Jeb Bush, to the tsunami-affected region on Sunday to assess the need for assistance, the White House said. Bush is seen speaking with the President of Sri Lanka on Wednesday from the Bush ranch near Crawford, Texas. (Eric Draper, The White House/Reuters)

1. The classic empty suit

and WTF is Jeb Bush doing on that trip? Shouldn't he be home in Florida making sure nobody finds out the true vote count down there?

[calimary]

4. What is jeb doing on that trip? I suspect it's because he's PNAC.

He's a PNAC signatory. Probably prospecting. They've sent him out to do some advance work on the next Muslim-dominated turf that's now seriously weakened and ripe for invasion and takeover. Just another domino. I have no proof of this. It just struck me in the gut.

2. Note that he is making this call on WEDNESDAY.

Could not even be bothered to make a phone call until then?

In the earlier release of the pix, on Wednesday, the caption said he is calling the Sri Lankan president, and that it was taken on Wednesday. Despicable!

*edit* - here is the earlier caption:

U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) speaks on the phone with Sri Lankan President Chandrika Kumaratunga in Crawford, Texas, December 29, 2004. In his first public statement since the tsunami struck on Sunday, Bush did not announce an immediate boost in aid but said the United States was forming a new coalition with India, Japan and Australia to coordinate relief efforts.

5. It took him that long to find the banana hidden next to the phone

Still in phase 2 of Pavlov's training ;)

[ElsewheresDaughter]

15. yup it took the chimp 4 days to detox before they would allow him

to speak publicly

[underpants]

16. I swear that was the second thing I thought

the first was probably the truth-they were polling and focus grouping to figure out what to do and how to spin it.

[gnofg]

3. People

who have pictures of themselves like that are narcissists. One of the original CNN anchors (Bonnie ?) had her pictures plastered all over her house. I knew all the CNN people then and they all made fun of her.

8. A picture of himself in the secure meeting room

It looks to be a shot of him in front of military personnel who were ordered to be there.

Good grief-I'll bet that when he zones out during meetings he looks at the pictures of himself. :eyes:

[catgirl]

10. Is that the altered photoshop pic?

The one with B$sh at a podium and soldiers added later? It was published in MSM papers before it was found out to be a fraud!!

[underpants]

13. Speaking of photoshopping

the black thing (TV scrren?) in the back of the room looks a bit like the Abu Gahrib photo.

[henslee]

6. my favorite picture.....

oops. one sec.

[stevedeshazer]

17. Looks like he just swallowed a turd

:shrug:

Ms. Eddy has a vivid imagination, at least.

[Vanje]

27. Thomas Kinkade , famous "Painter of Light", paints portrait ....

....of petty dictator with sphincter in place of mouth.

[peekaloo]

7. a lil game of Presidential Pocket Pool to help him

better assess the sit-ee-ay-shun.

The man, the pic, the Presidency.....all one big jerk off.

[patdem]

9. Yeah, looks like he's been realy busy - an empty office with one piece

of paper, his hand in his pocket and a phone stuck to his ear...real industrious this one!!! :puke:

[Mika]

11. Like a scene from the comedy movie spoof of Airport

Where Loyd Bridges had a picture of himself at the desk w/a picture of him at the desk.

[leftchick]

12. He has replaced MANY photos in the WH and Congress with Himself!

How very Hitler like.

[underpants]

14. And Fox News on all the TVs

So I hear.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

18. who is that the darkman standing at the other end of the table?...cheney?

Satan?

[underpants]

19. Continuation of post #13---This?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

20. there really is someone there...they don't want us to see so they

tried to hide in shadow...shadow gov't?

[catgirl]

21. Is it Condi?

Blackened out? Aren't they tricky.

[underpants]

22. W:"Dick says Halliburton is going to need cost PLUS 10% ...

or they won't even think about doing any tsunami clean up"

I am joking but don't be surprised if that is how this is "handled"

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. I won't be.

surprised that is. Jebbie is there to oversee the profits for the BFEE.

[Miami Liberal]

24. How much you wanna bet

there was no one on the phone with him.

[underpants]

25. I wouldn't bet against it

That is what I was thinking too.

[Art_from_Ark]

26. Maybe it's "God" on the other end of the line

[apple_ridge]

28. Hmmm......the photo is no longer up there.
