Look at the photographs. :grr:

31. LOL... How convenient to have a large American flag as a backdrop...

Yikes!

[punpirate]

3. Must be using a new ad agency...

... "Hurricane Relief" isn't written out 400 times in the background.

[applegrove]

4. The Blue is to calm people. Finally - Bush takes control!

[Z_I_Peevey]

5. What the hell is that background image

on the right, behind the words?

[Lindsay]

6. Looks like a young Audrey Junior

from "Little Shop of Horrors."

Appropriate.

:shrug:

[Radio_Lady]

7. Looks like palm trees, blowing in the wind. But what are the little

squares for? Subliminal something...

[w8liftinglady]

11. a death mask? nt

[wellstone_democrat]

8. ha ha keep those fake "victims" up front george

that's really smart. That was a set up and if you want to push it, someone will take you up on it!

[Radio_Lady]

10. Are these the women from Durban, South Africa with the white shoes?

[goclark]

19. No, I never saw these two ladies

Maybe they are from "Rent A Lady.com"

[Spazito]

21. yes, they are

27. After risking frying my PC, I visited the WH site and these

ARE NOT the 2 gals with the SQEAKY WHITE SNEEKERS. I stand corrected.

12. Nauseating.

[nothometoday]

13. OMG

I feel Breakfast, Lunch and supper coming back up..........

[Quixote1818]

14. Hurricane relief???? How about nausea relief??? Anyone have some

Rolaids. Thats the only way to spell relief after seeing this!

[Ice4Clark]

15. Nice of them to change the color of her shirt from Blue to

yellow, or did they find her some clothes? hmmmmmm.........photo shopped?

Guess her blue shirt would have looked washed out in this background color........

Come to think of it, W was wearing a light blue shirt too? Maybe they got together in a reunion and took a few more pics after they found some clothes.



I STAND CORRECTED. The folks in the banner ARE NOT the 2 Bassier girls. I visited the WH site and looked at the pic used and it's not them.

[Z_I_Peevey]

18. And they've all picked up nice haloes too. n/t

[highplainsdem]

16. Y'know, if that were a swirling toilet bowl with * in it,

instead of the swirling hurricane background, it would be much more honest.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

37. They have the blue color spot on...

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Are you kidding me?

:puke: What nerve! How dare they!! :argh: I swear my head is going to explode! :nuke:

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Of course

And yes I'm going to join in the throwing up department.

[Catchawave]

22. I thought it was a joke til I checked my properties thing....

yep, whitehouse.gov ! Oy!

[soup]

28. Me, too.

Sorry I doubted it.

The shopped, chopped and cropped pic is in the slideshow on the page. It's a flash or something, won't let me capture and post it.

Also wondered where in the hell the flag came from... In the picture, there's a black guy who just happens to be in the background who just happens to have it slung over his shoulder on a really long pole.

Wasn't a protester arrested for carrying a flag on a pole along the 'mighty one's' motorcade route and refusing to move? getting too close? Can't remember the details - but this is just nutz.
NUTZ I say NUTZ.

[MsTryska]

24. where'd he find those black people?

i've never seen that picture before?

what if it's a cut and paste of him and the squeaky queen looting girls?

26. Why do I have this periodic urge to vomit lately?

Oh, never mind...it's the constant stream of cynical bullshit like this that does it.

Thanks, TYJ, for posting it anyway. Every time I think these fuckers can't get any more cyinical, along comes something like this.

29. See? It's ME! I'm on the job! Honest!

The center of attention yet again. Never mind the cake and the guitar just kneel and face Crawford!!

[soup]

30. Wait! there's more!!!

Another 'just happens to be carrying a freakin flag and yes it's election year in Florida guy'.


Note the gruff looking fellow and his shattered home. Note George W. with his arm slung around him like they were old college roommates. And most importantly, note the somewhat faded American flag.

Ask yourself, why the fuck is there an American flag in this photo of an apparent moment of spontaneous compassion?

34. Hey! I think that's the photo I was thinking of in post #33

Not the same banner, mind you, but the same Shrub and guy put in the new Katrina banner.

Kicking myself for not bookmarking that thread.

[Strawman]

32. This is more like it

Kinda shitty, but someone with superior Photoshop skills can probably do this better.

[kitkat65]

36. Bwaaaaaaaa!

Snap!

:rofl:

[jane_pippin]

33. Wow, that's an improvement--at least he was actually WITH the people

in the pics. An astute DU'er caught this banner earlier in the week--before * had been to the area--and it had the same background but the "Comforting Shrub" part was different. It was him and a guy and a flag, like this, but it must have been and old photo stuck in there.

I thought I had it bookmarked and with all the activity I can't search. If anybody has it, I wouldn't mind seeing the two side by side.

[magellan]

35. Meeting with REAL victims in REAL scenarios wasn't good enough

Imagine using props in such a situation. Who the fuck needs props? The locals aren't scared, lost, tired enough for this WH? The tremendous heaps of junk piled behind that used to be their homes aren't adequate backdrop? Why does everything have to reflect on DIMSON?? This disaster isn't about him, but he makes it about himself by staging all these photos. It's an insult to everyone who's suffering!!

KEEP IT UP, BUSH**, YOU SMALL MAN, YOU INSIGNIFICANT PIECE OF FILTH, AND YOU'LL BRING THE WRATH OF THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY DOWN ON YOUR HEAD.
