Surprised? George Bush exploiting private moments with Nancy Reagan. . .
Edited on Fri Jun-11-04 08:24 AM by wndycty
Are you surprised that George Bush is exploiting private moments with Nancy Reagan? I would think that it is unnecessary for there to be a camera present when Bush met with Nancy Reagan, more importantly why in the hell would the WHITE HOUSE RELEASE the damn photo? (You will notice this is the WHITE HOUSE photographer). It made the front page of the New York Post. To me this is just disgusting!

The United States' homage to Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) enters its seventh and final day with a lavish state funeral at the National Cathedral and a flight back to California for a sunset burial at the Reagan presidential library in Simi Valley.(AFP/WHITE HOUSE/Eric Draper)

1. It's part of his cheap and desperate attempt
to capitalize on Reagan's death and make people think he's like St. Ronnie. Haven't you noticed how happy-go-lucky and optimistic he is all of a sudden? Not to mention how he keeps saying he's like Reagan. Pretty soon he'll be popping handfuls of jelly beans and wearing too much blush.

7. ha! too much blush........
reminded me of the first Reagan press conference I watched, kept adjusting the color/tone keys trying to make that orange in his cheeks diminish.

I also saw photos of a grieving Nancy with Gorby and Iron Lady this a.m. she'll have quite the scrapbook.

stem cell, stem cell, stem cell, stem cell

2. We'll see more of that. That is the only thing he can use to run on
he hasn't anything accomplished. Well, anything positive...

I just hope that the press picks up on that.

4. Blooook!
That's hideous. I just lost my lunch....Your press is worse than ours!

Is it just me or is Laura Bush looking more and more like Jack Nicholson's 'Joker' in Batman?

5. I'm surprised Nancy's putting up with this BS.
I've always had the strong feeling she thinks very little of the Bush clan.

Anybody have any idea as to why she'd go along with this sort of crap?

6. Yeah she might have something to say about this. . .
. . .its funny they took a picture but I bet there were no reporters around to record Nancy's comments to Shrub about stem cell research.

9. It's called "decorum". But you can bet your ass she's seething
underneath.
Same thing for Ronnie, Jr. Both look at the Bushies, and Barbara, in particular, as V-U-L-G-A-R preppy pieces of shit who never really worked for their riches. Unlike Ronnie, who had a plethora of life experiences.

14. Because. . .
. . .it was obviously a private event, as evidenced by the photo coming from the official White House photographer, and it should not have been released.

17. Look at this photo and tell me who is more stoned?
Let's play a game--rank them in order of incapacity and guess which drug.

1) GW Bush--Ativan with a Absolut chaser.
2) Laura Bush ---Xanax makes me smile.
3) Nancy Reagan--I need Valium to get through this.
