Bush has time for this?






U.S. President George W. Bush (R) bestows the Medal of Honor upon Corporal Tibor Rubin during a ceremony at the White House in Washington September 23, 2005. Rubin, a Holocaust survivor born in Hungary, emigrated to the U.S. and enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was honored on Friday for his heroic actions during the Korean War. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque

Looks like he's having a hard time there.

3. He's planning ahead - just incase he needs some
recruits for the NEXT Korean War. At least this guy will already know the lay of the land, right? :sarcasm:

5. Jeez, it looks like he's strangling that poor guy.
The look on Rubin's face is like the look on my dog's face if I were to tie him up on a short leash.

8. Yeah, and to think they swapped out the hooks for velcro fasteners
to make it go more smoothly.

(I really have no idea what the fastener is.)

That poor man looks like he's about to be hung.
