NEVER FEAR! Bush "monitoring" earthquake from his "ranch"

[Bluebear]

This must be his "ready to spring into action" pose

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush spent part of Monday at his Texas ranch monitoring devastation from a deadly earthquake in Southeast Asia — a replay of his post-Christmas vacation last year when he was monitoring damage from an earthquake in Iran....

"He's been monitoring it very closely," White House spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters at a briefing here. "He's seen some of the images on television."

On Dec. 26, 2003, when Bush was beginning his 2003 post-Christmas vacation here, his advisers were keeping him abreast of an earthquake in southeastern Iran that left more than 26,000 dead.

Bush also spent time clearing brush (swoon) at his ranch and thinking about what he'll say in his inaugural speech and upcoming State of the Union address.

and told everyone he was listening for more earthquakes.

5. Ah. Sorry, I don't "monitor" LBN as much

[Placebo]

6. It's good times in there though!

hehe :P

4. Yeah, well, to be fair...they're probably better off with him at the ranch

than flying halfway around the world for a photo op or two.

7. monitoring the earthquake. Gee, I feel so much safer now

knowing he may, at any moment, decide it's time to call Jay-sus on the bright red HolySon-O-Phone(tm) so they can "conference" about stopping it.

8. why the fu** is he still carrying on that brush-clearing facade?

I figured that Reagan wannabe superficial shit would have stopped after he got re-elected.

[moondust]

9. With PDBs and everything?

Wowee zowee.

[Borgnine]

10. What the hell is that pose he's cutting?

Did he just watch a Jackie Chan film marathon or something?

[Bluebear]

12. HAI-YA!!!!!

[Bluebear]

23. Still laughing over that one!

[Bouncy Ball]

11. Ah, "monitoring"

by taking long naps, watching cartoons, eating bowls of Fruit Loops, laughing at racist and homophobic jokes, staring off into space and feeling miserable because of his wife and daughters.

That kinda monitoring, eh? Same kind he always does. Oh gosh I feel so damn safe.

:eyes:

[karlrschneider]

13. Yeah, like a Monitor lizard does...

:grr:

[Nay]

14. How much effing brush does that stupid ranch have???

[Bluebear]

22. My thoughts exactly nt

[diamond14]

15. bush*: send troops to my Iraq coalition and you'll get a little help here

likely, bush* will send over what's left of the tiny little bit of humanitarian aid that he sent to Iraq....


you can help but notice that bush* himself has yet to make a statement (must be real drunk/drugged)...so far... it was a DEPUTY press secretary that read a tiny statement yesterday....then today, it was a lower level spokesperson....


MESSAGE TO INDIA, SRI LANKA, INDONESIA: if you don't join the Iraq Coalition right now and SEND TROOPS, you'll NEVER get any help from the USA, no matter how bad it is.....


'compassionate conservatism' in action: tell those liberals to take up a collection....hey KKKKKarl...only if you get a LOT of pressure, just send over a couple thousand dollars and crank up some GREAT press releases about my compassion...f*ck those unchristian pagans, throw them as little as possible..........maybe you could just take over that food we sent to those ungrateful iraqis, isn't it still sitting delayed in the port like we discussed....and remember KKKKKarl....don't bother me with this at least until I return to Washinton DC on January 10th...thanks..

16. I feel safer already

* is gonna send our boys to fight the next big tsunami if one reaches our shores.


I hope he has his widdle thinking cap on so he can think and monitor at the same time. Or is that asking too much?

[Pithy Cherub]

17. The remote to the TV is in his new ducky raincoat,

* can turn on the TeeeVeeee anytime.

[devinsgram]

18. At least he's not having someone

tell him about it after they read about. I hope he can figure out what the pictures mean without having someone to explain it to him.

19. i believe his first comment

i believe his first comment after seeing the video on TV was:

"boy that's one terrible swimmer."

[Bluebear]

24. Good one.

"But all in all it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me, so who cares?"

[gizmo1979]

20. Do you think they have to draw pictures

for him.Tsunami is an awfully long word for*.

[RC]

21. Plus there is no vowel after the T

That caint be a meriken word.
