Awwww. Poor Widdle Chimpy!!!! Waken from his nap for a photo op!!!!

[CatWoman]

Or so says Newsweek:

The president didn't look all that relieved or happy, however. His eyes were puffy from lack of sleep (he had been awakened all through the night with bulletins), and he seemed cranky and fidgety. A group of reporters and photographers had been summoned by White House handlers to capture a photo op of the commander in chief at his post. Bush stared at them balefully. He rocked back and forth in his chair, furiously at times, asked no questions and took no notes. It almost seemed as though he resented having to strike a pose for the press.

Now, what would make a man puffy-eyed, cranky and fidgety?

1. F--- him! Let him sleep in the NO convention center for a few nights

and then see how puffy his widdle eyes are! I have no compassion for him--it's being used now in thinking about the people of the gulf coast and Iraq!

[mcg]

8. or a few nights on patrol in Iraq

[mcctatas]

2. Cranky, fidgety, puffy eyes???

sounds like me Sat. morning after going a few too many rounds with my buddies Guinness and Jamesons. Of course shrub strikes me as more of a ZIMA kind of guy:beer:

[Art_from_Ark]

6. He strikes me more as a

"Gallo Muscatel" kind of guy

[chieftain]

15. Slainte to you with your Guinness and Jamesons .And to the

Zima guy, do us all a favor and resign now, go back to Crawford and drink to your shriveled heart's content because at this point the loss of a few more brain cells will hardly matter.

[rfranklin]

21. Rocking like a mental patient...

It's one of the behaviors exhibited by deeply disturbed patients.

[txindy]

36. Certainly doesn't sound like someone who has received bulletins all night

Someone who gave instructions to be updated throughout the night, even when he was sleeping, is not someone who would be cranky that those orders were followed. It does also not describe someone who appears resentful that the storm was downgraded to a Category 3, as if an even more deadly storm is the only one worthy of interrupting his night's sleep.

Junior had a hangover. Either that or he's in withdrawal.

[Wickerman]

3. What does it say when the character of a grown adult is often referred to

as Cranky?

And what does it mean when he is our own pResident? :eyes:

[Fenris]

4. Perhaps he needed his diaper changed.

[jody]

5. "Cranky" probably means "hangover".

:hi:

[Wickerman]

7. and the co-dependent press just loves him up

cranky hangovers is jes so cute in grown pwesident.

[CatWoman]

17. Hi, Jody!!!!

:hi:

[jody]

26. Hi, CatWoman.

:pals:

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. What does it say when he resents being disturbed from his

usual routine, and is forced to pay attention to the suffering of Americans? You just know he is pissed that he actually has to appear to be involved. I'll bet he is treating his staff like crap over this.

[spacelady]

30. Immature, petulant, incorrigible, ill-mannered, thuggish, etc. ad nauseum.

[Rex]

9. Cranky and fidgety.

"Waaaaaa! I gotta go potty Condie! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

[ima_sinnic]

11. where in #(*%& is that picture from? :D

:rofl:

[Rex]

19. I dunno

I have so many pics of Boosh, probably found it here on DU.

[Journeyman]

28. I think that photo was from his last visit to Europe. . .

no link, no evidence to back my belief, but that's the memory I have for the picture.

[tanyev]

10. Careful, he's about to blow!

I just hope there's a video camera running when it happens.

[CatWoman]

16. Agreed!!!

any day now.................

[buzzard]

40. I can hardly wait to see it. One can only hope. n/t

[Straight Shooter]

12. Crank-y.

Crank-ee. Crank. Crankity-crank-crank.

I tell you what, if I were the so-called leader of the free world, being awakened all night with bulletins wouldn't bother me in the least. Much better than being kept awake with howling winds, driving rains, and fears for your loved ones.

What a big f*ckin' whiney-ass spoiled brat he is.

[seemslikeadream]

13. Has the smirk lost his smirk?

Will it return?

[Supersedeas]

43. Oh no, the smirk is still the smirk

[Rose Siding]

18. He's still pissed over David Gregory's question yesterday!

I'll be that's what it is- we know he's petty and carries a grudge.

The last president walked the halls at night, looking for someone's brain to pick over policy issues. *sigh*

[madame defarge]

20. Oh..Poor Boy Georgie...

He looks like he needs a vacation...a 52 week vacation...for the rest of his life...

[Aviation Pro]

23. At the local crowbar motel....

n/t

[valerief]

22. Spoiled brat needs to go to Brat Camp to straighten himself out

[Garbo 2004]

24. Does anyone really believe staff were waking him up through the night

to give him updates? Please. When DC had a scare due to a plane crossing in the no fly zone and gov't offices were being evacuated (I think Laura also) NO ONE TOLD HIM ABOUT IT while he was riding his bike in Maryland. They didn't interrupt a bleeping bike ride to tell him there was fear of a potential plane attack on D.C.

They expect us to believe they kept waking him up all night long with bulletins about Rita? "Sir, it's still windy and raining." Riiight. Administration propagandists tell this to Newsweek and Newsweek reports it as if it were remotely believable that he'd have them do that, ever.

[CatWoman]

27. actually, they are trying to explain away those "puffy eyes"

[txindy]

37. Not at all believable, is it? That was my first thought, as well.

Yeah, sure, the people who were afraid to tell him about Katrina are now willing to repeatedly disturb his sleep?! Suuuuuuuuuure. :eyes:

[yellowcanine]

25. Mean drunk? Remember in 2000 when people talked about how they would

rather have a beer with Bush than with Gore? I guess they would change their tune if they knew Bush is a mean drunk.

[charlie]

29. It's been beyond surreal

watching an entire nation babysit its Commander and Chief these past 5 years. I've never seen or heard of an American president get such solicitous treatment. And it's causing him to regress -- into a sullen 2 year old! If one day Condi isn't around to clean up when he goes boom-boom in his diapie, we're gonna wake up to Rumsfeld apologizing for the "unfortunate error" of nuking France off the map.

[spacelady]

32. Now that's a scary (but not shocking) thought! n/t

[Field Of Dreams]

31. LOL ... Presidentin' is hard work.

All this work is driving him to drink! Finally being forced out of being a slacker. If you didn't appoint so many slackers and idiots like yourself to key positions you might be able to get some sleep -- Chimpy!

[soleft]

33. that's a man on some kind of substance

[bklyncowgirl]

34. Good article worth reading all the way through.

Points out how desperate Bush's handlers were to erase the image of Bush fiddling while New Orleans drowned--mentioning guitar picture, rather funny.

[Digit]

35. Leader, my ass sums it up for me (eom)

[wovenpaint]

38. I believe the term for the actions of the MSM/press

is ENABLING! They've been covering his butt for a long while now.....IMHO...

[Octafish]

39. No good drunken lazy-ass coke-whore!

Which is about the best that can be said for the little turd from Crawford.

[Rex]

41. I'm AMAZED that we've made it 5 years.
