Oh, and lest we forget....but why waste our beautiful minds on this?


Friends of Marine Lance Corporal Jeffery Holmes react at the graveside ceremony in Randolph , Vt., Friday, Dec. 3, 2004. The 20-year-old U.S. Marine from Hartford, Vt. is being remembered for his honor, commitment and courage.

1. Shocking Contrast

The Bushes celebrate while Americans perish. What's next?

We need to spread this around.

[Journeyman]

10. I can't think of any President who didn't celebrate in some fashion. . .

while the nation was at war. We can argue that the others had the grace to honor the dead in their turn (something Smirkboy can't bring himself to do), but the contrast of celebration and ceremony is nothing new. Even Mr Lincoln attended the theater while the war raged.

18. meanwhile...

2. Dulce et Decorum est...

Pro patria mori.

3. drapery alert !!!!!!

condi found some purple drapery material! lauria found some vintage 50`s upholstery material on ebay. hey- that light blue sash really makes a fashion statement!

4. you really do like making fun of her clothes, don't you?

Can't blame you. It's pretty easy to do.

[madrchsod]

9. yup

i reupholstered furniture for years and owned a small design workshop. plus my 19 year old daughter always asks my advice on what she should wear and how it looks...

22. She Borrowed The Rags From Lady Liberty Since Ashcroft Has Left

Lady Liberty was glad to doff those threads and could think of no greater person to pass them down to.

25. Somebody should alert Andrew Card to any missing purple draperies

I have to concur -- it looks like Condi-lies-to-ya Rice pulled a Scarlet O'Herr-Uhhh...

[Terran]

28. It' the same ugly frock she wore in France

two or three years ago. I recall the pictures of her and Georgie looking dowdy and dull next Chirac and his wife. A potato sack with sewn-on lace, and a scrap of something for a belt she could have found at Wal Mart for ten cents.

[JohnnyCougar]

5. OMG, is Laura giving that guy a handjob?

Maybe it's payback for Bush and Condi!

[Bluebear]

7. LOL well everyone IS applauding except DimSon.

[HEAVYHEART]

8. what a sad contrast of pictures :( heartbreaking n/t

[OneBlueSky]

11. wow . . . Morticia Addams was there! . . . n/t

.

[Nordic]

12. makes me want to puke.

Those people belong in jail.

[donheld]

13. Did you really have to post the pictures of Rice and the Bushies?

:spank:

[tsuki]

20. Yes, I wanted to see the beige dress with the aqua bow. I have

a trivial mind.

[donheld]

23. Well now you can see this

:puke:

[tsuki]

24. Thank you. I had the same reaction.

[auntAgonist]

14. I didn't know what I'd see when I looke at this thread ...

my heart dropped when I got to the last picture...the look on the face of the young gal in the white sleeved outfit broke my heart ...

such horror .. ..

[grasswire]

15. agh! it's the dress from the Polish State Dinner!!

The most horrible dress Laura owns!

I guess she didn't see the snickering about it when she had it made for the Polish State Dinner a couple of years ago. The bow on the belly became her trademark.

[flygal]

16. Oh man - that is powerful!!

[Dangerman]

17. Kick-O-Rama!

[blueblitzkrieg]

19. Condi has committed yet another crime...

crime against fashion! YEEEEECHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! :puke:

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

26. Yes, and eggplant is the perfect color

for someone who sits around like a vegetable instead of doing her job.

[MsConduct]

21. "the rich man does the dancing, while the poor man pays the band" n/t

[Bluebear]

27. Ain't that the truth.

And thus it always seems to be.

[MsConduct]

31. I know, huh? What's wrong with that picture? n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

29. Glad to see Condi has finally seen the light and returned

her hair style to its rightful owner, Olive Oyl.

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. It's good to be rich and powerful

Looks like the chimp's second wife dresses better then his stepford wife does. I do believe that is the first pic of Kindasleeza where she isn't sporting an evil look on her face.

[Bluebear]

33. That's until she found out she wasn't sitting next to "hubby" n/t
