Bush family photo: how many have served in the military?

[paineinthearse]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2010783 inspired this thought.

How many pictured in this January 6, 2005 family portrait are veterans? How many 18-35 year olds are currently serving?

1. Babs the daughter is so much prettier than Jenna

Never understood why most guys thought Jenna was better looking. Must be the blond hair. What's up with poppy's eye? He always looks like that lately. * looks like a smug prick. Laura looks like a machine. Jeb looks like either tweedle dee or tweedle dum. Not sure which. Babs the mom is just a c_nt. The rest of their family can go to hell too. Fuck it. I'm an equal opportunity hater when it comes to them.

4. Check out G Dub's boots. nt

[melnjones]

7. wow...

those are some hideous boots.

[Poiuyt]

20. I never realized that shitkickers were part of a formalwear ensemble

[TomInTib]

Actual Texans

vs. CT cheerleaders - know that you never show that much boot. Shouldn't be able to see the ankle when seated, much less those tacky presidential seals halfway up his leg

Dude's a nerd in floodpants...

Even the Rebuplicans in Texas know this much!

[TomInTib]

23. Actual Texans

vs. CT cheerleaders - know that you never show that much boot. Shouldn't be able to see the ankle when seated, much less those tacky presidential seals halfway up his leg

[paineinthearse]

35. those tacky presidential seals halfway up his leg

I thought if that, but if you look at every square millimeter of the photo (especially the large one), there is not one hair out of place, all shoes are perfectly polished, the gown hems just graze the carpet......

Are they all dead? Is this neocon heaven?

[kath]

41. I wonder if he has the pRez seal on his undies too?

It's on his belt buckle as well as his boots.

What a fokkin' idiot...

[Kittycat]

38. Close-up of Boots (pix) - Dear god what an idiot

We had a discussion on another board today asking if you would wear Flip-flops to meet the president. Responses ranged from, only if they match my "Impeach Bush" t-shirt to "no way, regardless of how much I dislike him - it's a disgrace to the position - not him that matters"

Well, after seeing this, I might as well show up without shoes all together - for shame :rofl:

[kath]

39. Oh my Gawd!!

[niyad]

5. please don't dishonour the c-word by using it in the same context as a

member of the bush family. it is an honourable and ancient title for the goddess, and it is a root word in our language--kin, knowledge, etc.

[GregW]

33. I've always thought that Jenna looked like she had FAS

She has that wide-spread, piggy-eye look that is common in people suffering from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome ... only thing is ... I know * was/is a lush, never knew Pickles also hit the bottle (in addition to the cigs)

:shrug:

[kath]

40. Actually, Chimpy is the one who looks VERY FAS.

It's been discussed on Salon for years (and here too, I assume)

[vicman]

2. Good lord!!!

That's fucking hideous. What's wrong with their eyes????!!!...... aaaarrrghhhhh... gasp...

[napi21]

3. Did you see the boots Shrub is wearing????

Boots with the presidential seal on them??? OH man! I lived in TX for 6 years, and I know most Texans are very proud of their State, but isn't this a little sophomoric?

[vicman]

6. I was struck

temporarily blind by the ghastly visages, but, you're right, nothing says "I'm an arrogant prick with delusions of granduer" louder than those insulting boots. Ugh.

[niyad]

11. boots? I thought they were galoshes. tacky, whatever they are. do you

supppose he has the presidential seal on everything because he can't remember that he is squatting in the oval office?

must be all the cocaine and alcohol in his "youth"

[Lindacooks]

17. Well, he loves playing dress-up more than 6 year old girls do.

I can just see the idiotic reasoning on his part 'I'm a gonna show the peoples that I'm a REEEELLL cowboy!'

[napi21]

18. Yeah! I'm sure he wants to look like a real cowboy, but.....

real cowboys and REAL TEXANS wouldn't be caught dead in something like that!

[Submariner]

8. I'd take a whack at the blonde standing behind George Washington

but would I respect myself in the morning?

[Jim Sagle]

13. How DARE you insult George Washington that way????

That's J. Edgar Hoover!

[Ilsa]

9. George P. Bush doesn't look much like Columba or Jebbie, IMO.

Was he adopted?

[kestrel91316]

10. Which one is Jeb's junkie daughter? Don't tell me they left her out??

[Catch22Dem]

12. You're right, I don't think she's there

Although, I've only seen her MUG SHOT, so I might not recognize her. :evilgrin:

[JI7]

14. maybe she was in jail at the time the pic was taken

[snowbear]

15. She was over at Limbaugh's house doin' some Oxycontin...

:evilgrin:

[Benhurst]

16. Back to the original question posed by this post: Two served,

George H. W. Bush in WWII and Barbara, who put in a short stint as a Sherman Tank during the Korean War. Three if you count AWOL.

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Barbara Bush?

Seriously?

[Benhurst]

31. Sorry, FreedomAngel82. I guess my joke fell flat.

I said she served briefly AS a Sherman tank in Korea, not in one.

[paineinthearse]

43. I got it

[Benhurst]

44. Thanks for the picture, paininthearse.

:hi:

[elperromagico]

19. The Youthful Indiscretion World Tour hits Washington DC!!!

[orleans]

21. Jenna says: "Is this a pop quiz? Because you didn't tell us

you were giving us a quiz! Can it be multiple choice? It's not an essay question is it? If I tell you the truth about my dad can I get a few extra credit points? I could really use those extra credit points."

[Big Kahuna]

22. Marvin Bush

He's the guy on the bottom-left.. looks pretty laid back. I have seen him a few times in Kennebunkport Maine... what's his story? He seems like he's the slacker or black sheep in the Bush family.

[AntiCoup2K4]

26. I used to think Marv was the "white sheep" of the family (token non crook)

...but that's before I found out he was involved with security at the World Trade Center....

[kskiska]

32. Marvin's the sickly one

He's had colitis all his life and now has a colostomy bag.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Only Poppy as far as I know

I think Prescott did too. But I'm not for sure. Only one I'm really sure of is Poppy. He was a real fighter pilot unlike George.

[AntiCoup2K4]

27. Prescott "served" in World War II

...for the other team, that is.

[Lochloosa]

28. There is something very telling in the way the shurb is sitting...

notice that all the other girly men in the pic have their legs open and accesible. *'s legs are drawn in, kind of like he does not want anyone to touch him or his pee pee....I'm sure there is a psychologist that can explain the significance of this.

And on Edit: isn't one of Jeb's daughters missing....hummm

[leftofthedial]

29. I think poppy is the only one to serve

(at least without deserting)

and he killed his crew

caveat: there are a few of those bushturd degenerates whose histories I don't know

[Vickers]

30. Omigawd, George and Poppy are the only ones wearing lapel flags!!!

THE REST OF THEM ARE GODLESS TERRORISTS!!!!!!

[paineinthearse]

34. Are you sure they are US flags?

Perhaps they are from an oil-rich kingdom?

[Ian David]

36. Prescott Bush aided Hitler. Pappy Bush deserted his air crew

The only military "Hero" in the BFEE bailed out of a perfectly landable plane and left the rest of his crew to die.

[windbreeze]

37. Formal Wear, including white socks...boots????

O-M-G!!! and as if that isn't bad enough, he's got that shit eating grin on his face...
windbreeze

[LissaM]

42. LoL!

This thread is funny! And I'm too tired to come up with anything witty of my own so I'll just laugh at you guys!! (the boot comments are the best.)
