President Bush's reaction:

[LSdemocrat]

1. Kicked and recommended.

[knowbody0]

2. he needs to be impeached

knowing these are not photo shopped, makes me ill

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. No words.

[AuntiBush]

37. Same Here.

[jackstraw45]

4. We've got him all wrong...

Dumbya thought he was playing in a benefit concert...

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Christ, he's got a presidential seal on the damn thing

and he can't even pretend to play the damn thing right.

[David Zephyr]

21. I hadn't even noticed the "Presidential Seal". That's really sick.

Bush took his own guitar out to California to fool around with in public while Katrina is devasting lives...in his own Blue States, too.

[krkaufman]

65. Oh my god. This idiot should have been spending every sleepless second...

... helping w/ the recovery. What a miserable failure.

[Virginian]

9. Is he really playing a chord

Or just using the guitar as another excuse to give everyone the finger?

[Bluesplayer]

34. yes

it looks like he's playing a first position G major chord, but on the wrong frets.

[Maru Kitteh]

49. Other man in photo is thinking "How could he fuck up a G CORD?"

My goodness, maybe Babs senior did drink too much during pregnancy.

I have said it before and I will again: That woman should have been sewed shut in the early 40's. It would have saved the world a great deal of death, destruction and misery.

[Imalittleteapot]

5. Impeach NOW!

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. Resign Now

Impeachment will take to long.

[htuttle]

8. Could he even GET anymore Nero-like?

[VOX]

10. Awesome collage, DZ. Recommended. n/t

[jillan]

11. It's awful, but I have to laugh when I see the picture of * holding the

book upside down with that stooopid look on his face. What an idiot!

Great thread! nominated!!

[sakabatou]

12. Let me give Bush a great big...

FU.

[Virginian]

13. Another thread asked if there were pix of him playing golf yesterday

while Katrina hit the Gulf states.

Pictures of him playing today while New Orleans floods are also valid.

[Kerrytravelers]

14. Every picture is worth a thousand words.

[electropop]

55. Could add the "Let them eat cake" picture.

Love the thumb-sucking!

[yellowcanine]

61. Except it is "Let ME eat cake!" Even Marie Antoinette didn't go that far.

[Imalittleteapot]

15. AND, don't forget his slow reaction to

the tsunami.

[sickinohio]

16. Typical of that uncaring, selfish,

bastard!! He makes me SICK!!

:grr:

[BrklynLiberal]

17. Guess this is about as close as it gets. Just put "W" on the toga.

[jimshoes]

18. Holy cow....

You can actually see his forked tounge in this pic. I knew he was a snake.

[Clintmax]

19. The man is a complete idiot.

He's got to go! And the sooner the better! Preferably, 6 years ago!

[ginnyinWI]

22. well, more accurately, he's a sociopath

Unable to feel others' pain. I guess he'll care about this when it impacts his own happiness. Like if his approval sinks into the 20s.

[Wheezy]

25. sadly

I don't think he gives a shit about his approval level.

[David Zephyr]

36. Sociopath.

I actually think with this much death on his hands that he is really a psychopath.

[earth mom]

39. No doubt in my mind! eom

[ginnyinWI]

58. ok, that works, too!

From what I understand, the two terms are practially interchangeable anyway! :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

57. He won't even care then. He's got everything, well almost, he wanted.

He doesn't have to worry about being 'reelected' again. And he personal wealth has increased tenfold or more. Time of your life, eh George? Scumbag POS lowlife sociopath.

[RamboLiberal]

20. On the guitar picture you know if this was Clinton, Gore or Kerry

the RW shrills like OxyRush and Hannity would be screaming they were playing Kumbaya as hurricane victims drowned.

[ginnyinWI]

23. and what do we hear from them now?

..........cue the crickets.

[DinahMoeHum]

24. If he shows a hair of his asshole in New Orleans, the relief authorities

should give him a lollipop and tell him to suck on it and stay the fuck out of their way.

They've got more important things to do than become props for his next photo-op.

:argh:

[Technowitch]

26. I also like the one on the WH website -- the one with the cake

I mean, it just *SCREAMS* irony. As in 'let them eat cake'.

[nonconformist]

27. Nominated. nt

[hunter]

28. Look at me! I cun play duh gee-tar!

:grr:

[dxstone]

29. Nice pictorial essay--several thousand words worth!

Kudos! :applause:
Pictures can say so much...
Lyrics can also be telling...

[Nothing Without Hope]

32. What a great captioned picture - EXCELLENT

There were also the Marie Antoinette Bush ones with the grins and the cake for the rich GOP donors. McCain was grinning like a fool right next to him - this was when people were dying in the hurricane-struck states and there was so little preparation or relief for them.

[Usrename]

42. "let me eat cake"

I still can't get over it.

[LibraLiz1973]

30. Is that Camilla parker Bowles behind him?

in the last shot (with the geetar)

:sarcasm:

(kidding about CPB, but it does look like her)

[Stinky The Clown]

31. He is the smallest man who ever lived

He has absolutely no value in him.

Not one iota.

[FreedomAngel82]

33. Amazing

Very good post and so telling. I wish we had a real president who really cared about his people. Imagine if this was Clinton, Gore or Kerry or any democrat.

[goforit]

35. The reality of the actions of these schmucks is atrocious.

[pazarus]

38. Theres an even better one from Katrina!

Where the assholes Bush and McCain celebrate with a big cake. I know its here somewhere on DU...

[Kadie]

40. Here it is

[pazarus]

41. thank you!

happy birthday mccain... nows as good a time as any to PAAAAR-TY! this is gonna be a great photo op!

[Usrename]

43. Yeah that's the one "people are dying, let me eat cake"

[Nothing Without Hope]

44. yeah, this one is the BEST Marie Antoinette Bush photo - he's having

himself a fiiiiiine time. The other photo from this op has McCain with a big grin - he does NOT look good, either physically (he looks ready to keel over) or situationally. Big grin while he toadies with * and people are dying in the American South and in the Middle East. What, us worry?

[Patiod]

51. And featuring McCain, the "good" Republican

Driver of the "Straight Talk Express" my ass.

[Stephanie]

45. you've got everything but the cake >

he won't survive this - george bush has just proved himself, without a doubt, unfit to rule

[AbbyR]

64. I sure hope you're right...

But I have very little confidence in the intelligence and integrity of the Congress. I don't believe he will ever be impeached. Please...I hope I'm wrong.

Abby

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

46. While soldiers were dying in Iraq

Bush was yucking it up at the National Press Club with a photo of himself crawling under the desk in the Oval Office saying, "Those WMDs must be around here somewhere!"

What a joker, our president!

[Miss Chybil]

47. He gives not a f*ck. No worries about re-election and all his

dominoes have been set up, ready to fall on the next nation on the axis of evil list. He and his friends are getting richer than their wildest dreams as oil prices and profits climb to record levels. A hurricane only makes them higher. Why shouldn't he be singing a song of joy? He's the king of the world.

[Maru Kitteh]

48. This should have a permanent sticky - I've utterly run out of words

None of them work. They're just not enough.

[Maraya1969]

50. Was that last photo taken TODAY?

[jackstraw45]

62. YES

August 30, 2005

Bush eats cake while NO Mayor desperately tries to contact him to save his city.

Impeach this psychopath! He is NOT a king!

[PunkPop]

52. I put this on another thread.

I think it would be an appropriate addition here.

[MsAnthropy]

53. He's a revolting, evil, egotistical, narcissistic, pompous, arrogant

lying, deceitful, depraved, incompetent, corrupt, petty, vengeful, genocidal, pathetic, spineless, vapid, venal, insipid, immature, insecure, insensitive, inhumane, greedy, lazy, stupid, selfish, clueless, ignorant, assinine, vulgar, cowardly, callous, demented, dangerous, criminal, petulant, spoiled little fucking RUNT!

[Binka]

54. What She Said....YES!!!!

I'm mailing that to the White House. They might want to recommend it to W for the cover of his up coming book. Titled "You thought I was a only a stupid fuck."

[no_to_war_economy]

56. kick kick and kick again

[Czolgosz]

59. Has anyone got the time, date, and location for the golf, phony guitar,

and "let them eat cake" photo ops? I'd like to tack those photos next to the contemporaneous storm images.

[tjdee]

66. The cake was on MONDAY, that shit.

The guitar was on Tuesday.

Don't know what times.

[Czolgosz]

68. thanks

[Beelzebud]

60. It's probably illegal to say what I'm thinking about Bush.

If you want a hint, about my feelings. Look up this album:

Corrosion of Conformity: Blind

Check out the name of the 9th song on the album.

[HEAVYHEART]

63. Kick!

[mom cat]

67. You nailed it there!

[wakemewhenitsover]

69. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and * strummed while New Orleans flooded.
