1. "Why are you bothering me with all this shit?" eom

eom

[calimary]

49. I think that's EXACTLY what he's thinking.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, I had to leave Crawford early for this shit... I dunno what the fuck to do about any of this. What am I supposed to do about it, anyway? Aw, leave me alone, people. Whaddya want from me? I got things to do."

Awwww, georgie-poopsie, I guess you can't even tell us to "watch this drive" when you're stuck doing this stupid compassionate conservative stuff you don't really believe in, but you're still stuck doing it because you need the photo ops. How sad for you.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

55. wasn't I just here? where's my clubs? where's my bike. Hate this shit

I can just see his thought process.

[libhill]

71. My thoughts exactly -

Poor Chimpy, first that ol' hippeye woman has the audacity to camp outside his ranch, over some triviality like her son being killed in his oil war. And then, he had to break off his vacation two days early, just because this hurricane killed a few hundred thousand poor people who are poor 'cuz they're too lazy to work. Life is really rough when you're a clueless cokehead spoiled rotten little frat turd. My heart really goes out to him. Not -

[madmom]

2. he looks a little scared in the last one..n/t

[salin]

6. he has that look that one gets when the person on the phone won't

stop talking - and one moves the phone away from the ear - and does that "freeze until they stop talking - and please stop talking soon as I am no longer listening to you" look.

[susu369]

15. More than a "little scared" IMHO

he really looks so tiny and cowered by Franklin Jack....

[libhill]

72. Probably

never been that close to a real live Black person before -

[Indy65]

75. He looks scared ,

this is the first time in his life he is face to face with reality.

[stray cat]

3. I guess at least he has stopped laughing and joking around.

Maybe he saw some poll numbers?

[Fovea]

4. Would someone get him his bottle of Chivas

with the rubber nipple on it, just the way he likes it?

Otherwise he is going to start foaming at the mouth again.

[DemoTex]

18. Bu$h looks seriously Hotel Oscar.

Hung Over.

[Shadder]

5. Photo 3

Look at the face of the woman in the third photo standing next to him. So much for that photo op

[SledDriver]

20. Looks like he's saying...

"see, if you darkies weren't so poor, you'd have more money..."

[kliljedahl]

45. That's utter contempt

Kinda' like what I've felt since 2001. What a POS he is.

[BlueJac]

7. Can anyone look any more not interested??

The chimp might as well go back to DC to his cage. Think it might be time for a nap and for Karl to feed him!

[Waya]

12. Poor George....

...he looks baffled and confused. Probably can't understand why the population isn't adoring, cheering and grateful....
He's all gonna have them punished by Karl.....

[sickinohio]

8. Alisa Eugene looks

like she's pissed at the chimp

[roguevalley]

79. poor widdow caligula. has to cough up an emotion he doesn't have.

he's always been protected from the consequences of his bullshit. now it looks like he might have to go to jail. HA! Good.

[MuseRider]

9. Bored and surly.

Where's the love George? Where's all that compassion you bullshitted us about? Huh?

[Talismom]

10. Like the petulant, bratty, little, rich boy that he is! Oh I'm so

nauseated by the whole situation!:puke:

[StellaBlue]

14. I'm with you on that one

:puke:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

At least he hasn't kissed anyone yet...

:evilgrin:

[Wickerman]

23. lol

:rofl:

I'm saving that one

[Mikimouse]

11. Interesting T-shirt in photo 3...

The woman on the far right is wearing what appears to be a clean shirt with a Texas flag, a Us flag and the word in the middle is President. I cannot read the rest of it. Anyone with better eyes?

[mom cat]

82. I think you are right! Can someone enlarge this and check!

[hippiechick]

13. "Dammit people, it's a HOLIDAY!"

"I'm s'posed to be at a Barbeque !" :puke:

[NYC]

26. That was my thought.

Normally, Bush wouldn't be working at all. He's been forced to go here to save his reputation. (Save? Pull it out of the trash.)

[Chicago Democrat]

16. Don't hurt me angry Black man!

:Puke:

[bluedog]

17. I've seen him before

isn't he the man who was on the nesa yelling about the poeple starving and such in the convention center?

[jillan]

27. I thought the same thing too.

This is awful to say - but I wish he would show Bush the same passion that he displayed infront of the convention center a few days ago:evilgrin:

Actually I am happy to see that his family finally got help.

[daninthemoon]

19. Didn't finish my vacation, don't get my labor day off, and I gotta

hang out with black people. This job is too hard.

[FightingIrish]

21. Photo 4 is my favorite. "Clueless in Baton Rouge"

[sakabatou]

22. My captions

"You know, I-I-I'm a war president..."


"I didn't ask you a God-dammed thing!"

[susu369]

24. Thank you - I really needed a good laugh

:rofl:

[sakabatou]

65. Got that from "Leave it to Bush"

[emulatorloo]

31. mine

GWB: "Don't Blame Me, I voted for Kerry!"

[Benbow]

25. Photo 4 : he looks like Norman Wisdom n/t

In fact, when a film is made of Dubya's life, Norman Wisdom will play the part of the President - oh, wait, is Wisdom dead?

[kliljedahl]

47. Yeah. it'd be type casting

[C_U_L8R]

28. He's feeling awefully sorry for himself

Sorry George... we're not the army of compassion....
go screw yourself.

[OneTwentyoNine]

29. Ok,just how MANY damn trips do I need to make to his hell hole?

Bush's compassion is just FUCKING overwhelming.....

[calimary]

50. Especially since I doubt any of these folks voted for me in the first

place. So why do I have to waste my time and come all the way down here and sit with 'em? Buncha ingrates! Don't they realize the sacrifice I've made? Why can't we just hire some babysitters, kkkarl? This is LABOR DAY. I'm not supposed to have to work today! Hell, I'm supposed to still be on vacation!!! Why've they got me working? Why can't I go back to the ranch some more? GAWD, I need a drink... anybody got any Jim Beam?

[Roland99]

30. * goes to Bethany World Prayer Center...did God tell him to go there?

Why not one of the myriad other locations? He has to pick that place? A shout-out to his Fristian fans?

[bvar22]

32. If looks could kill,

[Vickers]

33. That man looks like HE needs a VACATION!

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

42. Five weeks in Crawford should do it.

[Mabus]

68. I'd suggest 5 to 10 (years) in a federal pen

but that's just me.

[cliss]

34. Thanks for the update, BEB.

"A picture tells a thousand words".

I think the look on his face is on a combination of boredom and fear. Boredom, because he really doesn't want to be there. He already said, "I'm not looking forward to going (to the South)". He doesn't care about people.

He cares even less about people in distress. It bothers him that when he took his oath of office, he committed to protect the American people in times of need. He sure regrets that promise.

The FEAR is about his plunging poll numbers. He knows that if Americans get pushed too far, they're going to revolt. And then he's dead meat.

He's hoping the Photo-ops and blaming everyone but himself will defuse some of that.

[applegrove]

35. Again - just like the new WH logo on Katrina, Bush wears a greaish

blue shirt to calm people down.

[Tracer]

36. He signed her T-shirt.

Yep. Although it must have been "hard werk", he went around the back of Ailisa Eugene and scribbled his name on her shirt.

I saw this with my own two eyes.

[mzteris]

37. Let's compare

http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/pl/081201presidentbush/im:/050905/480/lalj10109051608

?

[bleever]

59. Please consider posting this as its own thread, with a good title

like "Let's compare: Bush and Clinton with hurricane victims".

[peekaloo]

38. Last photo looks like he's reaching over and swiping something from that

basket and that guy busted him.

[SoCalifer]

39. GOD I need a vacation!

This is hard work..

[Bernardo de La Paz]

58. Bush is getting old. He is having to think and that ages him.

[chomskysright]

40. SHAME is the Achilles heel of the Republican Party: outline for its uses:

I’ve come to the conclusion that SHAME is the PsyOps maneuver the Dems should and can use. Yes, you have to wait until ‘after the event’ but ‘after the event’ e.g., Iraq War, NOLA, are examples where SHAME can be utilized and it is the neocon Achilles heel if not that of the entire Republican party.

Think about SHAME for a moment. How does it feel to you to feel ashamed---of something you have done or not done. If you are in the place of shame, you have been thinking about something that has already occurred. It is already in your mind. Otherwise, you would not so obviously feel shame.

