Photos: Bush looking tired and defeated in New Orleans

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Where's the smirk, Mr. President? Where's the "Some say I have a swagger...in Texas, it's called WALKING" bravado?

Where is it?

1. FU Bush! Rot in hell. YOU SHALL NOT PASS! GET THEE

BEHIND ME SATAN!

[Steely_Dan]

7. Get thee...

Is that from Firesign Theatre???

[texpatriot2004]

14. Not that I know of, it's from the Holy Bible as I recall. n/t

[CountAllVotes]

43. my Indian grandmother always said that ...

Satan get behind me!

and my mother said it all the time as well!

SATAN GET BEHIND ME!

and they were from Louisiana/Mississippi/Arkansas ...

:kick:

[faithnotgreed]

58. thats a cool story

[texpatriot2004]

63. Mine were from Oklahoma/Louisiana/Arkansas

I got some Indian blood in me. Cherokee, I think.

PEACE!

[CountAllVotes]

79. how odd

same words ... so many years later eh?

My mother has another saying, it was "Holy smokes!" I never knew where that came from - are you familiar with this one?

:kick:

[faithnotgreed]

57. it is - Jesus stated those words

when Satan was trying to challenge him

[hippywife]

65. Actually, Jesus said those words to Peter

When Jesus told the disciples he would be offered up and killed, Peter began to protest that it would not happen to Jesus. That is when Jesus said "Get the behind me, Satan." to Peter.

Mathhew 16:21ff

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid, Lord! This shall never happen to you." 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me; for you are not on the side of God, but of men." 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?

[Radio_Lady]

77. This isn't religious, but when I hear "Get thee... to a nunnery..."

I recall Shakespeare's "Hamlet."

[faithnotgreed]

78. actually yes Jesus said this to Satan in Matthew 4:10

prior to Peter

but its really unimportant to me
im just glad to talk about this on the board at all (as appropriate of course)

peace hippywife

[Ezlivin]

2. That fucker needs to be cuffed and in an orange jumpsuit

Then he can scowl all he damned well wants.

[glugglug]

37. On my screen it almost looks like he IS

I use powerstrip to make the screen photo-negative (prefer light text on dark background). This makes his shirt bright orange in that photo.

[BrightKnight]

50. negligent homicide, depraved-heart murder, Reckless Murder,

manslaughter...

[Maine-ah]

60. I would at least like to see somebody photo shop him into one.

ya'know, a little "preview" of what's to come.

[Vickers]

3. Aw, look, he has his sleeves rolled up!

How photo-op of him. :eyes:

Seriously, he looks like he is craving a drink in that second picture.

[louis-t]

15. I think he changes his shirt every 15 min.

Probably throws them out. They're always blue, by the way. Blue polls well. Fucker.

[The Sleeper]

4. "It's Hard work...

... and Karl says I might not be able to golf for a week !"



PS:Is this the Vickers that is known far and wide ?

Love, The Sleeper

[MADem]

5. Did he get poopoo on his shirt???

I saw some shots early this morning of him in the blue shirt, and this afternoon in the truck in the lighter colored checked shirt.

Is he mad because Nagin is way taller than he is?

Is he mad because they couldn't find any compliant brown citizens to greet him with joy?

No wonder they wanted to evacuate the whole city...when you need as much protection as we have forces stationed in the Sunni Triangle, something ain't quite right.

[Mikimouse]

18. Nah, only in his drawers...n/t

[Autonomy]

6. Rove coached him how to look serious

and not like a fratboy at a keg party, but you just can't teach how to act naturally. Bush never comes off quite right. Probably because he's always faking.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. this is amazing body language

compare this to the bullhorn moment, which may have been made of full clothe, but had a real thing to it... there he was in charge, here the servants are in charge...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

21. EXCELLENT comparison. Let's take a look, shall we?

[AspenRose]

47. Ha ha ha ha

that is priceless....two pictures that speak volumes

[nadinbrzezinski]

55. thanks this is so telling

I knew my memory was not failing me... and I prefer the latter, it is more real to what bush the Neer-do-Well is

I wonder, if he has gone, MOMMY, POPPY, they are attacking me!

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

59. His legacy...

...whimpering like a hurt child about how some mean people are saying bad things about him while dead bodies are being fished out of toxic flood waters.

CAKE, anyone?

[nadinbrzezinski]

62. Sure add some icecream to my slice

that is george's attitude

[Jade Fox]

30. The way he is holding his shoulders and arms...

just screams resignation and defeat.

Aww, I feel so sorry for him. :eyes:

[Contrary1]

9. These are probably the most honest expressions

you will ever witness from him.

He knows he's done.

[fooj]

10. Agreed.

Peace.

[Julius Civitatus]

42. He looks pissed off he has to go to NOLA again

Suggested caption:

"I already came here twice! That means "two times," dammit. Why in the hell is Karl still sending me to this hellhole?"

:dunce:

[jean]

11. think he had the gall to rub Nagin's bald cranium? I think not.

[fooj]

13. Nominate.

It's important, IMO, that we see the body language. Very telling!

peace.

[leveymg]

12. They didn't even show him the parts of NOLA that are still underwater.

and have lots of unrecovered bodies.

They should issue him waders, a mask and heavy gloves, pile him into a small boat, and have him spend a whole afternoon in the Lower 16th climbing around in the rafters of mud-filled houses pulling out corpses and body parts.

I might begin to respect him if he did that. On second thought, he may be way beyond redemption.

I'll leave the eternal punishment part to the professionals. :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad: :evilfrown: :mad:

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. "I knew LBJ and he is not LBJ"

to paraphrase a famous debate quote....

There are valid security reasons why they cannot do that... but think... '65 Johnson went the night of the disaster into the shelter and got to work.. for the record in '68 it would have led to a riot, but LBJ did...

THis is not a hands on Presnit when it comes to helping his peoeople and making gov'ment work, this fuck up was on purpose

[onecent]

20. I might begin to respect him (yuk) if he admitted the war was a lie

and ALL THE troops are coming home. And in shifts each troop from the middle east gets to work in the South to bring 'em back to normal...with 30 days with their families. never gonna happen, so I don't have to worry about getting any respect for the doofus.

[Justyce]

16. He needs to spend a few

days in the shithole that was once the Superdome

[vptpt]

17. Does anybody think it might be possible

that the Bush family is realizing little Georgie is messing up the family "reputation"? Could Bush bring down the Bush family? In the end, he might be the MVP for OUR team!

I know, wishful thinking...

[leveymg]

23. He looks like he's one conversation with Poppy and Babs away

from resignation.

Maybe not that far-fetched. They'd probably announce it on a Friday evening after the markets have closed.

No, make it a Monday morning. There might be a huge rally.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

24. He's be happier fishing all day, getting high, and taking naps.

I think his parents ought to support their son.

[leveymg]

34. But, that's what * does now.

The only difference is that his drugs are now prescribed by medical specialists with high security clearances, and he has to travel around in a private jet and limos doing a standup comedy routine.

Still, the prospect of real privacy to complete the process of killing what's left of his own brain cells might seem attractive right now.

[Pacifist Patriot]

53. I hope the fallout from his incompetence and insanity spills over onto

baby brother and the GOP in Florida. Please let it be so!

[Not Me]

22. And just think, he just finished a 33 day vacation.

and still looks like shit.

I know, it's hard werk bein pressidint.

[OneTwentyoNine]

25. Four years took the toll on the hair color,or quit using Just For Bush?

Compare these pics to ones where he's sitting in the classroom on 9/11/01. Hair looks tired,Chimp looks tired.....

[cliss]

26. Deja Vu! Smile George, you're on Candid Camera.

Now watch the media spin this, "George upset because of the devastation. Curses the weather, making life difficult for his beloved subjects".

On the photo below: "Bush concerned about water quality, wants pre-school & kindergarten classes to make up for lost time".

Translation: Bush, you are finished. Pack your bags. You're going home.

[Helga Scow Stern]

27. The face of the Coast Guard guy speaks volumes.

It is not a face of confidence or admiration, but one of deep sorrow, of a heavy heart mixed with resigned fear. He must be saddened that this country is at the mercy of the insenstive buffoon bully in front of him.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

31. I think we all feel that way...

...seriously.

Underneath whatever we feel about George W. Bush, I think there's a deep sorrow over what has happened to our country under his "leadership."

:patriot:

[Double T]

28. 38% Approval Look......

his ride is officially over!!!!!!

[The Backlash Cometh]

29. He looked tired and defeated during the debates too.

The day we find the smoking gun that these right-wingers have cheated their way through the 90s, and got us where we are today, is the day that the real revolution will begin.

[CoffeeCat]

32. He's trying to compensate for the stupid remarks he made...

...when he was last there!

Remember his inane trip down memory lane--pondering over childhood frolicking--while people were trapped in the rafters of their homes?

NIMROD!!!

Everyone recall Junior's wistful glance into the sunset, as he fantasized about sipping mint juleps on Trent Lott's restored porch?

IDIOT!!!!

Rove grabbed him by the shirt collar, and told him to look serious and somber.

Obviously, this look was partially achieved with mass quantities of Ritalin and a shot in the butt with an elephant tranquilizer gun.

MORON!!!

[0007]

33. If his depends are causing a heaviness because of extra urine, he'll

soon have put suspenders on his shorts.

[Catrina]

35. It must be an awful realization

when it dawns on someone that they had the opportunity to do great things, and they blew it, because of arrogance and greed, and a hunger for power and riches.

Those pictures almost make you feel sorry for him.

