Hilarious photo opp of chimp trying to drive a nail........

[Ernesto]

Would you hire this moron?
When I heard he was using "Habitat for Humanity" for PR, I just couldn't imagine chimp pretending to be a working man, but here it is!

1. Jimmy Carter should fire him. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Carter when he was younger COULD pull tthat off

but then again Carter was a working man in many ways.

Don't ask long story

[mzteris]

28. heck - Jimmy could STILL pull that off

better than the chimpster.

[rwork]

3. He tryed this once in 2001

Attempting to drive a nail and hit his hand. Photo-Op gone bad.

[Skidmore]

4. Chris Matthews will be drooling over his

"sublime manliness" tonight. Gag.

[MN ChimpH8R]

5. Chimpy can't even fake doing real work

because he has no idea of what work is.

[Arbiter]

18. I was just going to type something like that.

LOL

[BlueEyedSon]

6. Hard work

[StClone]

7. Don't forget Laura with hammer

In the same sequence of photos Laura can be seen loosely clutching a hammer in her best attire -- who they fooling. W's clean gloves and hat are nice touches -- he gets the job done with no dirt showing...Karl?

[peekaloo]

8. He's the newest member of the Village Idiot People.

9. What an arse

Makes me sick just looking at those photos.........when will this ever end. www.seangettings.com

10. Taken from a different angle

[mshasta]

16. lol!!!!

separated at birth...?

[ET Awful]

11. I love the caption "Wearing a hardhat, President Bush uses a hammer"

LOL . . . I'm sure that his followers need that explained to them in such detail :)

[atommom]

12. In fairness, the caption doesn't say he's "driving a nail," just that

he's "using a hammer." :P

[leftchick]

13. this one is pretty funny too

what an ass...

[hatrack]

14. Sheesh, is he trying to intentionally pound it flat?

Maybe he could leaf through that Time-Life home repair series before putting on the hard hat?

[LiberalEsto]

15. No, George. You don't drive the wood onto the nail ....

you're supposed to drive the nail into the wood.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. Give that man a chain saw. That seems to be the only tool

he's proficient to use. Don't they have some brush for him to clear or something?

[soup]

19. Weird.

The little curved claw hammer with the red handle he's choking up on in the pic you linked is not the same one as the one he's holding here.

"This one's been used. I don't want a used hammer. And it's heavy. I don't want a heavy one. And it's yellow. I don't want a yellow hammer. Yellow isn't patriotic. And it's straight. I don't want a straight one. I want a shiny new one. I want a red one. I want one with a curly end. I want a shiny new little patriotic red curly ended hammer. I want one just like Laura's."



"There. That's better. Now watch this drive."

edit to add: "I want one just like Laura's" after seeing her pic.

27. Interesting, that's a 'California Framing Hammer'

I guess he dropped it when someone put the buzz in his ear and something in his mind screamed the meme 'California - BAD!!!'.

[NV Whino]

20. There's no brush to clear?

He's reduced to faking it with a hammer?

[Kingshakabobo]

21. He swings like a little girl.

(with apologies to little girls)

The guy owns a "ranch" and he can't even hammer a nail.

[dweller]

22. this is more like it ...

23. The photo-op kid.

[pacalo]

24. One day at Habitat for Humanity won't make him as good as Jimmy Carter.

This one-morning-for-the-Today-Show publicity stunt will never transform the cold-blooded creep's image to match Jimmy Carter's good-hearted, humanitarian qualities that are embedded in his soul. *'s soul will take him right back into the back rooms of corruption & deceit to step on the American people who aren't in the top 1%.

This stunt takes misrepresentation to a new level.

We know Jimmy Carter, & he is no Jimmy Carter.

[TahitiNut]

25. Bush handles hammer and house with gloves. (Too hot to handle?)

[mzteris]

30. note how CLEAN those gloves are

SURE - he was working.... working on posing.

('cause he's a poser, you know... :rofl:)

[TahitiNut]

31. Hammer. House.

(cough) :eyes: The gloves may be clean but the hands are FILTHY!

[Sapphire Blue]

34. bush Hammering the House...

SHAME SHAME SHAME

[Oilwellian]

26. In Covington, LA?

Remember when the Veterans for Peace arrived there shortly after Katrina hit and FEMA tried to kick them out? Remember when the Red Cross relied on them for communications and their willingness to reach out to the rural citizens of that area and said if the veterans go, so do they?

Fuck Bush.

[drmom]

29. Why were they building a house at night?

strange time for a photo op...

[BrotherBuzz]

33. It took Georgie hours to find 'good' nails...

He sorted through the entire box of nails throwing out the flawed ones that had the heads on the 'wrong' end. It's hard work.

[Batgirl]

32. No way they'd let him handle real tools.

His whole body would end up as a mass of bloody scabs and the presidential makeup artists would resign en masse.

Here's the actual image before Whitehouse retouching:
