During his visit to the Golden
Lamb Inn in Lebanon,
President Bush stops to
hug Ashley Faulkner, who
lost her mom in the
Sept. 11 attacks. .
Photo by Lynn Faulkner

In a moment largely unnoticed by the throngs of people in Lebanon waiting for autographs from the president of the United States, George W. Bush stopped to hold a teenager's head close to his heart.

Lynn Faulkner, his daughter, Ashley, and their neighbor, Linda Prince, eagerly waited to shake the president's hand Tuesday at the Golden Lamb Inn. He worked the line at a steady campaign pace, smiling, nodding and signing autographs until Prince spoke:

"This girl lost her mom in the World Trade Center on 9-11."

Bush stopped and turned back.

"He changed from being the leader of the free world to being a father, a husband and a man," Faulkner said. "He looked right at her and said, 'How are you doing?' He reached out with his hand and pulled her into his chest."





Am I the only one who finds that story highly suspect?

BTW, Pabaah is the group that boycotts every single movie ever made.

1. "Leader of the Free World?"

Are we giving this guy more unelected positions, then?

[Fenris]

2. *muffled* "Mr. Bush, please, I can't breathe! I'm not a terrorist!"

3. Primo photo op for him, But here's a pic too!

It's composed of pictures of the Americans who have died in Iraq on his watch.

5. Interesting

How Bush made sure he was facing this camera while hugging that little girl. Like it's suppose to be proof that he "cares" about us the little guys. Please

8. At least another person

noted that he was looking DIRECTLY into the camera during this touching moment. Maybe we're wrong about the Reagan - Bush connection; he's clearly learned about acting.

[texas is the reason]

6. ewww..chimpy's grinding her nose into his armpit!

she is crying because of the musky simian stench coming from his chimp-pits.

7. If he would have been strong on terrorism he might have prevented 9/11

and this child's mom would still be alive.

What did the new report say: Terrorism has sharply increased! Thanks, Dubya

9. PABAAH is a complete joke!

And it's founder Jon Alvarez is a certifiable looney.

I just posted something about PABAAH in Activism/Events:

Also posted a sample from his untintentionally hilarious comic strip "The Patriot":



Yes, this is what we're up against. :eyes:

Kerry should have no problem in November.

You may get lucky and find more comic genius via Google:

Also claims he wants to do his patriotic thing and enlist, but...

I have decided to join the Army National Guard. Considering myself a patriotic citizen, I feel the need to do more to serve and protect my country. For months, we've heard reports concerning the military with regards to a possible manpower shortage. This situation seems to center around reservists and guardsmen who are choosing to not re-enlist once their time is up. Apparently, some like the benefits and rewards of being a reservist or guardsman, but do not wish to go overseas when called upon. If that is the case, so be it. I'm ready and willing to serve and wish to do so. I want to fight for Uncle Sam, if needed.

Being a family man and recently settled in beautiful upstate New York, I do not entertain notions of serving in the regular Army on a full-time basis. I have a career and am planting some nice roots here. Thus, I've chosen the Army National Guard as the vehicle for my service. After all, the Guard boasts on its website that it is comprised of "citizen-soldiers". Well, I'm a citizen who wants to be a soldier. I'm drawn to the fact that the Guard would afford me the opportunity to serve my community and my country, if and when the need arises. For me, this conjures up images of our heroes from the Revolutionary War, kicking in to do their part when danger reared its ugly head.

I've encountered one problem in my quest to serve my country. At 37 years of age, I've been told that I'm too old. Now, I can attest to the fact that I'm no spring chicken, but I'm certainly not over the hill. I'm certain that I can hold my own with any of these young whippersnappers out there. Not to be sexist, but if women are allowed to serve, then certainly the middle-aged should be afforded the same opportunity as well. I would welcome any advice from those in the military or legal community who might be able to help me in my campaign to serve. I have contacted Congressman James Walsh (R-NY, 25th District), to request his help in getting a waiver to bypass the age requirement. Perhaps readers could also contact his office to express support for my cause?

Uh huh. :eyes:

I say write Rep. Walsh. I'd like to send Alvarez overseas.

10. Excuse my while I...

Puke into my hat.

Oh, great group, by the way.

Real intellectuals. :hippie:
