[Sanity Claws]

1. * does not look engaged at all in the last photo

He looks bleary-eyed in all of them. What time of day were these photos taken?

[YOY]

8. The word is 'hungover'

Whether it's true or not it still fits.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. He looks really bored and like he wants to go back to bed

[ObaMania]

28. I think he's just jonesin' for some blow and a shot.

[BlueJac]

2. Shrub looks like a student trying to catch up.......

big money will not help him pass this class. The man is an idiot!

[Stephanie]

7. He looks like an earnest school boy. A prep-school boy.

[jackstraw45]

3. So SICK of this Photo-Op President....

:puke:

[Stephanie]

4. Everybody is

And the harder they try, the more it's not working.

[Frances]

6. Good observation

Rove limited Bush's appearances in the first term and that was a good idea.

The more the public sees Bush, the more clueless he looks.

[jackstraw45]

10. BTW, great Dr. Strangelove quote, Stephanie.

One of the all time classics...

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

30. Merkin Muffley would be a better president

than *.

[ClintonTyree]

5. Does that place-card say, Mr. President?

Can't they just sit down at the damned table without having to produce $500 place-cards so the chimp knows where to sit? Oy! :eyes:

[Stephanie]

9. Oh god you're right

I didn't notice that. I wonder who they contracted that job out to.

[Robeson]

12. Byzantine court rituals.

[Holly_Hobby]

13. Nope

It says, "Head Chimp"

[Robeson]

11. Bush looks bored and uninterested.

[Lisa]

14. Bush in Harvard Business School

(Don't forget -- he wasn't just some teenaged undergraduate -- this was a professional degree program.)

15. Boy is he ever drunk!

Either that or stoned. He doesn't have a clue where he is, but they sure dressed him up nice.

:kick:

[targetpractice]

16. I see they've taken his paper and pencil away.

After the "Condi, I need to tinkle" note fiasco at the UN, Karl probably forbid him from taking notes in public.

[A HERETIC I AM]

18. Colorado Springs is also home of Focus on the Family.....

Any bets he visits with James Dobson?

[cami715]

22. Is there a detox center there?

[A HERETIC I AM]

23. Probably, although if i had to sit with Dbson for more than 30 seconds....

I'd puke up every toxin in my body, thats for sure.

[Mikimouse]

19. Silly question...Why is that name plate turned toward the camera?

No one at the table is in a position to read it, only the cameraman, and maybe the guy on the end and *. Pretty useless for the others.

[Stephanie]

20. It's a placecard to tell them where to sit

So it faces the chairs.

[Mikimouse]

21. They should have put *'s in the lobby outside, for all the good...

his presence does.

[Straight Shooter]

24. bush is probably thinking, "I never could understand a weather map."

He looks absolutely out of his league. Someone should have tapped him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Stop slouching!" It seems as if he's about to slide right under the table in the last pic.

[LibraLiz1973]

25. Bush is thinking "Look at the pretty pictures"

I wonder what they all mean?

[spacelady]

26. In every one of these photos, shrub's shoulders are drawn up

almost to it's ears. Compare to the other people at the table. I am seeing disconnect combined with extreme tension. Explosive body language; would want to be behind IT. Might get spattered.

[Lisa]

27. good call ...

He seems to get really tense these days. His shoulders tightened visibly when he was walking away (and that reporter asked him that "getting in the way" question). He heard it, all right!

[oasis]

29. "It's hard work"....pretending to be interested.
