The President of the United States
When disaster threatens the nation, the president's job is crucial! He swings into action, on the phone to key agencies, making conference calls, demanding fast meetings, barking sharp commands, assessing progress every five minutes, in charge and in control!

Oh, and then there's Chimpy...



(Seriously -- they were trying for "engaged, in command" photo ops, and this is the best they could do?!? Pitiful.)

1. Yeah....
...but Colonel Winkidink back there has a substitute smirk on his Can'tC face. Oh, by the way, Colonel, get a real military haircut, you ain't Tom Cruise.

3. Now, now, now.
There's always a chance he's thinking "what a jerk" to himself.

7. Haircut rules don't apply to flag officers and the upper staff
Who's going to enforce it? A Technical Sergeant?

Drop and give me 50, Colonel!

5. Yep, the guy looks like he's amused by something....
as opposed to star struck over being in the room with the Asswipe in Chief.

10. That's how I see it...
Wonder how much fussing makeup and hair people had to do over Chimpy for this photo--and what he looked like before the photo-op?

16. You know the photographer did the best he/she could...
Somehow managed to get a shot in during the fraction of a second where * was 1) upright and 2) had his eyes open.

Probably harder to accomplish than photographing a lightening strike.

This photographer ought to receive some type of award for this amazing feat.

17. What you can't see in this photo
is Rove crouching behind him, propping him up with both hands.

8. He has been wearing a light blue shirt for a month now.
What is up with that?? Is it to comfort us? Is it to make it look like he has been working so hard that he has not had time to change his shirt? HMMM?

18. Bourbon is my friend
I can't wait to go visit my good friend. He is always there for me. After we sit and have a visit, I get smarter and can talk to the peasants.

I like Army guys. They are my friends, too. I wonder hom many of them will die when Mr. Bourbon says they have to go to Iraq and fight the terrists.

I gotta pee now.

24. Thanks newyawker99.
Actually I have been lurking here for years. I have admired many DU posters here, especially posters like the Magistrate. I haven't seen any of his posts recently. Is he still around?

22. Welcome McLuhan
...this was too easy.

"God, I wish I had a good, stiff drink about now!" is all he ever thinks.
