Shrub Looked Weird(er than usual)

[EmmaP]

BF and I both thought Bush looked stranger than usual last night and we knew it had something to do with his shirt. I thought he had too much of the shirt tucked into the back of his pants, thus the collar was riding up too far and BF thought the shirt was the wrong size...finally....the answer...he can't even fucking dress himself.....

[TerdlowSmedley]

1. Big rectangular lump on back has made return.

Takes up a lot of shirt.

[chelsea0011]

2. I knew my son would be President someday. He does that all the

time with his scout uniform.

[Steely_Dan]

3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LAUGHING MY ASS OFF.

[Elidor]

4. Is our president getting dumberer?

The bar is so low already.

[despairing optimist]

5. The picture in the attic needs a makeover

He was also slurring his speech--I would say, alarmingly, but I feel numbness when confronted with him--more often than he had been. The teleprompter must have been on high speed because his delivery was more mechanical than usual too. He mouthed the words but wasn't there, and then he left his feelings in some faraway place and time.

I would say that it was a pitiable performance, but I have nothing but anger toward him and save my empathy for more deserving specimens of humanity.

[hardrainfallin]

8. he's almost always slurring his speech now

"seasoned" alcoholics, especially those from the upper classes, are very skilled at hiding their drunkenness.

He's back on the bottle, there's no doubt in my mind.

I just wish there'd be away we could get UAs or blood tests to prove it.

He was dangerous enough when he was (supposedly) sober, but now he's clearly, imo, back on the sauce.

only thing scarier than a madman is a drunken madman.

Fuck.
We're fucked people if we don't get this s.o.b. OUT.

[despairing optimist]

11. The only thing scarier than this guy is Cheney

He's next in line, and then there's Dennis Hastert, Ted Stevens. The hits just keep on coming.

As for *'s slurred speech being due to drunkenness, it can also be due to medications. He may be on antidepressants, tranquilizers, painkillers, and who knows what else. Remember Nixon and his addiction to Dilantin?

Oh, I never thought I'd long for the days of Nixon. These are sorry times for sure.

[hardrainfallin]

12. i was just talking to someone today who said the same

thing, about Nixon, I mean.

I was barely old enough to be cognizant of Nixon.

For me, Reagan was the first big political disaster.

I left the country because of him.

Stayed gone for a decade.

Now I know: ** makes Reagan look like a gentleman scholar and Nixon look like a saint.

As far as the dominoes in the chain.....god, I keep thinking if we could just *prove* the election fraud, then the whole lot of them would have to go, no?

[despairing optimist]

14. Hastert and Stevens wouldn't go. They are next in line after Cheney

and were, as far as I know, legitimately elected themselves. We're staring at a constitutional crisis. I don't know if Bush would resign as Nixon did. He may have to be carried out kicking and screaming. Cheney is no Spiro Agnew either; he's far, far worse. At least Agnew took his graft in white business envelopes stuffed into his desk. Cheney and his wife are right out there brazenly flaunting their conflicts of interest and raking in millions. This country has sunk lower than it ever had before.

[hardrainfallin]

19. It's worse than the days when Andrew Jackson was roving the

Wild West killing Indians by hand, for god's sake.

And no: neither Cheney nor Bush will go on their own--they don't have a shred of shame or integrity.

What I said to my friend about the "chain of command" problem that would put Hastert in: if we could manage, as a result of FEMA disaster, to FORCE the resignations of Bush, Chertoff, and Rumsfeld, it may be enough to frighten the rest of the cretins to watch their step.

That might buy us the time we need to fix the election system before they completely and totally destroy the country.....then there'd *possibly* still be hope for us if we gained some seats in 06 and got the WH back unter control 08.

Of course, this doesn't help us on the SCOTUS problem now, does it?

What a mess. What a mess.

[joeprogressive]

37. Where did you go?

Just curious if you had a good experience. I have been contemplating this for 5 years now. I have to tough it out for three more years because of some job and education commitments. New Zealand is high on my list and Ireland seems appealing also.

[hardrainfallin]

39. Germany. And yes, i very much enjoyed things like

public transportation--citywide, nationwide and to all bordering countries
6 wks paid vacation
solid labor laws that protected workers (in my case white collar)
universal health care (hospitalized once, for two weeks: cost me 10 bucks a day!)
highways and streets with no potholes
lively political activism (mass demonstrations against NUKES, against anti-abortion laws, against Gulf War I, uh gee, what else)
laws protecting renters
great unemployment comp and workers comp (actually unimaginable for our standards)


....

BUT

unfortunately
those days are long since GONE in Germany....I've been back many times since and am shocked and dismayed every time by how much like america it has become

as of 1996 it was clear: may as well forget it: it's turning into little America, absent the Indians, the Blacks and the Mexicans. No thanks.

The bread is still good (i mean, in the bakery)
the beer is still good

but it's "little America" all the way

:puke:

Ireland was great, and I've heard it's actually gotten BETTER since I was there.

Judging from your two choices, I'm assuming your mono-lingual?

Limits your choices.

i'm kicking myself in the teeth right now for having learned the WRONG foreign language.

South America is looking VERY appealing right now. I don't speak Spanish or Port. tho.

Shit.

[SharonRB]

25. I keep saying the same thing

We didn't know when we had it good. Never thought I'd long for Tricky Dicky.

[bluedawg12]

6. Turd blossoms hand puppet.

The hollywood lighting- with the stench of unburied corpses around him. yeesh.

[sdfernando]

7. What about his eyes?

Did anyone notice his eyes? The right eye especially? It looked like his pupils weren't dialated the same. What could cause this?

[enough]

9. Thank you, you have finally settled the button question once and for all.

Poor George. NOBODY cares what he looks like any more.

13. My 6 yo

just walked in and saw the picture.... first he said, is that Bush whining?

I said, "uh-huh. Notice his shirt?"

He looks. "He missed a button?"

"Yeah" I say.

He shakes his head, "he's so stupid" and walks off.

(Normally I don't let him call people stupid, but in this case...I let it slide.)

[ContraBass Black]

15. OMFG!

No way.

[Rainscents]

16. Why does he always wear blue shirt? I can't believe, they let him

dress himself! Whatta ditto head!

[Stinky The Clown]

17. In this picture, he looks like some cartoon bobble head

Think of those animations where they insert a human head on a cartoon body. That's what he looked like to me.

He is an embarrassment.

[Poiuyt]

23. His head didn't fit his body - out of proportion

The head seemed just slightly too large

[SharonRB]

26. LOL -- Exactly what I said

See my post below. He looks right out of JibJab.

[Cocoa]

28. or like a mascot

especially with the Disneyworld setting, and even the mic looks like mouse ears.

[laugle]

18. I told my husband, he looked like a munchkin from the land of OZ,

the way they photographed him from the chest up with that big building in back. We are living in the land of OZ, with Bush as the brainless scarecrow, Cheney as the heartless, tin man, Rumsfeld as the cowardly, lion, and condi as the wicked witch with Rove as the wizard! Funny how it all fits.

"As the mayor of the munchkin land... in the city of the land of OZ...we welcome you sooo regally....

I would laugh and be merry....life would be a dinga dairy....if I only had a BRAIN!!!!

[hardrainfallin]

20. puh-leeze....don't insult the munchkins. n/t

[npincus]

21. an authority (husband) on men's attire has confirmed Chimpy did not

button his shirt correctly last nite. He is sure of that, after studying the pics.

[speedoo]

22. Did he have that jaw working again?

I refuse to watch him....

Stomach can't take any more of him.

[SharonRB]

24. He reminded me of what he looks like in a JibJab video

or like a stick figure from KO's Puppet Theatre.

[leftofthedial]

27. thye unbuttoned him to install the Rove-a-Prompter on his back

and didn't get him buttoned back up straight

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. We were discusing this

no he did not button the shirt wrong, he is wearing a vest, which is STANDARD for any President since Caeter...

His shirt was not tailored for the vest, and yes there is a difference

[EmmaP]

38. But it's STILL buttoned incorrectly

You can wear a vest and still button your shirt properly. People do it all the time...well, I guess I should qualify that....MOST people can wear a vest and still button their shirts properly.

BF has a theory that the misbuttoning was done on purpose...to make the presnut look like "a regular guy" someone the people can feel empathy for...to get his approval ratings back up.

[Robertwf]

30. Velcro is the only way to go

B*** should only go with velcro closures. Easier to mix and match when on the road.

[cwydro]

31. if the shirt does not fit

you have to admit...
that our president is a twit..

[laylah]

34. Good one!

:rofl:

A belated welcome to DU! :toast:

Jenn

[Robertwf]

32. They Actually Have Him in a Straight Jacket

He didn't want to go down there again, fearing the dark. They put him in 4-point restraints, applied the jacket, put the tiny speaker in the back of his throat, surrounded him with Blackwater security guards and handed Karl 3 BigMacs to wolf down. It was risky, they knew, going without the power point presentation, but something had to be done.

35. And I can't believe...

that someone would seek out this many different threads on the same subject to post the exact same comments. Or that someone could deliberately seek out other threads just to ridicule them.

Why would anyone do such a thing immediately after registering? I can't quite figure that out. Officially, anyway.

[Julius Civitatus]

36. Yes, that's quite a mystery

I can't quite point my finger on it...

Hmmmmmm.....

:eyes:

40. He Needs a Bathroom Break, Where's Condi?
