Bush Caught Cashless At Church


It happened during Friday's national prayer service in Washington.

Vice President Dick Cheney quickly offered some cash.

However, Bush refused and instead accepted help from his dad, former President George H.W. Bush.

1. if no video

he would have stiffed the collection plate

2. hmm...

A church? I'm surprised he didn't toss in some federal aid as an offering.

10. Put a note re Faith Based Iniative Credit....Puke!

[Goldeneye]

3. Maybe if he went more often

he'd have known...maybe he just forgot.

4. no wallet??

President George W. Bush, who rarely carries a wallet, is caught empty-handed when the offering plate came around during a church service.

Rarely carries a wallet!? What kind of grown workingman -- esepcially the "leader" of the "free world" -- doesn't carry a wallet??

Something is bizarre here.

7. I don't believe Presidents ever carry wallets, or cash...or keys.

It's just the way they live in that bubble for the length of their term.

15. Your right

If my memory serves me right, Presidents don't carry anything in their pockets. I believe Clinton got caught short a couple of times because of that fact.

5. This could be his "scanner moment"

like when Poppy tried to show what a regular guy he was by doing his own grocery shopping.

He hadn't done it in so long it was before they had scanners at the checkouts. He asked out loud what it was... :dunce:

Perhaps this is an indication of how long it's been since Mr. God Chose Me To Be Pretzeldent actually goes to church??

17. Bingo Kama!

You could see the look of terror in Georgie's face when he realized what that shiny bowl was for.

6. I think it's just...

when you grow up with your Dad always paying for everything for you, ALL your life... He just never had to do it before, I bet.:wow:

8. Barbara and Jenna

Didn't have any either they looked like they didn't even want to grab it.

9. I remember when Hillary was running

for Senator in Ny...she went to a diner in a small city in upstate NY (Fulton)....one of her aides failed to leave a tip..she was crucified on the RW radio......but for * not to have $ in church...it's ok?

[zbdent]

14. I was going to mention the "stiffed tip" bit

I wonder where that waitress is now.

Didn't she initially get a lot of RW "donors"? I wonder if she actually got any $$ from them . . . or if they "rewarded" her for the negative publicity with a radio gig?

11. Even odds

that he took more out than he put in.

[dweller]

12. it's okay, he knows

he'll get it ALLL back anyway.

render unto Caesar, you know.

13. He thought someone was passing him another pile of money

All in a Bush day's work..."Hey, look, the good father is sending me his pledge! Huh? Put money IN? What the hell kinda crazy place is this?"

16. Watch Pickles VERY closely during this whole episode

You get a real glimpse into her inner "character" when she tries to smuggle the first buck into Georgie's hand, unseen. Ma Barker eat your heart out, Barbara's a natural criminal.

[mcscajun]

18. Well, Pickles was supposed the 'go-to gal' for pot purchases…

…so she'd surely have some experience in surreptitious money-handling. :)

19. B**h thought it was "Not One Damn Dime Day"

[journalist3072]

20. Shrub

All the money spent on that SOB's inauguration, and no money for God's House?

[More Than A Feeling]

21. This is a very small thing

Given all his mistakes, bad policies, and outright lies, I think forgetting to bring cash to church is the very least of Bush's sins. I know that I have done the same thing before. I just made sure to give more the next week.

I have to say, that I personally would love it if I had an underling who was always ready with a tip or whatever if I ran short. That would be really sweet.
