. What a nasty bitch. They ought to call her FWOTUS (First Whore of the Unites States)

You know it was Rosalynn Carter who had the first international conference on Women's Right, etc in the early 80]s at the Carter PResidential Center. At the time it was extremely significant. And Lady Bird's highway beautification program was significant. The highways of America looked like shit before she started her environmental cause. planting trees is no small thing. People do not realize Lady Bird was also a business woman. She wasn't pouring tea for all those years.

They should do something on lesser known First Ladies and really tell it. Florence Harding was very interesting. And Edith Wilson was President while her husband was semi comatose from a stroke.

"Let's not speak to Posy — I mean, Melania — today."

Pat Nixon certainly deserves a shot. She probably suffered the most except for the ones whose husbands were assassinated (Mary Todd Lincoln, Lucretia Garfield, Ida McKinley, and Jackie Kennedy).

"This is the presidential suite? I bet Pat Nixon got fucked in this room. Call downstairs and ASK if Pat Nixon got fucked in this room!"

"But ... Mrs. Nixon was a stroke victim!"

Ok DL, help me out. After watching the episode on Eleanor Roosevelt, I feel compelled to read her biography. Has anyone read one or have an idea of what is best?

[quote] Lady Bird

Oh, I wish I could be a first lady!

R19 - Eleanor Roosevelt was the greatest First Lady. Her towering presence in the her tireless fight for basic human rights for people of color and the poor was truly extraordinary for her time in which she lived. She accomplished things that seem monumental during her husband's tenure. Since her husband didn't travel, she did his work and she was his eyes and ears of what people were thinking in the country. She was also influential at the United Nations after the President died.

R33 And she scissored and ate pussy like a champ!
