1. GUUUUUUUUUUUUUURL, don't TEASE me like that!

This would have been FAR more interesting if Boy George O Dowd would have been in Kabul rather than Lancelot Link and The Joker.

:silly:

[Stephanie]

12. Really? I find George O'Dowd almost as boring and pretentious as Jr.

[HughBeaumont]

14. Yet George O Dowd only destroys himself, not the rest of humanity . . .

[Stephanie]

15. not exactly true

an old friend of mine OD'd at O'Dowd's house. but that was ages ago.

[mdmc]

2. thanks for the pic

that last one has a big gun in it!:kick:

[flobee1]

3. second to last pic

Why is it that the 2 americans need help cutting the ribbon, and are clearly struggling, while Karzai is almost finished
Cant these people even handle scissors!?

do they have the plastic ones with the rounded ends so they dont hurt themselves?
:rofl:

[warrior1]

4. The most

hated man in the world and he doesn't even know it.

[AndyA]

5. Not a good look, Laura...

The outfit OR the man you're standing next to!

[July]

21. You know, I think if I were First Lady, I'd dress up a little more for a

state visit.

Though I rarely wear a dress, I do come up with one for events like weddings and funerals (I've never done a state visit). An elegant pantsuit would work, too. Isn't Laura a little casual for hanging out with two heads of state, even if one is an abject national embarrassment?

[madokie]

6. Thanks as always it good to get the first hurl out early

:puke:

[Ouabache]

7. I think Boy* should wear one of those hats like Karzai does

He would sure look good in one. When in Kabul do as the Kabullys do? Maybe a photoshopper can help out.

[shain from kane]

10. Only the Mayor of Kabul gets to wear a hat like that.

Just like the Pope in the Vatican.
Gorky Park.

[Ilsa]

8. I still prefer the new reference to Pickles as The Sacred Cow.

W is leaning into that fourth picture as if he's about to place finger-horns behind The Sacred Cow's head, as if the whole thing is a big frat party. Meanwhile, Karzai looks as if he knows this is a pic for posterity and is endeavoring to make it dignified.

[Stephanie]

11. well once she gets to India that title should make her feel right at home

[Double T]

9. Small nations or states could fund their entire operations.........

for a year on this guys travel budget.

[dogday]

13. Look at the bottom picture-Security is tight

using machine gun.....

[Stephanie]

16. here's another machine gun photo >

creepy

[shain from kane]

17. These guys don't get paid enough. Imagine having to

guard the hated Boy Emperor, who has maid so many enemies throughout the world.

[shain from kane]

18. Made, instead of maid. What the hell is wrong with me? n/t

[Stephanie]

20. you can just click the edit button if you want to fix something

:hi:

[grasswire]

23. I count six agents surrounding him...

...in that bottom photo. He's certainly not Bill Clinton, who moved in crowds of Indians freely on his state visit.

[npincus]

19. She forgot to wear her "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt

[BiggJawn]

22. Where'd Mayor Karzai get those uniforms on his guards?

The STASI yard sale, or were they a gift of old Frontier Guards duds from Pootie-Poot
