Anyone else notice *'s limited contact with the citizenry yesterday?

[liberalitch]

I was obviously only "speaking" to supporters.

Even in a disaster area the crowd was handpicked

[Dem Agog]

1. oh absolutely...

if he got within 20 feet of 90% of the people trapped there now, victims of his own attempts at a new american holocaust, he'd have been in mortal danger.

i wonder if hitler ever posed with the jews in concentration camps for photo ops?

[madrchsod]

2. just think if was jimmy carter or clinton

i know i`m dreaming of a far better time

[babylonsister]

3. I kept praying for someone to get close enough

to smack him upside the head, but was disappointed...

[liberalitch]

LOL!!!

Strangle him with a food lion bag... something like that

[XanaDUer]

4. Was there an interracial couple he was hugging?

I can just see his lackeys handpicking certain "types" to make him look all warm, carin', and fuzzy.

:puke:

I guess they also had to clear out any "troublemakers" who might have yelled something to him.

[Vinca]

5. At the end, when he was standing with other officials

giving the "feel-good-pep talk," there was a man standing behind him on the left who looked like he wanted to throw a punch at Shrub. Get in line, buddy.

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. His fake accent, stiff affect, odd face gesticulations - he is

becoming unglued before our eyes.

[chelsea0011]

7. I'm not surprised his ground stop in NO was with the engineers at

the leeve. He would not stop at the dome or ctr. if his life depended on it. He is and has always been a coward.

[BiggJawn]

8. I was surprised they had time to vet the victims

"Um, so tell me, why do you think there's no help here yet?"

"Because that Klintoon guy raped that little girl on top his desk!"

"Yeah, you can meet the Blessed One...Here's your coffee cup, and what size Tee-Shirt do you wear?"

[YDogg]

9. Of course! What did you expect? n/t

[Ezlivin]

10. Doesn't want to spoil that "beautiful mind"

You know--the one he inherited from his compassionate mother.

[madrchsod]

11. you know as soon as he got on the plane he showered

touching those people must have made his skin crawl..."where`s my little condi? i can`t wait to see the new boots and whip she bought"

[EnfantTerrible]

12. Check out this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4597216&mesg_id=4597216

I saw it last night.

[liberalitch]

13. I don't even look as good as those girls right now and I'm in my...

ACed Apt in Va. with a big glass of chocolate milk

[MsConduct]

14. Yep, and I didn't miss the "how much longer do I have to be here?"

look on his dumb ass face either.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. Find me a picture of Chimp with the PEOPLE.

:grr:

[Aunt Anti-bush]

16. I was just going to ask...

If maybe I missed something. I came home from work yesterday, anxious to see where he'd been and who he'd been meeting. I see the same film OVER & OVER & OVER again with him and about 5 people around him and then he hugs that lady and the girl. Was that IT???

[Spazito]

17. It wasn't limited, it was non-existent, imo

He had no contact with the 'unwashed'whatsoever. It was a appalling photo-op of 'compassion' while people continue to die.

[aquart]

18. Laura got tagged for it, too.

This is an unattributed, unlinked quote from a gay gossip site, Data Lounge:

"This makes my blood boil. Laura Bush came to the shelter here in Lafayette at the Dome today, (Friday) where my partner was volunteering. The Red Cross lined up and a "cast" was picked out of the people there seeking shelter; I won't use the term refugees. Twin girls with pigtails and pink ribbons, elderly people, just the right mix for the camera and she pretended to serve food. Once the photos were taken, she met with members of the school board who were coordinating the acceptance of displaced children from New Orleans into our school system and then she was whisked away. My partner said that she never even paid attention to the people who were there. She barely even surveyed the crowd or showed any interest whatsoever except in staging the camera shots! It was all about the appearances and spin control!"

19. we need 1,000s more like your partner and 1 less like her.

[tblue37]

20. And did you notice that

the two Black women he put his arms around and walked with were extremely clean and fresh, with their hair done up so, so neatly? Obviously they were props, not real victims. He woulddln't want to actually touch real victims. They would be dirty and smelly. A couple of real victims did manage to get to him, but they were white and even then he looked like what he really wanted to do was recoil, especially when the older woman kissed his face.

Also, did you notice how pointedly he turned them around to face the cameras for the photo op?

[DrZeeLit]

21. Duh.... And they call him a "people person"... he can't deal with

anyone in a real situation.

Not in a town meeting, not in a speaking engagement, not with Cindy... not with anyone.

How the heck did they pacify the Mayor of NO? He seemed to come out of his "meeting" with * like a lamb? I'm wondering.

Meanwhile, several feet away from the * press conf on the tarmac, were REAL PEOPLE in the terminal. But...

Time's a wastin'... gotta go... c ya!

Back to golf and dinner and goin' to bed early and sleepin' in a nice clean bed.

Yep... the "people person" --- as long as they are his people --- who are:

"THE HAVES AND THE HAVE MORES"
