[Stephanie]

I apologize for this thread - it's just appalling. But the world should see him for what he is.

*edit - added a few more

[SpiralHawk]

1. That a fabulous shot of the plane's shadow and the resort

Brilliant photography. the still image lives -- given renewed life with digital technology.

[GretchenRed]

2. That man!

He is just.....demonic!

[faithnotgreed]

7. welcome gretchen - sorry to greet you under these circumstances

were glad youre here

[GretchenRed]

18. TY for the welcome

Just got here today. Hope to make some friends. :)

[faithnotgreed]

30. well if you can handle it on this day

and the coming days which will be quite rough then yes you have found a home

it can be fast and furious as is expected i imagine on message boards and with everything going on
but of course just now it will show the best and worst of us all

hope you find like minds and friends
how did you hear about us

[Booster]

31. Welcome, GretchenRed. Watching our "leader" for the last day

and a half, you're going to find us here at DU in real pissy moods. I can't believe the gall of this man; to be golfing and attending a fundraiser when he should be at least showing he's TRYING to help the people in the South, is beyond arrogance. A total asshole. But welcome and hope you're as angry as we are.

[speedoo]

3. I can't believe he gave another Aircraft Carrier speech.

Well, he was not aactually ON the carrier, but it was a prominent background prop.

And we all know what happened the last time he tried that stunt. How many of our soldiers killed in Iraq since then? 1600 or so, i believe.

[ClintonTyree]

4. Hey, he's cutting his precious vacation 2 days short!

What do you want from the man? He needs a balanced life, get off his back! :sarcasm:

[KeepItReal]

5. Bush & Co. miss a military-backdrop photo-op? Not even for a catastrophe.

That pretty much sums him up.

Image is everything to this media-made-man.

[Raster]

19. *'s entire pResidency is a military photo-op. After all, he is...

...The War President!!!

:sarcasm:

[Botany]

6. What the hell is he doing to that women?

Grinding his face into her.

Good Lord what a fucking embarrassment.

Clueless just clueless.

[Island Blue]

16. Whatever he's doing to her

she looks horrified! Don't blame her.

[Botany]

22. that is a look of horror on her face.

What a shit! Totally without any social graces.

[Generic Other]

8. Anchors Aweigh around our necks

Or is that an albatross.

[Missy M]

9. What is that permanent smile doing on Laura's face. ...

why did they have to be at the Naval base for a ceremony that could have done without him. Comparing Iraq to WWII is like comparing apples to oranges. bush is useless except when it comes to having photo opportunities.

[Dudley_DUright]

10. As someone said in another thread,

he had to go back to Crawford to pick up his gameboy. :eyes:

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Why aren't all those able bodied sailors

going crazy helping with the disaster relief, rather then sitting around glorifying Dimson.

This is abuse of power by the way.

[FtWayneBlue]

12. Cutting it short?

He's already had tooooooooo much vacation time already!

[Pobeka]

13. I hope he didn't run into any thunderstorms from Katrina.

It would have been a horrible inconvenience for him if he showed up late to the fundraiser.

[MadeinOhio]

14. LOL!! Its "hard work"!! There the military is laughing at him.

They laugh at him and give out fake claps, making him look even more stupid. I can't believe he admitted the truth today, he's tanking.

[thereismore]

Bushturd is kissing that woman like he'd just slipped on a banana peel

and she broke his fall.

Laura, do you have no common sense in you? That husband of yours is parading himself like a turd on a stick. He better start pretending he is doing something about the human suffering in the South. Basturd.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. The World DOES see him for what he is!

It's the idiot freeper bush zombies that refuse to see the real George W. Bush. However a whole lot of them are fixin' to get thumped by his 'compassionate conservatism' in the coming days, weeks and months.

[Mikimouse]

17. Is it my imagination, or is the gentleman in the front row...

in the second picture flipping * the finger? Sure looks like it to me. If so, kudos to him!

[Botany]

21. Yes he is!

Good Eye! Will he last person who still does not think bush is a
fucktard please turn out the lights when you leave the kool aid stand.

:bounce:

[Mikimouse]

23. Blessings and praise be upon his name...

with apologies to Sir Alec Guiness (the line is from Lawrence of Arabia).

[Botany]

26. It is a she

Bless her.

:bounce:

[Mikimouse]

34. oops, sorry about that

[CatholicEdHead]

24. By that hat, wouldn't that be an officer in the crowd?

[Mikimouse]

25. That would be my guess as well...

Gotta love it! I wonder if * will have his career destroyed for being disrespectful.

[Hand]

27. No, it's a woman...

That's female Navy headgear--and it sure looks like she's flippin' Chimpy off! :toast:

[Postman]

20. Bush pretending he "won" something...

because he obviously can't celebrate victory in Iraq....

[truth2power]

28. Kissing that woman...

boundary issues. Geez!!

[lonestarnot]

29. WOW do I see the word lies in the sand... I know I can't see

as well as I used to but in the shadow of AF1, it looks like the word lies, maybe I was out in the heat toooooo long yesterday! LOL

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

32. 3 observations.

The USS Ronald Reagan. *gack*

Pickles still needs an iron.

RummyIsUnscrutable. What an )*).

[peekaloo]

33. lol....Bu$h awash in seamen.

I couldn't help myself....honestly.

:evilgrin:
