Bush uses David Letterman's producer's shirt
to clean his glasses!!!

http://www.bushflash.com/unb.html

Here is the blurb from the site:

How would you feel about a person who thinks it is okay to grab your shirt and use it clean their eyeglasses?

That's how arrogant our President is. During a commercial break on the David Letterman show, producer Maria Pope was on stage and discussing something with Letterman, and while she was standing there in front of Bush, George leaned forward, grabbed the back of her sweater and used it to clean his glasses. Check out the Quicktime video.

Regardless of your political party and beliefs, we all know that this administration has raised some serious questions, and has often asked for us to blindly believe in the their drastic actions, all of which are clearly far more serious than this boner on the Letterman show. However, there is not a spin, explanation, or flat out lie that can defend Bush's character in this revealing moment, when he was dumb enough to think that people or cameras were not looking. Even worse scenario is he did know, but just didn't care.

We deserve better leadership and representation. If you have any doubts, please vote him out.

1. Just for facts sake
This happened prior to the 2000 election.

2. It doesn't matter when it happened...
He has freaking entitlement issues, and I hate that about people. It's like, you're lower than me, so I have a right to use you and anything of yours however I wish. Bush, you freaking loser, use your fucking tie if you need to clean your glasses, you smug bastard.

3. I've heard about this before - but never seen it.
This is really astounding. I mean it is so absolutely arrogant, that it is almost funny...

Until you remember that this guy is followed around by a serviceman carrying the "football".

4. The fact that Bush, as President, is followed by the warrant officer...
carrying the "football" fills me with dread. Because I think Bush is very comfortable with the idea of using the nuclear authentication codes inside the "football".

6. I think he goes beyond comfortable
I think he's itching to drop a nuke somewhere. This is the administration that has on more than one occassion floated the idea of using nukes in a 'tactical' sense. The most recent being the idea of using them as bunker busters.

10. The frightening thing is
that this "football" is no more than just a few steps away at all times and that the shit-for-brains that it is intended for can't even pronounce the word "nuclear".

5. Send this to Howard Stern. He was looking for a clip of this
He mentioned it like a month ago and said he seems to remember it but wanted a clip.

8. I sent Howard an e mail....
Hopefully it'll get a lot of play.

I don't care WHEN Bush did it, the fact that he saw someone as his servent should have spoken volumes about how he viewed average Americans.

7. Yikes! I hope Maria Pope burned that sweater
I'd bet dollars to donuts that * thought she'd be real honored to have a sweater infused with his lens smudge and that she would never have it cleaned again.

11. I remember when Letterman played this
Paul said he thought it was a good thing, because it "shows that Bush* is comfortable with people". :eyes:
