this photo-op is a joke

[DrDan]

baghdad bob acting like he has things under control

junior asking questions - like he cares

haley the barber crowding to get into the picture

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!

[habitual]

1. FUCK THIS BULLSHIT PHOTO OP

it is so fucking transparent. these people standing there giving bush a briefing while we listen in.... what CRAP>>>> he is not a leader and the PEOPLE KNOW IT

[TahitiNut]

37. I think I'll file an FCC complaint - IT"S A FUCKING OBSCENITY!!!!

Any time I think my outrage has been stretched to the limits, these scum reach new lows!

[gp]

2. they're patting themselves on the back again...jeezus

[Lex]

5. yep--so offensive!

W is clearly disinterested.

[TroglodyteScholar]

24. Disinterested?

Maybe...but it looks to me like he's simply uncomprehending...just waiting through this thing, not hearing the words...waiting for whatever his handlers push him into next.

He's beyond disinterested. He's simply going through the motions.

[Nickster]

3. Heh, heh, heh, that shoorrree is a purdy map....who got da beers?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. I love that - Haley the Barber - how about Haley the Barbarian

[oasis]

39. Haley Barbour's propaganda infomercial for FEMA/Bush. How transparent

can you get?

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. DOG and PONY SHOW

Is Bush just learning about the levee breaks NOW!?! NOW!?!

Why is Michael Brown wasting everybody's time explaining something which we all knew THREE FUCKING DAYS AGO!!!! What in hell is this? Reeling off these stupid fucking numbers? Are they kidding me?

[charlie]

7. He's getting a remedial class

on what happened 5 fucking days ago. In public. On TV. Like it's a good idea. Is Rove dead or something?

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. The most bizarre thing I've ever seen

It's as if this is the first time he's being briefed on the situation! America's schoolchildren know more about what's going on, from the look of this comedy, than the President of the United States. And most of them aren't even in school yet! This is a disgrace.

[greekspeak]

8. I call photo-op. This moment was planned days ago

As part of the Fuck the Dark Skinned People Its All About How Hard Preznitin is.

[DrDan]

9. if they could get their heads out of each others asses for just

a few minutes - perhaps they could save a few lives

[DrDan]

12. what a great job we are doing

medals and bonus all around

[digno dave]

10. LOOKS LIKE AN INFOMERCIAL!!!

[SoCalDem]

17. Cue audience...OOOOH!! AHHHH! clap-clap-clap

:)

[Nickster]

11. OMG, he's clueless.....

[Nickster]

15. Go ahead, smirk, you know you want to.

[Corgigal]

13. All I see

is 4 white men, all looking well rested in a nice air conditioned room. They don't look hungry to me. Again, they waste flipping time.

[AlGore-08.com]

16. "Emperor Bunnypants, you new clothes are sooooooo pretty!"

[dogday]

18. How many people are going to contrast this picture

against the one where the corpse is floating in a river or maybe the 20,000 plus people hollering for food and water.

[LunaSea]

19. Be sure to thanks eack other a couple more times.....

I swear I can smell the bullshit through the TV.

[habitual]

20. * keeps smiling, then remembering not to

and correcting himself. He starting laughing with one of them at one point then QUICKLY got control of himself and put back on the somber face.

It is also very clear that if you asked him afterwards: what specific detail did any of these people say to you? He would have no idea, he knows exactly what his place is there, and that is to provide a photo-op for his handlers.

[NNN0LHI]

21. Is Rove operating the camera? n/t

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

22. he's fucking staring out into space

clueless - and we all know he could give a shit about the situation.

What the @%$&* is wrong with these people!?!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. Exactly. An infomercial of an Alternate Universe reality.

[KittyWampus]

25. surreal

[LunaSea]

26. no kittens or puppies you can rescue??

Everybody likes puppies.

[Bluestar]

27. Chimpy Knows About the oil

Unbelievable! The only information that the Chimp has is about the oil pipeline. Did you hear it? He said, "Colonial will be at 80%".

Also, did I just hear the guy on the bus going to the Superdome say that they are blocking off streets in NO for the chimp's motorcade? I swear, if his presence for this stupid PR tour keeps these people from getting the help they need for one minute more, my head will explode!

What did America do to deserve this??

[Neecy]

28. Good GOD!

THIS is supposed to be useful? Haley Barbour explaining to Bush what a really, really baaaad storm this was?

Outrageous. Fake. Fucked UP.

[DrDan]

29. isn't it strange to see this going on and junior not asking any

questions?????

Have you ever seen a leader not ask questions - particularly during a crisis?????

[habitual]

30. Smirking the whole time he talks

once he started, the smirking and acting that he knows everything started and it is quite disgusting.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. SWAGGER SWAGGER TOUGH GUY IMAGE PUKE!

HE MAKES ME SICK! I am so OUTRAGED I can't think straight! POS LIAR UNFEELING SHITHEAD! PARDON MY FRENCH, BUT I'M PISSED!

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Jr just told us who can't grasp the scope of the destruction that it's

like the whole place is obliterated and "Now we're gonna comfort people in that part of the World, Thank you, Thank you very much." Elvis bush has left the building! :puke:

[JimmyJazz]

32. HOW DARE THEY APPLAUD! HOW FUCKIN' DARE THEY!

:mad:

[alcibiades_mystery]

33. Bush looks forward to sitting on the porch of Trent Lott's house

And "Brownie" - the total disaster FEMA director - is "doin' a heckuva job" (!!!!!!)

This is a shocking display. Absolutely shocking.

[SillyGoose]

34. "BROWNIE" is doing a "heck of a job"....

:mad:

I thought the "response was unacceptable" a couple hours ago??

[charlie]

35. Hee!

Even Daryn Kagan thought it was stoopid. Rush must be dumping a load in his skivvies right now.

[Fridays Child]

38. Twitchy McPseudoSerious just got chewed up and spit out by CNN.

[Wilber_Stool]

40. It is now official.

This country has no leaders. Not from either side of the aisle.
Just one person, just one, to stand up and at least give the illusion of leadership. But nothing. Nothing.

[LunaSea]

41. "every life is precious"

unbelievable...
