Salon reveals Bush was giving "1 Finger Salute" to KAREN HUGHES in video

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

This sucker's spreading like a Texas brush fire.

I have no fucking idea what that means. Let's just say it's spreading and leave it at that.

I wonder how this will affect the way women feel about Bush. I've read hundreds of "fed up with his macho bullshit" posts here, but now that he's a CONVICTED WOMAN FLIPPER-OFFER....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

:evilgrin:

Watch Bush's "one-fingered victory salute"
Back when he was Texas governor, the president sassed Karen Hughes big time, and the cameras caught him.

Oct. 27, 2004 | You heard him call New York Times reporter Adam Clymer a "major league asshole" back during the 2000 campaign. Now watch President Bush -- back when he was Texas governor -- salute loyal advisor Karen Hughes on video, with his middle finger.

You can watch the video here. Salon obtained the video from Texans for Truth, an Austin-based advocacy group that's kept the heat on Bush about his missing time in the Texas Air National Guard. Texans for Truth is also hosting the video on its site.

According to the group's sources, the segment was part of a video session shot while Bush was governor. The clip shows him smoothing his hair for the camera, complaining about an off-camera aide believed to be Hughes. "She's still tellin' me what to do," he says, before he flashes his middle finger. As worried aides murmur about whether the camera's running, Bush dismisses his gesture as a "one-fingered victory salute."

There's nothing wrong with a little playful obscenity among friends, but our preacher in chief has worked hard to hide the smirking frat boy within. The video isn't likely to energize the evangelical base the White House cares about most.

NOTE: Salon provides their own link to the video:

[WindRavenX]

10. oooooo I wonder how Karen feels

Hillarious.
I hope this isn't the "October Surprise" they spoke of, though, 'coz it's kinda...um, insignificant. We know he's a douche, but this isn't going to inspire people to vote for Kerry IMO.

[MIMIC]

14. Time to spread the word

"October Surprise" or not, we need to spread this. :) Even though this is trivial, this'll just fuel the "Bush is fucking incompetent" fire.

Just think: now he can join Cheney in the "Explative Hall Of Fame."

[CityHall]

16. Someone posted that her son needed a pic of him for school

We posted all the old ones like the goofy one with Kofi Anan, but this would have been great.

18. i am telling you what will turn off women more than anything

adn no one believes me. but women over 30, married, with kids and husband............

1988 at republican convention bush was asked by a reporter, what do you and your father talk about when you dont talk politics.,

pussy

was his reply.

i told a conservative texas catholic friend this and she was so pissed. she says, why should i believe that. you know how that would offend me. do you believe everything you read on the net.

telling ya, any woman with children will visualize this man at the dinner table with his wife and two young daughters looking into their eyes after making that comment,.

why this one hasnt gotten out, because so offensive maybe, is all indictive to a female the kind of man he is

19. The genius, the "punch line" of the Salon article is:

"There's nothing wrong with a little playful obscenity among friends, but our preacher in chief has worked hard to hide the smirking frat boy within. The video isn't likely to energize the evangelical base the White House cares about most."

Because THAT is the REAL issue here. The "smirking frat boy" clip now joins the "drunk" clip on The Smoking Gun and paints a true, accurate portrait of the man who's "led" this country for the last four years.
