[pk_du]

...LMFAO

On Edit: Okay...Okay...it looks like something from the first Star Trek Series worn by Commander Kirk.

Pic to follow when its posted. (right now its live TV from Camp Pendleton,CA)

1. How about a hint?

Just in case we don't happen to have it on.

[Walt Starr]

4. Don't you just hate these types of threads?

:grr:

[DireStrike]

5. It's a weird grey jumpsuit with some circular logo on it

He's talking to some troops.

[Pirate Smile]

2. You made me turn it back on. I turned it to C-span2 as soon as he

arrived.

He is definitely in Star Trek mode.

Hopefully, we are sending him to Mars.

[DireStrike]

3. Another chimp to be sent to space?

[The Doctor.]

6. (sniff) Ahhh... you can still smell the monkey.... n/t

[glarius]

7. Could it be one of the missing Canadian airport uniforms....hahaha

Or maybe his "space cadet uniform?".....Gee...don't you just love a guy in uniform?.......

10. Straight off of

Planet of the Apes. Who the hell dressed him this morning?

34. LOL, LOL, LOL!

[JHB]

15. "George W. Bush, Commander in Chief"

Look at the jacket. Jeez.

Did ANY other president Oval Office Occupier wear anything like that? Need to have it so spelled out?

:puke:

[charlie]

20. Yeah, he loves lording it over everyone

One of Rummy's first directives was to strip the CinC designation from all regional commanders in the military. There's only one Commander in Chief, no one else is worthy of the title.

[SammyWinstonJack]

60. And neither is the chimp

"no one else is worthy of the title." Especially not the chimp.

[zbdent]

42. I'm surprised it's not printed upside-down

so that he can read it and remember his name and "rank" . . .

[flordehinojos]

63. I DON'T THINK SO... AND I BET THIS JACKET WAS DESIGNED BY NONE OTHER THAN

POPPY BUSH WHO CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF TELLING PEOPLE THAT HIS SON IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, THE ONE THAT PEOPLE OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSING AS "mR. pRESIDENT".

[Sparkly]

16. That is just weird!!

The shoulder epaulette things are bad enough, but it looks like it tried to have a lapel or a collar and didn't quite make it.

Is he setting a new "style" for Murcan-Fascist sportswear? I don't get it.

[WolverineDG]

82. wow

my dad used to comment about "goering in his fairy suits" & i never knew what that meant....now i do....sheesh, pretty soon we're going to see some gold ropes on those shoulders.....why can't i have a real president instead of one who still plays dress up?

22. Caption ...

Make it so number 1.


This is ground control to Major Shrub,
Your spinning in the dark,
There is nothing you can do,
Your just spewing lots of pooo-oooo.

[MuseRider]

23. A complete

and total jackass. I just can't get over it, what a jackass.

[davekriss]

31. Fascist!

Though this is not a military uniform, it resembles one. I can see Pinochet or Quadaffi wearing something very similar. The scary thing is these things are not accidents: Bush's hijacking of religious language, his militarism -- accidents don't happen in politics. And he has been successful in his fascist pose (well, close enough to successful so that, when elections are stolen, riots don't start on the White House lawn). What does this say about the vast citizenry of the United States? What has become of us?

The illusion of freedom in America will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.
--- Frank Zappa, 1977

I'm the commander... see, I don't need to explain. I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."
--- Gee Dubya Bush in Bob Woodward's BUSH AT WAR

The US has about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. In this situation we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming, and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives.

We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford the luxury of altruism and world benefaction. We should cease talks about such vague and unreal objectives as human rights and raising of living standards and democratization. The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better.

Dear Lord, what has become of my country?

[Cheswick2.0]

40. George W Bush... Chimp in Chief

[flygal]

50. OMG he looks like that cult leader back in '97 WTF is his name?

[screembloodymurder]

76. Jim Jones.

[genieroze]

52. ROTFLMFAO.

Looks like Howdy Doody meets Buck Rogers. Did they sew his name on so he can remember who he is? I wonder if they tag his undies too? Lookie me I'm the pwesident, see my names on my jumpsuit and everyting. What's wrong with his PR people, are they idiots? Yet, these neocons made fun of Kerry in a bio suit which was mandatory.

[Snivi Yllom]

61. that's very Starship Troopers

[flordehinojos]

62. DOES BUSH EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FACE THE TROOPS WHEN HE SELLS THEM THE

CRAP THAT HE SELLS THEM? CAN HE FACE THEM AND TELL THEM FACE TO FACE THAT HE IS GOING TO SEND THEM TO DIE BECAUSE HE WANTS IRAQ?

i CAN'T STAND LOOKING AT THE MAN ...... AND THAT TRENCH COAT STYLE MILITARY JACKET BRINGS TO MIND THE IMAGE OF FASCIST MILITARISM.

If only a few of them would stand up and walk out, give him the finger, lead an insurrection right in front of him!!!!!!!!!

I feel so powerless while this man is parading his crap all over creation!!!!

[HeeBGBz]

9. He says E naugher A sshun like he did exaggeration

[Skidmore]

12. It's very Third Reich--the Next Generation.

[maddezmom]

[maddezmom]

57. Bush, who donned a tan military-style jacket with epaulets- AP link

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041207/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush&cid=544&ncid=1480

A large crowd of Marines clad in tan-and-green camouflage uniforms bellowed "oo-rah," as Bush, who donned a tan military-style jacket with epaulets, thanked U.S. forces. He said the bravery and sacrifice of the troops has made America safer.

[cybildisobedience]

19. Seriously -

how insecure does this guy have to be to have little outfits with his name and the title "Commander in Chief" embroidered on?
It's like a Little League mascot getting a special jacket so they feel that they're part of the team or something.
Ridiculous.

[Poor Richard Lex]

24. Member's Only went out of style years ago chimpy

[VOX]

[JHB]

[Kazak]

29. He just loves...

[davsand]

30. Ya gotta wonder if they put his name in his shorts too.

It'd be a real bitch for him to get those on backwards someday and run around for a week thinking his name was Fruit of the Loom.

And to think how much we make fun of Pickle's wardrobe decisions...


Laura

[underpants]

33. LOL I'll have to remember that one

He looks like a valet.

[Sparkly]

35. Would those be his "national security briefs"

or maybe his "sock drawers?" :D

[Contrary1]

75. Not his "national security briefs"...

because he never looks at those.

[SammyWinstonJack]

64. Hysterical

[burythehatchet]

[BrklynLiberal]

79. STOP! STOP! I'm peein' in my pants from laughing so hard!! n/t

[kentuck]

36. Cheerleading...what he does best.

Telling the Marines all the good things they want to hear except..."I'm sending your asses to Iraq to be shot off..."

[Stephanie]

54. In fact the ONLY thing he knows how to do.

The Cheerleader in Chief.

[JohnyCanuck]

[Maestro]

41. The most unphotogenic president

Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fryguy]

43. i think its a Members Only jacket

what a great homage to the trends of the 80's!

[Batgirl]

46. Karen used to just pin on his nametag

but he kept losing them...good precautionary measure to increase the chances someone will return him if he wanders away from the group.

[VaYallaDawg]

47. George in CinC drag. n/t

[Liberal Classic]

49. OMG Bush is wearing a...

Member's Only Jacket!

Oh no Mr. Bill!

[pk_du]

51. Here's another Pic...classic Piccard Suit there Chimpy!!

[Stephanie]

53. PIX up at Yahoo now >>>

[JHB]

55. How are they seating the Marines for these "events"?

That last one has him looking like he's in a canyon of camo!

[Skidmore]

58. Are we sure those Marines aren't from the

Photoshop Corps?

[fryguy]

68. glad he's got the flag on his arm

just in case people were confused that he is the comander in chief of poland or something

[burythehatchet]

71. almost made me forget he's a draft dodger

[Ready4Change]

56. Unmandated despots love their little uniforms.

Look at me! I'm a real man!

[Batgirl]

59. either it's his old Webelos uniform

OR, it's one of those cutsie novelty outfits they have on hand for Barney to wear during State dinners.

oh and I also wonder if his meal 1) is actually a giant mound of scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes, as it appears, and 2) did any of it actually get within an arm's length of his mouth.

[idiosyncratic]

73. Why does the marine's plate of food look like a "normal" meal

while he has a mound of easily chewed mush on his plate?

:silly:

[Batgirl]

74. my guess is a team of stylists

worked all weekend to set-design this lunch as part of their ongoing marketing of bush -- the plate of yellow mush was transported to the military canteen in it's own limo with sirens blaring -- an important visual cue that this simple man-o'-the-folks president who will sit and eat a plate of mush with commoners.

[Sentath]

78. Notice the expression of the young lady

next to him?

She knows thats not normal.

[Batgirl]

81. exactly, her face speaks volumes

where did he get this bewildering pile of gruel?

[Contrary1]

66. Pickles must have been

up all night sewing his widdle patchie on.

[King Coal]

67. Quick. We need to be the first to make the new action doll.

[JHB]

69. Here's the look he's trying to copy:

* has no ribbons, so he gets a nametag in the same position that takes up the same space. No pockets, so he gets a big "Presidential seal" iron-on to keep his right side "busy", etc.

The real guy would slap his ass all the way back to his mamma's skirts.

[Steely_Dan]

84. Note That Patton...

...a true War Hero...a real MAN - Need not wear each and every ribbon and medal he has earned.

Patton is wearing his rank, the number of years he has served and probably 1/10th the medals he could have worn. He is sure of himself and does not need to prove anything to anyone.

This was a real American hero.

-P

[Az]

72. History repeats itself

[kohodog]

80. I Got Mine Today!

It's the new uniform. All good little Americans are urged to be wearing one when Jesus comes back!

Only problem is mine is black and has a funny little W with a slash through it.

[kohodog]

83. Hey! It's Dr. Evil!

My daughter came up with that one. Bush has nothing on Austin Powers, but I think he secretly identifies with him. Poor Pickles.

[lumpy]

85. Dictators love to wear quasi battle dress.

Muammar Qadhafi, Saddam Hussein comes to mind.

[Columbia]

86. It's a Marine Tanker jacket

http://marineshop.safeshopper.com/23/744.htm?485

[Contrary1]

87. "For Marines by Marines"...

so the site says. But I guess as commander in chief,
he is a member of all the Armed Forces???

Shrub has no shame.
