5. I wouldn't want that kind of fame.
I don't know what the freeps think of this one...probably they're salivating over how "lucky" he was to have met Bush.

:silly:

3. looks like he's not even playing it
just kinda rocking back and forth with it like a 3 year old with a toy.

plus the fact that it has a presidential seal on it just makes my skin crawl.

8. There's a huge difference between this and the "Pet Goat" incident...
Bush didn't plan and execute Hurricane Katrina so his guitar photo op was him really not caring instead of him pretending not to care. Huge difference.

9. Does anyone know if President Nero can actually PLAY
that thing? I'm sure if he really could play a guitar they would have been using it as a folksy prop for the past 6 years or more.

11. My heart just breaks for those little girls...
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 07:39 AM by Totally Committed
this is a horror that will stay with those children their whole lives. While, at the same moment, our President blissfully strums his guitar.

Nice to see he's managed to "go on" with his "balanced" life, though. According to him, that's what we, the American people, want for our President.

"Being President is hard work." -- George W. Bush

12. I was thinking yesterday that it's actually worse than My Pet Goat.
At least then he could say he was trying to avoid alarming the children.

This time, what does he say? "I was trying to avoid alarming the Republican Party donors?"

Asshole.

14. How about
"I was trying to calm people with the dulcet tones of a country guitar. It was hard work but I stayed the course."

Anything to avoid an unpleasant duty -- it's one way that W is consistent. I really do wonder how his mind works.

16. I emailed a copy of that photo to everybody I know...
Republican and Democrat with the title "Nero fiddled....". My Dem friends will pass it on. I am not sure what the Repukes will do with it. Probably ignore it.

19. and he's playing an open G chord in the wrong fret
unless that guitar is tuned down (for stupidity)

he's too dumb to know how to use a power chord, I guess.

Unfuckingbelievable.
