Look at this Pic of * viewing Rosa Parks

[rhino47]

Total look of boredom and distain.Look at pickles.They look real happy to be there NOT!

[sinkingfeeling]

1. The idiot looks like he thinks the whole thing is stupid and boring.

[question everything]

54. Now, now. He can't help it. This is his regular expression

for everything. Except, perhaps, while choking on a pretzel or getting blasted.

We don't beat down on handicapped people, right?

[ixion]

2. worst. president. ever.

and a constant source of embarrassment for our nation. :-(

[leftofthedial]

36. one of the worst *people* ever

a disgrace to the species

[ixion]

40. indeed. A poster boy for how NOT to be a good human

:-(

[leftofthedial]

42. he is perpetually stuck at the emotional age of five years old

that's when Babs stopped breast feeding him.

[Stand and Fight]

3. Wow... He and Laura both look annoyed as hell.

I wonder what B.S. is going through their minds. I almost said "racist B.S." but I won't go there.

[rhino47]

9. I will go there.Thats what I implied when I posted the pic Stand

They are not even paying lip service.Their demeanor is an insult to what that great lady brought to this country.He sure as hell didnt look that bored at old mother rayguns morbid love fest.His body language in the photo suggests he is uncomfortable with the grieving people there.Yeah racist .I think you can go there Stand and Fight.

[havocmom]

19. Yep, they are obviously ticked at having to attend services

for someone they see as 'hired help'. pProbably didn't improve their move that the lady was black AND got all that uppity stuff stoked up, which made other hired help so hard to push around for the Haves and the Have Mores.

[Syncronaut Seven]

26. Laura is envious, she'll never lay in the rotunda.

Now Jeff Gannon, he's already had the honor.

[bertha katzenengel]

4. See the disdain on his face.

This is disgraceful.

[skypilot]

5. Look at the little boy.

He notices. Probably thinking, "Who is this asshole?"

[Ernesto]

15. That's about how I looked at his age...........

Only difference is that it was the early Dick Nixon that I was thinking "what an asshole" about.

[peekaloo]

32. He seems mesmerized by the hairy knuckles/palms of Satan.

[skypilot]

34. He's probably wondering...

...if Bush is the guy who demanded that Ms.Parks give up her seat.

[rhino47]

47. Ohhhh good one skypilot

I love your tag.Can I borrow it ?

[skypilot]

48. My tag.

You're welcome to it. Pass it around. :)

[xchrom]

6. the usual numb skull.

he's an idiot.

[Bouncy Ball]

7. Can't he just for ONCE at least TRY to look interested in

what's going on around him?

Just once, is that too much to ask?

[tnlefty]

59. Unless he's hawking a war, tax cuts, or terra, then, yes, I think it

is too much to ask. These subjects interest him, so his attention span is a little longer, and when discussing death and terraists to try to scare the American people into giving him what he wants, he doesn't make quite as many mistakes while speaking. Not much else of consequence to our spoiled little prince.

[Xenotime]

8. No respect

at all.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

10. I think I'd look the same if I was forced to attend Augusto Pinochet's

funeral and hear people go on and on about how great he was.

Right wingers hate the good guys as much as we hate the bad guys.

If you don't believe me, some knuckedragger wrote this at some Web forum:

"Pathetic Ebonics appeasement.
Every Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman that gave up their life fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan deserves to be viewed in the Rotunda a million times more than some black chick that refused to give her seat on a bus about 50 years ago.
They don’t put Congressional Medal of Honor awardees in the Rotunda so why the hell should they put this bitch there?
It just shows how screwed up the priorities of this country have gotten. Political correctness has gone amuck.
Piss on the shitheads that made this decision."

[Bouncy Ball]

16. That right winger ought to know that it's the bush administration

who doesn't want to call any attention to the deaths of service members. I would love it if they could be honored that way, too!

Rosa Parks deserves this. It's the least we can do, as a nation. And it's not just about her, but honoring the movement her action sparked.

THAT probably pisses them off a lot, too.

[MemphisTiger]

11. It's like he's trying to change the angle to look up a girls dress

Pickles is mad because the female nominee withdrew.

[Contrary1]

12. Laura looks like she's hung over...

trying too hard to look serious. Chimpie...well, he just looks
like he does every day.

[rhino47]

14. Pickles looks like shes one step away from rolling her eyes. nt

[ewagner]

13. Observations from CNN coverage last night

First, about the little boy next to Bush*: He said something to Dubya and Dubya acknowledged and shook his hand...then went immediately back to the "1000 yard stare" that you see in the pics.

Second, I think the pic of Laura above is an abberation. I thought her deportment during the ceremony was okay. In fact, I think she controlled herself much better than Bush*.

Third, I think Bush* was absolutely horrible at concealing his impatience to get out of there. He certainly didn't want to be there.

[July]

20. How many seconds did he give Rosa Parks?

I timed his weird moment before Reagan's casket: 12-13 seconds.

[ewagner]

25. Near as I could tell

it was about 10 seconds or so....didn't seem like too long but it did seem very, very awkward.

[madrchsod]

17. bush`s "i really like colored folks" photo op

i`m really proud of my fellow americans who voted for this guy.
oh ya, pickles is really looking bad isn`t she

[StaggerLee]

18. Being a zero must be easy work

Pretending to care is apparently too much for these a-

I'm not even gonna say it outta respect to Ms. Rosa Parks.

RIP Ms. Parks.

You were truly a great American.

[rhino47]

23. Stagger off subject but you dont happen to sell Tshirts on ebay do you ?

Just wondering.I saw a guy with your nick has some good howards zinn shirts.

[StaggerLee]

27. No that's not me. Got a link?

Sounds cool.

:hi:

[rhino47]

28. His seller ID is staggertee

I got a hunter thompson and howard zinn shirt off him.He sells some cool shirts.

[StaggerLee]

31. gotcha

Thanks for the info. I need to add to my wardrobe.

[truthisfreedom]

21. someone forgot to straighten chimpie's tie

what a distracted little president we have.

[calico1]

22. Bored to death again, I see. n/t

[Ian David]

24. Pretend for a moment that this pic doesn't represent their actual mood...

What, then, would it tell you about the mood of the media that has chosen to publish this photo?

Could it perhaps be that the tide is finally turning and the media is slowly finding their way back to our side?

[rhino47]

30. This photo came from the aussie paper the age.

Heres the link.

[Frustratedlady]

29. Laura's raised eyebrow signifies...

"Harrumph! What's so special about her?" A typical snob's reaction. That surprises me more than the idjit's look. Looks like a bored little boy in church.

[Canuckistanian]

33. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.... I'm outta here!

And I think some black people were looking at me with non-adoring eyes..

[Dunvegan]

35. Considering that Rosa Parks symbolizing "Speaking Truth to Power..."

...via civil disobedience, there's little wonder if Bush thinks honoring Rosa and her defiance of "evil-doers" is an irritatingly self-defeating act.

Speakers at recent anti-war rallies have said regarding Cindy Sheehan:

"Rev. Jesse Jackson (in Wash DC) thanked Sheehan for bearing witness in the tradition of Rosa Parks, Helen Keller and Harriet Tubman."

"In a fiery speech before introducing Sheehan, Maupin compared her to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr."

...not only that, but I'd guess that even out-of-touch-* must have a clue that Ms. Parks was highly unlikely to have numbered among the 2% of Black Americans that supported his presidency.

I wonder if the other factor in the Bushes' snapshot demeanor is that the room is filled with people that believe in civil rights and civil disobedience to secure their rights.

Considering his administration, * is honoring a symbol of courage to stand up and defy the likes of himself and his administration.

Awkward, that.

[Tower]

37. HEY! Let's play Where's the Secret Service Guy.

Can you spot him? He really blends in!

[rhino47]

44. LOL Tower and a Belated Welcome to DU !

:hi: :bounce: :hi:

[paparush]

38. Laura Flashing back to when she DUI-Killed her classmate

Bush looking like he needs his wind-up key turned a few times.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

39. You guys are a hoot

This guy could sprout wings and ascend to the heavens and we'd have a huge thread about how awful he is!

I love it.

But damn, I'm glad there aren't cameras on ME 24-7.

[Dunvegan]

41. It's just us returning the "complement," Tallahassee Grannie...

...that the Rep. party members payed Clinton with...24/7 surveillance of the Big Dog's every expression and every move...including that of Bill and Hillary's personal life.

Fair exchange is no robbery.

(Edited due to the "low-caffeine level = typos" phenomenon.)

