Laura Bush

"My cousin is dealin' vampire blood now? God damn idiot. Well, at least that explains why I walked in on you dancin' around in that Laura Bush mask yesterday, 'cause I gotta tell you, without a reason, that was some fucked up shit!"

- Tara Thornton

Laura Bush is the wife for former United States President George W. Bush and served as the First Lady of the United States for two terms from from January 20th, 2001 to January 20th, 2009.

Reference to Laura Bush has been made in the HBO television series True Blood. In the second episode of season one, "Mine", a character named Jason Stackhouse tries to purchase a vial of vampire blood (known for being a potent aphrodisiac if ingested by mortals) from a dealer named Lafayette Reynolds. Jason did not have the money to pay for the "V", so to compensate, Lafayette made a video recording of Jason dancing wearing nothing but his underwear and a Laura Bush mask. Although he knew that the video would be uploaded online, Jason hoped that the Laura Bush mask would protect his anonymity. As it turned out however, Lafayette's cousin, Tara Thornton, witnessed the spectacle. The prop that Jason was forced to wear during his embarrassing dance routine was identified as a Laura Bush mask in the following episode, "Escape from Dragon House".
