Did you all see the footage that Keith O. kept playing of the guys ignoring Bush?

[my3boyz]

I thought it was hilarious! I hope more of them ignore him. He is pathetic. I hope the Repubicans lose the majority of the military vote.

[skooooo]

1. were those troops?

I wasn't sure from the video.

2. I thought they were just a couple of guys watching from a distance,

but whoever they were it was really funny. Bush kept waving at them, more and more intensely, and the guys just stood there.

7. I just watched the footage below and I was wrong. I changed the title. nt

6. Oh...I thought they were. Perhaps I was wrong? nt

3. Can you fill out your comment for those away from television?

The hotel where I'm staying doesn't have MSNBC, so I missed KO.

Thanks.

4. Here --

I think they're referring to this. As one DUer said, it's about 7 min into the clip (but the whole clip is good!).

5. It was a clip of Bush getting out of his helicopter

(actually it's OUR helicopter), and he sees these two men standing at a little distance behind a fence. So he waves at them. The men don't move. He waves again. They still don't move, although it's clear that they are watching him. So he waves AGAIN, really frantically, and the guys still just stand there. It's hilarious.

8. Would have been perfect if the workers would have fingered Bush.

I watched it over and over hoping just once the fingers would extend.

13. Too bad there weren't a couple of full moons out that day... n/t

[Raine]

18. Yeah and he gives that BIG wave

where you move your whole arm trying to get someone's attention ... and still no response ... too funny! :rofl: :evilgrin:

[IDemo]

9. John Cusack: "Yeah, that's funny. That's our president."

The tape was being played on a continuous loop during his interview yesterday.

10. The rest of the world has Bush on ignore. What a troll!

[Hieronymus]

11. Yes, it was wonderful.

[azmouse]

12. Watching * being ignored made my day!

I can hardly wait until 1/20/09.

14. I would have flipped him off. I could not have helped it.

Whatever the ramifications, the pleasure of having George W. Bush see me flip him off would have been worth it.

[hokies4ever]

15. That's what I was expecting to see

with the way that Olbermann was hyping up the video. Their refusal to wave was pretty good too.

[Blondiegrrl]

17. I flipped off the presidential motorcade when Bush was in town a couple of years ago.

It was very therapeutic. :evilgrin:

[Raine]

19. I should've done that to poppy Bush when he

came to my area. It was just after he took office and I was so relieved that Raygun was gone that when he looked out the limo window and waved ... I waved back ... CRAP ... SHAME ON ME! :blush: :spank: :-(

[provis99]

21. oh well, given what Raygun was like, thats understandable

If I were one of the two (two!) guys who showed up at W.'s grand entrance, I would have flipped him the bird with both hands.

Maybe the two guys were just a couple of lost drunks, and meandered over to see what was going on?

[blogslut]

16. Oh my

Now, that's a shunning I can believe in!

20. You can just see the warm welcome in their stance

:grr:
