PHOTO: Bush "comforts" Boy Scouts at Jamboree...

[Bluebear]

So read the headlines. This is after military recruiters taught the Scouts to chant "OO-rah" and the Army brought in their "sightseeing" hot-air balloon.

[Kerrytravelers]

1. Un-fucking-believable.

Don't be surprised if recruiting stations are set up next to toy stores in the very near future.

With recrutiment so low, they gotta find fresh blood somewhere.

[The Backlash Cometh]

27. OH, come, come. I think the hot air ballons are appropriate. n/t

[lonestarnot]

32. Yeah draft the boy scouts!

[driver8]

56. I heard on the radio that "the boy scouts are the only guys in uniform

who aren't already in Iraq."

They are the only "uniformed group" chimpy has left to talk to.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. They should have flung vomit and feces at him for refusing to show up

the first day while the scouts were dying of heat exhaustion and exposure.

if I were a Boy Scout leader (and I WAS a Boy Scout, by the way), I would have taught my troop to say "fuck you!" to that asshole and remind them that Asshole McShitHead AWOL Traitor exemplifies EVERYTHING that the Boy Scouts are against: UNthirfty, UNbrave, UNclean, UNreverant, UNtrustworthy, UNloyal, etc.

8. UN-prepared - worst trait of all for the president of the US

The man is thoroughly lazy and too UN-disciplined to have what it takes to lead the country.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. And UNcheerful, UNobedient, and most especially UNkind and UNcourteous

also UNfriendly and UNhelpful.

[Bluebear]

14. And INtolerant. No gays or atheists allowed!

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Yeah, but you don't have to be tolerant to be a Boy Scout,

so they're covered on that one.

Though, most definitely, Shithead FuckNob is totally UNtolerant.

[driver8]

57. "Un-prepared"? Just another normal working day in the life of our

president.

"Daddy, when I grow up...I want to be President."
"Don't you ever say that again! Go wash your mouth out with soap!"

[Benhurst]

3. Did they teach them how to goose-step? NT

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

4. My immediate reaction...

...TELL me that's not Photoshopped."

Nothing more comforting after dropping like flies in the blistering heat than a former AWOL member of the TANG leading an Army recruitment infomercial.

OO-rah indeed.

:silly:

[Bluebear]

7. No, I would have photoshopped in a recruiting table

And a CD player with Toby Keith talking about kicking Ayrab ass on it. It's a news photo alright, hot off the presses.

[Swamp Rat]

5. GROSS!!!

FUCKING BASTARD!!! :mad: :puke:

[Bluebear]

9. "Tomorrow belongs to me!!"

[UTUSN]

6. I Thought HITLER Was Dead n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

10. What is "OO-rah"?

Is that an army chant or something?

[Bluebear]

12. Indeed it is. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. So what's next?

marching cadences?

[Bluebear]

19. I don't know but I been told, Jesus don't love liberal souls....

Sound off....

[nadinbrzezinski]

54. one, two, three, four

one two....

;-)

[noamnety]

23. OO-rah!

Apparently that's the sound he likes to hear when consoling people for their loss.

[Bluebear]

30. Perfect observation!!!!! n/t

[driver8]

58. Shrub's war chant during Vietnam was "Dos cervesas, por favor."

He was, after all, saving the country from an invasion from Mexico.

[Individualist]

11. Hitler Youth and der Fuehrer

part II.

[Fridays Child]

16. Do military recruiters always show up at Jamborees?

Or were these boys just particularly "lucky?"

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. Looks photoshopped to me.

That many people couldn't be that stupid.

[noamnety]

21. It's linked from the regular yahoo news address

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050801/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_boy_scouts

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Take a look at the close-up. The people in the bottom right corner are

looking away from him. They aren't looking at him and they're right in the front. I think it's photoshopped. WH propaganda.

[beam me up scottie]

28. It was not photoshopped.

There were more photographs of the balloons.
The people are looking at the video screen which was showing shots of people in the crowd.

[in_cog_ni_to]

31. OK. If you say so. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

37. I wish I was wrong.

What kind of people think this is appropriate?

