1. What The Fuck Is He Wearing? A $5 Blazer! n/t

[benburch]

3. Hard to tailor for what he is wearing.

He has on full body armor and those "smart shirts" that are studded with medical sensors and clotting factor fabric, and an AED, along with all of the transmitters and etc that go with it.

And I doubt that his tailors are cleared to see exactly what he is wearing.

[gratuitous]

16. Would it kill him to wear a tie?

Of course, he's not showing up to do his job any time soon, so I guess we'll have to settle for the president we have, not the one we wish we had.

[benburch]

17. A tie complicates things for the medics in an emergency.

I am sure he has been asked NOT to wear one when in transit in the view of the public where somebody might be taking aim at him.

2. On the plane again...let's see that's 5 for 5 days this week.

[benburch]

4. I comfort myself with the knowledge that each flight could end in disaster

And if there were a just God, would.

9. I'm sure Georgie isn't given the controls

[Virginia Dare]

11. ..and then we have President Cheney ready to take control..

not a very comforting thought.

:-(

[benburch]

14. If his ticker stands up to a month of it...

I'd be amazed.

[Vickers]

5. Does he still throw a baseball like a sissy?

And he forgets the tie, but made DAMN sure he had his flag lapel pin. :rofl:

What a doofus!

[benburch]

6. What goes through the minds of his Marine Corps honor guard?

I can only imagine how much contempt they must have for him.

7. I'll let you decide...

:evilgrin:

15. Hahahaha, way to go, BETTY!

8. I think there is going to be A LOT of booing

tonight when he lobs out the first pitch.

He hasn't appeared in front of a public
(meaning not his cronies)
audience since i don't know when.

I hope the chorus of disapproval
is undeniable

[sce56]

10. Hey that would be a great one to record and have Jon Stewart Play on TDS

???????????????????

That would be neat!

[flordehinojos]

12. dirty bloody thumbs-up thumb!

is he wearing his residential boots? you know the ones with the seal of the presidency on them?

bastard boy!

[tnlefty]

13. Thumbs up because he didn't fall flat on his face while disembarking?

he should be pleased with his little man self.

[Eurobabe]

19. I wonder what time he flew over Cincy, at noon

I heard this very loud large, droning plane, and felt the vibes from an alien overhead. I bet it was AF-1.

[Eurobabe]

21. Found a PIX from today, he's the kiss of death for

anyone or anything he comes into contact with! No wonder the Reds got spanked!
