Ridiculous Picture

I am a Liberal Democrat as well as a member of the armed services and I believe Salon diminishes itself by using a picture of President Bush looking foolish. I expect the Boston Herald or the NY Post to have a collection of stock photos of politicians looking ridiculous. Salon should not attempt to stoop to that level. It is isn't a huge deal but it is something I have grown tired of from both sides.

You're assuming that there's a picture of Bush not looking foolish.

1. Not foolish. I think he's drunk. n/t

[pacalo]

2. Yes, they should stop photographing him altogether...

[baldguy]

3. *EVERY* picture of Bush is offensive.

[Blasphemer]

10. Exactly. It's impossible to find pictures of him looking Presidential.

Unless the only image ever used is his official WH photo, there isn't much to choose from.

4. I actually think that is one of his better photos.

5. Something tells me the first guy is NOT a "liberal Democrat."

When they begin their defense of George W. Bush with "I'm a liberal Democrat," you KNOW they're lying.

[deutsey]

14. Yeah, the BS detector is high on this one. n/t

[WinkyDink]

6. It's quintessential Bush: his flirtatious silly-arse grin at a male reporter.

[pnorman]

7. Oh! I liked the last one!

[subterranean]

12. I always thought he looked evil in that first one.

8. "C'mere honey..give daddy a kissssh"

:rofl:

[TwilightGardener]

9. Oh my God, that photo is just cracking me up...

[Jumping John]

11. Here's one where he looks like serial killer Henry Lee Lucas

~edit~

Oh wait that is Henry Lee Lucas.

Here is GW Bush

15. No; it's TED BUNDY he's a dead ringer for:

[Enthusiast]

13. One problem, he is foolish! nt

[Crankie Avalon]

16. Are they kidding??? That's the photo of him trying to look smart...

"Once again, I have outfooled you, all!"

17. "You're assuming that there's a picture of Bush not looking foolish." Oh SNAP!

Hahahahaha