[TallahasseeGrannie]

50. You know, I remember that

every shade redder the poor man's nose got somebody reported on it. And I don't think he is even a drinker, although I'm not really sure. I guess this is the way it will be from now on, now that we have the Interent and instant communications.

I pity poor Hilary if she jumps into the fray again. I like her and almost hope she doesn't for that reason. But I guess she has developed a pretty thick skin.

[Lisa]

43. if Bush sprouted wings, we could start a thread ...

... about how he is too lazy to walk!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

51. Yep...

we sure would! But if he did sprout wings I'd really have to re-examine my spiritual life!

[Lisa]

56. actually, your spiritual life would be fine

Since the wings he sprouted would undoubtedly be leathery bat wings (like in "Dracula").

[TallahasseeGrannie]

58. A great Halloween metaphor

plus I despise bats. Yikes.

[Jo March]

45. I highly doubt that he'll sprout wings and ascend anywhere

He is the worst president ever, bar none. He is worse than Nixon.

Yes, we have many threads here that discuss how awful he is. In quite a few of them, you seem to disagree. That is so odd.

Bush sucks. In every way, large and small, he sucks. He is a lousy president and a lousy human being. He has no respect for his fellow man. He gives lip service to being a Christian.

You're darn right we are going to talk about how awful he is. This is DU. The D stands for Democratic - as in "not Republican." We don't drink the kool-aid here.

Find me a picture where he ISN'T doing, saying or looking stupid. You won't find one.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

49. Like I said...

it's a hoot. I get a kick out of it.

If you check my posts you'll find I usually try and say something somewhat decent about most folks. That's me. Maybe it comes with age. Pragmatism.

I really don't know if he's the worst prez or not because I'm not really a student of presidentail history. I guess time will tell. Lousy human being? Never met him, but one clue is starting a war with little or no provocation, so I'm inclined to agree with you there.

I never voted for a Republican in my long life.

Cool Aid? Don't like it. Don't like Democratic brand OR the Republican brand!

[rhino47]

46. You honestly defend his insensitivity on this occasion?

He is at best being bored at a FUNERAL !
We are picking on him ? I think not.
free republic is that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> way.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

53. Re-read my post

I didn't defend anything. I just am laughing about the pile on.

[FreedomAngel82]

52. I think it's a mixture of

trying to look sympathetic and bored. LOL at the little boy looking up at him.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

55. The child's expression is a classic.

[Flubadubya]

60. Looks like Shrub must have just rubbed his little head..

:rofl:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

61. The kid's the one that drew my attention

Sorta looks a little like Emmanuel Lewis. Could it BE Emmanuel Lewis?

Stopping. That was bad.

But there really is pathos in that child "looking up" to Dear Leader.

D.L. just looks like he looks every time he thinks about brown people. And Pickles just looks like who she is: the lovechild of the Joker, all jacked up on Smilex.

:evilgrin:

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

57. He's hoping he doesn't have to stay too long, cause he wants to go

watch cartoons.

She is thinking I'm so embarrassed. I just can't take him anywhere.

They just plain aren't mentally present in the situation.

I saw Levin earlier and he looked meditative, probably in prayer, and reflective about Rosa Parks.

C'mon *, try to at least pretend you wanna be there and are contemplating what a great woman Rosa was.

[GOPisEvil]

62. They view this as an annoyance.

Rosa Parks was just a commoner, for crying out loud. :eyes:

[lebkuchen]

63. He clearly has no idea who she is.

[Lisa]

64. of course he knows! This is "Rosa Park" ...

Some famous lady (from Korea, maybe?) who did something or other. He'll ask Laura if he remembers tonight.

p.s. I'm not making this up -- he did indeed say "Rosa Park".

http://www.dubyaspeak.com/whatsinaname.phtml

[ComerPerro]

65. LOL

[bluedawg12]

66. Probably wondering why Rhenquist is still lying there! LOL n/t

[mandomom]

67. How dare he interfere with the Parks honor by

using the morning hours to trump his latest SCOTUS pick. He has no sense of decency or proportion to historic moments like today's memorial service. He stepped on Rosa Park's moment in history as surely as he slaps all Americans in the face with his current nomination. What will the press say about this? NOTHING. They'll pretend that dems are spreading ethnic slurs about Alito. And they will not look at the dirty tricks and bad judgement of the repubs.

[sabra]

68. * prolly wondering if they have an open bar.
