NEW DELHI (AP) -- Hindu priests who look after the memorial of Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi conducted a purification ceremony at the shrine after a visit from President Bush. But it wasn't the president who offended them, it was the sniffer-dogs who scoured the area ahead of his visit. snip

The dogs, flown in from the U.S., were part of the intense security surrounding the president, but the Hindu priests believe they tainted the site.

Letting dogs into the memorial also drew sharp protest from Hindu politicians and Gandhi's great grandson, Tushar Gandhi, who called the incident a "national shame," the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

1. The cultural sensitivity & respect for others of this buncha hoodlums

is an amazing thing to watch.

2. I'm curious to know...

did * remove his shoes during his visit?

[Stephanie]

3. The Ugly American

Look at him. He thinks he's at the Trevi fountain

7. Shes like a

Stepford wife... ever watch her coming and going, smiling, waving with a strange, cold, faux look about her.

Ok. Now I have the ebb-gibbies. :puke:

10. They're all smiling because

it's all the poor people who are going to die horrible deaths, not them.

4. It's like when somebody farts and you blame it on the dog

Whatever the excuse, I'm glad they purified the shrine.

5. HA! exactly! good one. nt.

[Pachamama]

11. Exactly my thoughts! Sure, blame it on the "dogs" excuse...

:rofl:

And just like when one "follows behind the dog", one has to pick up the trail of "droppings" Bush leaves behind....

I'm glad they purified the shrine too... :hi:

9. Why doesn't the hated, classless Moran just stay on his pig farm

where he can offend no one? Oh and he is our NATIONAL SHAME

[givemebackmycountry]

12. How the American people can admire that brain dead bitch is beyond me...

The fact that she's married to the Monkey is reason enough to fill your mouth with bile.
But, can anyone supply me with one single reason why she is so admired by the Sheeple?

WHAT HAS SHE DONE?

Nothing.

Name one program, one initiative, one accomplishment, one achievement that she, and she alone, is responsible for?

There is none.

If the American people admire this stupid cow, than we're in worse shape than we can imagine.

I dispise her.

13. Is there anyone left that Bush* hasn't offended?!

I think that this pretty much completes the list, if he's managed to piss off the followers of Gandhi...:eyes:

[Mythsaje]

14. Hey, no fair blaming the dogs!

They're probably more sentient than the POTUS and his pickled wife anyway.

;)

[cassiepriam]

15. Now that was a big operation.

Can they purify us now?

[Hubert Flottz]

16. They worship Cows in India.

They Worship Cowards in the USA!

Bush had better watch out for the shit eating dogs.

17. He's by no means the only war criminal who has been invited

Oh, and on the 2nd of March, Bush will be taken to visit Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat. He's by no means the only war criminal who has been invited by the Indian Government to lay flowers at Rajghat. (Only recently we! had the Burmese dictator General Than Shwe — no shrinking violet himself.) But when George Bush places flowers on that famous slab of highly polished stone, millions of Indians will wince. It will be as though he has poured a pint of blood on the memory of Gandhi.

We really would prefer that he didn't.

It's not in our power to stop Bush's visit.

It is in our power to protest it, and we will. ¨

The Government, the Police and the Corporate Press will do everything they can to minimise the extent of our outrage. Nothing the Happynews Papers say can change the fact that all over India from the biggest cities to the smallest villages, in public places and private homes — Geo! rge W. Bush, incumbent President of the United States of America, world nightmare incarnate, is just not welcome.

18. Hey, can we hire them to come over here in about three years

And purify the White House after Bush boy leaves? You know the place will need purification, badly.

19. Mr. "Bring 'Em On" can't enter a Hindu temple without security?

I'm sorry, but that is the most chickenshit nonsense I've ever heard of.

20. Wonder if it inspired this cartoon...
