W......T.......F......? There was an offering at the inauguration???

[kuozzman]

I'm watching Jay Leno and they just showed a clip from the inauguration of the offering plate being passed around, like in church!? WTF?

Jay's joke was "at what point is someone too old to be having their Dad hand them a bill to donate?-Then it showed Chimp 41 handing Chimp 43 a bill over his shoulder to put in the plate! ROTFLMAO!

Funny! but WTF?

1. Was it the church service this a.m.?

[kuozzman]

6. No, it was yesterday. Unless Laura didn't change clothes?

She had that white dress on-that she wore during the parade.

[MADem]

16. No, she had on the PINK SUIT and it was at the

NATIONAL CATHEDRAL today. There's another thread on this very subject, how weewee doesn't go to church often enough to realize that you have to throw a nickle in the box and you'll be saved...put a dollah thirty seven, you'll be sure to go to heaven....

2. maybe they still were trying to pay for the monster's ball (nt)

[alexisfree]

3. collecting more money!

[ynksnewyork2]

4. no, it wasn't the inauguration, it was

this morning at a prayer service with Billy Graham presiding.

[kuozzman]

7. I'm pretty sure it was during the parade?

Laura had the white dress on and Bush 41 was above and behind Chimp......

[Orangepeel]

20. it was the church service in the AM before the parade

they all wore the same clothes to church and to the parade

[buff2]

5. That was at the "Prayer" breakfast.

More phoney religous crap they love to put out. Real puritans. :puke:

[chefgirl]

8. What I heard about it

Apparently, its tradition for presidents to put a $20 in the collection plate, and dickhead's handlers forgot to make sure he had cash, so first Uncle Dick put it in for him, then father of dickhead reached over his shoulder and handed him a $20, so then Uncle Dick reached in and took his back out.

Don't know how accurate that is, but its the story I heard.

-chef-

[kuozzman]

9. I didn't see Dick, but 41 definitely handed Chimp a bill

It looked like one of those "billionaires for Bush" bills?
lol

12. The footage of it was on Keith Olbermann

and that's exactly what happened.

KO called it "National Bank of Dad."

10. we need to get that fucking guy named god out of our politics

[autorank]

14. AMEN! Brother. Welcome to DU

.....HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.....

[alphadog]

15. C'mon guys...

We're democrats and supposed to be a bigger tent than that other party. So for the sake of all of us here who are believers AND progressives, could you not call God that "fucking guy"? Thanks...

As always,

Alphie

[Guns Aximbo]

21. obviously our tent is smaller

and "god" is a figment of your man made imagination, in my opinion. I will refer to "god" in any way I want regardless of your beliefs.

11. Here's the whole story and a link to the video:

13. It's all part of our national pageant of democracy.

We have a stupid parade with robots from Liberty University, et al, and then a white-folks ho-down at various convention venues with drinking all along. The next morning, it's Bloody Mary's and a bi-partisan church service. All of the above is our way to ritualized peaceful elections and national unity. hahaha

I'm about to throw up. :puke:

[Chovexani]

17. Heh

Chimp 41 strikes me as the kind of person who puts empty sealed envelopes in the collection plate.

Chimp 43 strikes me as the kind of person who puts in a dollar and makes change.

[bobweaver]

18. Doesn't this incident pretty much symbolize and sum up his entire career?

[BeeBee]

19. My thoughts exactly...

Daddy handing him a bill to bail him out....
