First Lady to visit Everglades

First Lady Laura Bush will visit Everglades National Park on Wednesday to promote her First Bloom initiative, which seeks to restore plant life.

First she'll plant native plants with the park's Junior Rangers, then visit the Anhingha Trail near Royal Palm. There she'll speak about a new National Parks Foundation essay contest called "Turning a Leaf," which is aimed at highlighting ways that kids can help preserve the environment.

Has Lady Bush done ANYTHING during her tenure in the White House? Keep that BUSH out of my forest!

DONT LET HER DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[[ insert generic BDS-inspired comment here ]]]

can't see the forest for the bush!

don't get eat up by the bugs gale norton let loose thar a few years ago!

since her silver spooned husband tried to drastically cut funding for the restoration, maybe she can plant some of those trees that money grows on while she's there

You DO mean Last Bloom Initiative, yes?

Just an excuse to get out of the house.

Maybe she'll draw all the bushies to the swamps where the gators can vote on their taste?

does anyone know exactly how much zoloft or whatever this flooze ingests each day in order to tolerate the chimp?

I will be surprised if the sawgrass doesn't wither beneath her very feet.

Too little, too late by the Bush Administration.