I gave out 2 diff pieces of paper: 1: ¾ page outline of what CAFTA is, how it affects us (using a public.citizen.org reference) and what Taylor’s non-vote had done. 2. Mary Olson’s information re: the war: small piece of paper (I think people were more willing to take just a small piece of paper) and as I presented it, I said: “Sir would you like some information about the war” and if they reached to take it, I spoke loudly for others around them to hear, ‘over 1800 dead American soldiers’ and clearly the shame registered for about 75% of those people.

I’m reminded of the very exasperated questioner re: the McCarthy hearings, asking Joe McCarthy something to this effect: “Have you no SHAME sir?”

When I was in Hendersonville today, I mapped out my interactions with probably 200 people as I walked around with my very tall, homemade sign that stated on one side: “GOP = Death” and the other, “Ask Charles about CAFTA.” I stood across from the Republican Party shelter during the parade.

1. quite a few people do not know what GOP means.
2. quite a few people do not know what CAFTA means. The ones that do are perturbed with Taylor. Concommitantly, the sign which was purported to be there, which I did not see, “CAFTA got your tongue” would have, IMHO, pretty useless if useless is defined as lots of people don’t get it except for Mr. Taylor and the GOP regulars and people who knew about CAFTA and were already convinced that it was a bad thing. In other words, I believe it would have a minimal effect if by effect you want to change people’s votes.

So, as a psychologist who has developed questionnaires, the development of materials for distribution in order to educate people has to pay attention to what people know and it has to attend to what the purpose of the material is: to educate? To shame?; to bellow? .

So, let’s back up: what’s the sample of the population like in Hendersonville, NC? I don’t know the actual number but I do know that Hendersonville is a stronghold for Taylor. He strode down the street today, shaking hands with anyone who wanted to and when I asked him, as I popped to the front of the crowd: “Mr. Taylor: Can you tell us about your CAFTA vote”, he paused just very briefly, and he stated, “I did vote for CAFTA” which we know is either a lie or very close to a lie. In any case, his vote did ot register.

Here would be my suggestions for future such gatherings (that is, the population at large, and not as associated with rallies which are associated with preaching to the choir):

1. target the distribution according to the population: Hendersonville is rural in part, quite Republican. CAFTA means lost jobs to those in textiles and agriculture, as far as I can tell. Any documentation of its effects either now or in the future need to be fully exploited and advertised.

2. More, many more Dems, need to come out. I saw 4 older ladies at the Hendersonville Dem HQ and that was IT people save for one other woman I just ran into walking around and Mary Olson and her partner, Pete.

3. Fully exploit the human emotion of SHAME, which is present except in people who are without a superego and there is no reaching them in any case (but probably only 10% of the American population overall is in this category and probably less if you could really target something they are interested in).

And here is the Shame statement for the day: “HOW MANY SOLIDERS PER GALLON DOES YOUR SUV GET?” and frankly that could really be stated otherwise (and in this, we also shame ourselves which is not a bad thing): “HOW MANY SOLDIERS PER GALLON DOES YOUR CAR GET?”

[Arugula Latte]

41. Hey Bush, your nicknames not working anymore?

Can't bullshit your way out of this one, huh? The, Oh, "I'm such a Scamp" act wearing a little thin?

No wonder you're so pissy and grumpy.

Your little game has been revealed.

[opihimoimoi]

43. The man is a Fake.....he cannot be Human...the only answer is ALIENS

are here posing as Human.

They are here to take over the Planet in the easiest possible way...get us to fight among ourselves.

Look at his sick face....especially during this trying times post Storm...it is not HUMAN...

I'm not sure what the hell he is but he ain't fucking human....neither is that Stepford wife of his...

[texpatriot2004]

44. EVIL, EVIL MAN! Someone should wipe that smirk off his face. n/t

[fortyfeetunder]

46. He's in over his head

Think about it

9/11 man-made...he likes that, conflict...gets to play war president.

But Hurricane Katrina, is Mother Nature, he can't have a war on Mother nature....can't figure out how to deal with that type of conflict. Over his head...

[GeorgeBushytail]

48. That's his "compassionate conservative" expression - Scary

--
Help build Camp Katrina on The Mall!

50,000 Katrina survivors camped on Bush's doorstep. In the seat of government and power. Demanding answers and change.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

51. "I'm totally within my comfort zone."

Me and Barney.

[SillyGoose]

52. Notice the map behind * showing the early projected path of Katrina

in the 1st and 2nd photos. Interesting.

[Olney Blue]

60. Good observation.

:toast:

[bobbieinok]

53. last 2--in a corner as far away as possible from 'contamination' from blac

blacks

in picture with Blanco, she had arm around black woman....W not touching

[omega minimo]

54. Poor Little Caligula-- it's hard to tell if he's pissed cuz he thinks he's

the president or cuz he knows that he's NOT.

Looks like he wishes he had some



To the Greatest wit ye, Bush_Eats_Beef!

[Pam-Moby]

56. That is the look of dead brain cells.....................n/t

[intheflow]

57. I think he looks like he's aged 10 years in the past week.

I think he looks worried for his political ass. I don't think he looks as smarmy as usual, but I don't see compassion dripping form his eyes, either.

[Virginian]

61. That's a nice looking silk shirt he's wearing.

I would have thought he would have worn denim and chambray instead of silk.

[baron j]

81. That's the first thing I noticed:

the carefully calculated "casual" attire. His security are wearing a similar look. In fact, they always dress in complimentary pseudo-casual.

[struggle4progress]

62. If people can keep the pressure on, W's gonna throw a hissy fit in public

:D

[LeahD]

63. Sumptuous Chairs and Bottled Water for * and Company. n/t

[young_at_heart]

64. Mr. Smirk does not look very presidential

Where's the compassion?

[NVMojo]

66. he looks like he's overwhelmed, doesn't know how to handle "hard work"

[Mabus]

67. Give him a break

He was having to talk to people when it was his nap time. :sarcasm:

[TomInTib]

69. The face of "compassionate conservatism"

[Arkana]

70. "Look, I've got a game of GTA3 going in the Oval Office that isn't

going to play itself. Can we wrap this up? Like today?"

[checks-n-balances]

73. 'Grown man' automatically pouts when challenged or laughs inappropriately

He's very connected to his own feelings but utterly disconnected to the feelings and suffering of others. Eventually we see the real attitudes displayed on his face even if they aren't in his words.

[windbreeze]

74. Every time I see

this man's face...I understand all over again, why I can't fucking(hope I'm allowed to say that) stand to look at him...wonder if he had a problem getting that close to the unfortunate couple...hypocrit...they can thank him for being where they are...my captions below....

I don't want to hear that!...
What do you mean, Gov.Blanco wouldn't let me take over her state? I cut the damned funding so she wouldn't have a chance when this happened!
I hope you know I had nothing to do with the situation you're in...
What do you mean, you didn't vote for me?
windbreeze

[AspenRose]

76. SIGH "I've got to get on with my life....."

[BlueIris]

77. It's that second to last photo I love. The woman there? Pissed.

Let me first post that my heart goes out to those people. Not only have they lost their homes, lives, jobs, and sense of stability, they have to deal with *. And the female survivor there? Not afraid to reveal her true impression of him. Look at her face. What do YOU think she thinks?

[lumpy]

78. He's been reading the polls.

Must be tough to realize he is not the hero he wants to be and his God has let him down.

[terrya]

80. Fuck, he's got that "don't bother me" look in photo 1

I've seen that look before. That's his "I'd rather be knocking back a pint of Johnny Walker Red down at the ranch than deal with this stupid shit" look. It's irritating and shows, as if we need more proof, what a vile, disgusting prick he is.

[calimary]

83. True. The top two pictures in the OP scream it out -

"sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-it, do I really gotta be here? Can I leave now? Isn't it enough that I had to cut my vacation short for this? C'mon - whaddya want from me? I wanna go home. How long do I have to stay here? Anybody know how much longer this is gonna take? Wish these people'd stop botherin' me... Can I leave now? I'm done. You got yer photos, okay. I'm done. I got important things to do... I need to get on with my life, y'know..."

[formercia]

84. Check out the wrinkles on his forehead in #1

not a calmness indicator. He's severely stressed out. That boy needs a drink.

[paparush]

85. Bush: Aint you that same black guy..

who works for the Mexspanic guy who cleans my pool?
