1. Check out the gin blossoms!

I've only seen those little red veins on hard-core, active alcoholics.

[Warpy]

7. The Europeans never airbrushed those things out

the way the US press has, and concealer hides them when he's on camera for his waste of time TV speeches.

That he's not being airbrushed into health and sobriety in the US press signals some sort of a change.

Gin blossoms can appear long after a drunk joins AA, stops drinking and becomes an alcoholic.

However, his performance at the G8 convinced all of us who have lived with drunks that he hasn't quit drinking.

[Clark2008]

38. Or pregnant women - and I'm certain he's not one.

[seabeyond]

41. good point. on second preg out the blue.... boom

they popped out on one cheek. not so bad the other cheek. was a wtf. then later i read this happens. something, huh. cause i rarely drink.... not all are associated with booze.

[rodeodance]

2. gee, what an old grouch!---te he Not very flattering. He and Condi are

a nice fit

[CoffeeCat]

3. What ARE all of those abrasions on his face?

Seriously...does Junior get his face dragged around on deep-pile shag
carpeting, or what?

Yep, he looks like evil incarnate.

Yep, he need to trim his eyebrows with a weed whacker.

Yep, it looks like he has a 1/2 cup of chew in his mouth.

A face that could launch a thousand ships (into the Persian Gulf).

[Warpy]

10. Those aren't abrasions

The five dollar term is "spider angiomas." The ten cent term is "gin blossoms." They're masses of capillaries near the surface of the skin, usually seen in drunks or heavy duty addicts. They signal liver damage.

[CoffeeCat]

18. Liver damage...

...sounds good to me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. If that isn't the picture of a psychotic evil rat bastard, I don't know what is.

sheesh. Could he be any more transparent? It looks like he can't control his psychotic episodes anymore. Did they take him off his meds?

[timtom]

44. That's exactly what I was thinking.

Pure malevolence. Sometimes I can almost believe he IS a shape-shifting lizard.

[blogslut]

5. Gin blossoms

Rosacea

He must get it for trying to think so hard.

[npincus]

6. angry drunk.

[acmavm]

8. This is a reflection of his soul (or what passes for one).

[CrazyOrangeCat]

9. horrors!!!

nightmares!!!

[Turbineguy]

11. Looks like he's thinking:

"Cancer, hey, that's something that could affect ME! They better find a cure before I get it!"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. Waiting for his forked tongue to dart out......eom

[krispos42]

13. Caption thought bubble:

"Okay, okay, cancer bad. Cancer bad. Surge good, cancer bad. Surge good, cancer bad. Cancer bad, surge good. Surge and cancer good, pretzel bad. No, that's not right. Surge and prezel good, cancer bad. No, thats' not right either. Surge and Barney good, prezel and cancer bad. Yeah, that's it."

[Supersedeas]

47. Eat more pretzels

[rhiannon55]

14. He LOOKS like the most hated man in the world.

I wonder how his 'bots would interpret this photo...I'm sure they wouldn't see the homicidal maniac that WE see. They'd probably say that he looks tired, or determined, or blah blah blah...

[Arugula Latte]

15. Lipless Sociopath

Look at the Evil pouring from those beady shark eyes ... :scared:

[Botany]

16. That is a drunk's face.

edema and "gin blossoms"

When the hell is this story going to come out?

[magellan]

17. Nice pointy ears there, Beelzebub

[TZ]

19. War on cancer...

What do you think he contributed? Something like this: Cancer's real bad. We gotta declare war on that cancer thing you know....maybe if we send in 20,000 more troops. Oh wait. I'm gettin my wars mixed up...:rofl:

[malaise]

43. He's a malignant pox

on the world

[montanacowboy]

20. COLD BLACK SHARK EYES

REFLECTING NO SOUL = ANTI CHRIST

[TZ]

24. don't insult the sharks that way!!

:)

[Catherine Vincent]

21. Why does he always have that red splotch on his nose?

Does he wear reading glasses often? I doubt it.

[Kerrytravelers]

22. He's beginning to evolve into Gollum!

[paparush]

23. Ohh...I found another one sorta like it....

[Xenotime]

25. The face of evil

[racaulk]

28. You beat me to it!

If that's not the face of evil, I don't know what is!

[Amy6627]

26. He is one evil bastard!

[maxrandb]

27. My God! It's Private Pyle.

I was wondering where I had seen that look before, and it's from the scene in Full Metal Jacket when Private Pyle has a melt-down in the head and shoots Gunny Hartman before turning the gun on himself. Don't beleive me? Put the movie in and freeze frame it on Private Pyle's face. The eyes are identical to these.

"If Hartman comes in here and catches us, we'll both be in a world of shit"

- "I AM in a world of shit"

"Are those live rounds"?

- "762 millimeter...Full...Metal...Jacket!" "Lock and Load!" Right Shoulder Hrrr, Left Shoulder Hrrr" "This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.....

[Rosemary2205]

36. Haha - private Pyle and my brain said "Gomer??"

Never saw Full metal jacket....... :)

[baldguy]

29. "I need to rip the hearts out of 100,000 more people."

"And YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!"

(cue maniacal laughter)

[SoCalDem]

30. He's practicing his Pootie Poot impression

[deepthought42]

31. Oh hell no...get him the fuck outta my state!

It's bad enough the office down the hall has a portrait of * facing the hallway...but this? Ew. Does he realize MD's a blue state?

[TZ]

32. yuck- friends there

Until last month I worked at NIH (not on main campus though). I have at least one friend who works on the main campus part time and another friend who today of all days has to go down there for a one day training session (she is also a fellow DU contributor). Feel bad for them.....

[deepthought42]

34. Yuck, they have my symphathies...

He should come to Annapolis...we're inducting Gov. O'Malley (D) today! :woohoo: :toast: :bounce:

On second thought....no. He needs to get the hell out of Maryland...

[lizerdbits]

45. I didn't know he was there until you emailed me.

Everything seemed pretty normal but I was inside from 9-2:30. Was I supposed to return the plastic visitor badge? I forgot about it until I got to Shady Grove metro and someone asked me if I worked there. Oops.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. All I can think of is "Robble Robble Robble"

[Error]

35. He's turning into a Romuan

the more primitive and warlike version of a Vulcan

[Solly Mack]

37. best Terrence and Phillip voice: "I'm wishing cancer on you"

[otohara]

39. His Ugliness

oozes out his pours and eyes.
He terrifies me.

[July]

40. Okay, I'm seeing a gin-blossomed, decrepit, evil Maxwell Smart.

And I hate to compare Some Jerk to the late, great Don Adams, but Bush does look like a creepy version of Agent 86.

Or maybe it's just me.

[malaise]

42. Damn that is a picture of

a cornered rat.

[DoYouEverWonder]

46. The last time I saw that look

was on a bobcat that got cornered in my backyard.

It's one of the few times I felt threatened by a wild animal.
