When they show Bush on TV at his desk, wearing glasses

[Skittles]

"reading" or "writing", who do they think they are kidding? :puke:

[eyesroll]

1. It's kind of like Homer Simpson

When they draw the glasses on him, it usually makes him look dumber.

[dogtag]

2. Bush and glasses

They want us to think he's Clark Kent.

6. Hi dogtag!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Sophree]

8. So it's not just me!

I've always thought the same thing! :D

Was about to post it. lol

[Jacobin]

13. That's pretty good. Made me grin

It's true. When I've seen those pictures I think "huh? he looks even dumber"

[mitchum]

19. That was also my first thought!

[walldude]

21. Reminds me of the Homer works at home episode,

"Initalize power" "Y.. E.. S.." "Turn on Reactor" "Y.. E.. S.." "Drain toxic waste" "Y..." "Hey I just tripled my productivity!!"

[u2spirit]

3. It just makes him look

blind and stupid.

[Mandate My Ass]

4. HAHAHAHA

Good one. Welcome. :D

[Fenris]

5. Reminds me of the simpsons where Homer wore the eyeball glasses

Y'know, the ones that had eyes painted on so it would look like he was awake even though he was sleeping. Older folk will remember an old 3 Stooges short where Curly is in court and paints eyes on his eyelids to achieve the same effect.

[Kool Kitty]

10. Bless you for the Stooges reference.

(My personal faves.) I even remember the short it was from. They are trying to get us to believe that W can ACTUALLY read, and we all know that's not true.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. or the one where he found a pair in the street

and insisted on wearing them because he thought they made him look smart, while ignoring that they were prescription glasses and were fucking him up

[heidiho]

7. Same footage over and over since 2001

probably the only time he ever sat at the desk and pretended to "work" - but we all know better.

[Skittles]

25. hey - I think you may be right

it DOES look familiar - like that same poor Brit mad cow they always show.

[Vickers]

9. He only wears them when Condi is in the room....they're X-Ray glasses

No shit, he ordered them out of the back of Boy's Life, or maybe he got them for selling 150 subscriptions of Grit, I forget which one.

Well, that's what I heard anyway. Probably no truth to it.

12. Those glasses do not work.

180

[Vickers]

14. Aw man, don't tell me that...I just sold my 138th Grit subscription

:(

And I was so close.

[BrotherBuzz]

17. Go for the Sea Monkeys, instead!

;)

[Skittles]

26. lol.......................180

you know it!

[Bluebear]

18. Boy's Life and Grit! LMAO!

Boy did you take me back!

[Kinkistyle]

24. Boy's Life was a great mag!

I remember I used to cut out send out mail with coins in them in order to get the Charles Atlas workout program (I was tired of being a fat 120lb. weakling 5th grader.) I never got my order... I wonder why :D

[QC]

11. He always reminds me of J. Fred Muggs when they do that.

Remember him?

[Cat Atomic]

15. Oh, I know. It's so contrived it makes me laugh.

Why not just put a graduation cap on him and make him carry a copy of War and Peace? And he can hold a coffee in the other hand... and maybe put some calculus notes hanging out of his back pocket.

That'd convince everybody!

[peekaloo]

20. It is funny! I also love how he writes all along the margins

and around the bottom of page (close up of his "written thoughts" on CBS News tonight)......I used to do that in high school when I was bored, random thoughts scribbled down to make it seem I was interested in the text.

All work and no play make George a dull boy.

[Skittles]

27. can you imagine that moron EDITING your stuff???

I bet they just laugh at him.

[Zomby Woof]

22. LAURA BUSH NEVER BLINKS

Spread the word.

[peekaloo]

23. she hypnotized John Roberts during his interview tonight.

but not before a "Stepford First Wife" cartoon was inserted in the broadcast.

[Fleshdancer]

29. I wouldn't blink either if HE slept next to me every damn night!

:scared:

Can we really fault the Bush women for being drunk and drugged so much??? I would be too if THAT was my reality.

[SoCalDem]

28. Here's what he does at his desk