[understandinglife]

36. The dude knows he's gotta go. Imagine him at the UN this Wed!

Think of the fact that every member nation of the General Assembly will have their senior leadership sitting in that room looking at this piece of shit of a person -- knowing he is a piece of shit of a person -- knowing he will spew even more bullshit than he, Powell, Bolton and all the other criminals who have sat behind "United States of America" have spewed since Jan., 2001.

About all Bush should do is walk to the podium and say "I'm sorry and I'm returning to the White House to resign and I'm making Cheney resign before I do."


Peace.

[nadinbrzezinski]

38. If he did that, I think we all woudl go

ok we respect you for that single adult moment, now go take your medicine... (jail time)

[leveymg]

45. It's good to see so many of us catching onto the resignation meme.

Makes such complete sense, I wonder when it will start to spill upward into the policy and national security classes.

Once it takes a hold there, Bush-Cheney really are through, even if they would rather complete the ruin they've started.

Things are looking up. Knock wood.

[graywarrior]

39. Looks like he finally caught up to what the rest of America

has been feeling since 2000.

[robbedvoter]

40. Nah! Just pretending he cares

[frictionlessO]

41. Give that friggin' moran a pretzel and a bicycle!

Hari Kari, lil' boots... learn it quickly and implement it quicker.

[FreedomAngel82]

44. He's trying to go for a different look here

A "compassionate" look. Like everything is hurting his feelings oh so much with the devestation. :eyes:

[AspenRose]

46. Look at how much he's aged. Think he needs another vacation?

eom

[enough]

48. I don't trust it at all. Somebody told him to look serious and humbled.

That's the way he does it.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

49. Very sobering to see and hear all of these things

after spending the last five years secluded in meetings and rallies where people only say wonderful things about you. He couldn't even take five minutes of anger from a dead soldier's mother, so this has to be a huge reality shock.

[tinrobot]

51. He doesn't want to be president

You can see it all over his face. Too much responsibility, too much hard work.

He seems like the guy who just quit his job and has two weeks to go. Doesn't give a crap, just wants out.

[Inland]

52. The stress of his pretense to empathy shows on his face.

the effort of thinking "what would someone who gives a shit do, say, look like at this point?"

[Pacifist Patriot]

54. Funny, I didn't think he was bothering with any pretense.

Then again, as soon as I see him I avert my eyes. The visuals are just too creepy now.

[rateyes]

56. What do you think now, Mr. Bush...

of the results of your non-involvement in this crisis?

[BlueJac]

61. Cuff the loser and Chief

[katinmn]

64. awww. he's putting on his sad boy face.

Bet he's not as sad as this kid who still hasn't been reunited with his parents.

Bush is sad about his own ass.

http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/PageServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&PageId=2077

[Jacobin]

66. Has he pat Nagan on the head yet?

Ya know how he likes to pat bald black men on the head.....I think if he does that, Nagan will deck him

[redwitch]

67. Looks like he could use a vacation.

snort. (As VelmaD would say)

[Edgewater_Joe]

68. Is That Aaron Broussard Behind Him In Photo 2?

???

[ElsewheresDaughter]

70. no i believe that,s the CG man who took brown's place

[ElsewheresDaughter]

69. maybe your god will forgive you but i wonder how many of the dead

can

[Catfight]

71. "Oblivious, arrogant and dangerous!" nt

[quiet.american]

72. Looks like his ole professional photo-op "I CARE" face. n/t

[MissMarple]

73. The people he is with are not smiling and effusively complementary.

They are grim, angry and grieving. And justifiably so.

Don't worry George, someone will meet you soon with the happy pills and the laudatory praise.

[calimary]

74. No, he doesn't look tired and defeated. He looks like he's just heard

the latest polls that show him heading toward the bottom of the toilet bowl. He's thinking "how the hell do I get out of this one? I HAVE to be on top... how do we change everybody's minds...hmmm... what kind of photo-op do I need next..."

The other thought that alternates with it is "aw, fuck, why do I have to come down here AGIN???? I'm SO SICK of this Katrina shit. It's SO over. And I had to cut my vacation short for THIS? Fuck these people. They didn't even vote for me. Why weren't they all just washed away - now I gotta deal with 'em... Fuck - karl!! karl? condi? Where are ya, guys? Somebody fix it for me! Somebody? Anybody? Hello..."

[Crunchy Frog]

75. He's out of sorts right now.

His brain, Rove, is preoccupied with pushing some of these through his urinary tract.

[Jamastiene]

76. He has been practicing from what I see. It must have taken

hours in front of the mirror to get that face down pat. Or maybe he had to alter his smirk to keep the smell of the after effects of his laziness from gagging him.

[dave123williams]

80. Man, he looks like he could use a DRINK.

[McCamy Taylor]

81. "My mommy would let me have a Big Red. You're a old meanie!"