The fact that they proudly turned this into a recruitment rally sickens me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. I KNEW that's what would happen!

When the Senate passed that crap bill to allow the Boy Scouts to have their Jamboree at Military instillations, my FIRST THOUGHT was....they are using this as a recruitment opportunity. I don't think my thought was wrong. :(

[Lars39]

42. And in essence allowing the military to use the Scouts...

to practice their crowd-control skills on them.
Makes me wonder if Dufus not showing up was planned, just so they could
practice dealing with a lot of heat-stroke victims at once.:tinfoilhat:

[beam me up scottie]

43. Nope, your instinct was right on target.

You would think the parents would be outraged.
Of course, the parents are okay with the bigoted policies of the scouts, so I doubt the quasi-military attitude would bother them.

[Bluebear]

34. It does have an odd 1-D look about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the WH doctored it up to make him look the best and then released it for the press. But there it is.

[beam me up scottie]

39. Yeah, I'm sure they have to airbrush the drool

running down his chin all the time.

[Bluebear]

41. LOL!!!

Wait why am I laughing, you're right!

[OrlandoGator]

18. I was a Boy Scout...I'll NEVER let my son be one.

Teaching children blind, unquestioning patriotism and hatred for gays isn't "American values" to me.

[Catherine Vincent]

22. Did he go out into the crowd and do this:

Chicken George probably too chicken!

[beam me up scottie]

24. Hey!

Look, there's brown people in this crowd.

[noamnety]

33. Instead of going into the crowd

He lined up kids behind him, campaign style. When they're small, they make nice props. In a few years, they'll grow into cannon fodder.

[Bluebear]

35. I'm surprised he didn't arrive in a phony Eagle Scout jumpsuit

With "G.W. Bush, commander-in-chief" stitched into it.

[noamnety]

38. LMAO (nt)

[driver8]

59. and his large, bulbous crotch...on display for all to see!!

Oh man...all I can think of is that Saturday Night Live skit "Canteen Boy." Chimpy can play the Alec Baldwin character.

[yorkiemommie1]

26. i am speechless

:puke:

[Swamp Rat]

29. Here ya go:

:D

[noamnety]

36. His warm interaction with the children

touches my heart.

[Greylyn58]

44. He's barely touching the kid's hand

and he's not even looking at him.

What a bastard!! Satan has a special room all set up for him and his cronies!!!

:argh:

[noamnety]

46. What do you mean?

Clearly he is consoling them while exuding compassion. :)

[beam me up scottie]

45. Real MANLY handshake there, what?

Look at how tiny and delicate his hands are!
:rofl:

[Bluebear]

47. Real milquetoast preppy grip for a "War President"!

And that's his "I just farted"/interchangeable with "look like you can experience empathy" look on his face.

[beam me up scottie]

48. Sad to think of all the hours he spends practicing

how to look human in front of a mirror and that's the best he can do.

It's got to kill him that we live in the digital age where they have no control over most of the images downloaded on the net.

You just know that any poor photographer that has to follow this chump around all the time must have it in for him.

I know I would!

[Bluebear]

49. Stop! You'll make him cry!

Still my favorite picture of him. How cowboy-tough and "regular guy". Swoon.

[beam me up scottie]

52. I KNOW !!!

Talk about drama queens...

I have that one saved. I wonder what the freeps thought about their fearless leader that day?

The chimp has maybe 5 standard human-like expressions that he can
produce when necessary but can never use the appropriate one for the occasion.

[noamnety]

55. He's not actually shaking their hands

He's just extending his arms so the peons can touch him.

I like how that one kid has the same expression I have when I find a new kind of neat looking bug in my garden.

[nadinbrzezinski]

53. Is this kid infectious?

I mean he is a teen... and look at them ears, and he is a darkie

Sorry could not help myself here

[Rex]

50. Future arms and legs for the war machine!

Look at em! Smiling like it was his birthday! :puke:

[nadinbrzezinski]

51. Ok sorry for saying this SEIG HEIL

And by the way, if yuo all remember The Voice of the WH said he was gonna do exacly this
