The Great Photo Op

So the Great Photo Op occurred. President Bush was, properly, flanked by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. McCain was at one end. Obama was at the other.

The entire circus was a bad joke. This was a disastrous play by John McCain imo. He looks like a fool playing politics, and lousy politics at that.

There will be an event tomorrow night in Oxford, Mississippi with or without John McCain

AND WHAT IS HE DOING IN DC RIGHT NOW?

Sen. McCain left his lunch in the Capitol at 1:50 p.m. and returned to his Russell Senate office with Sen. Lieberman and Rick Davis. Your pooler asked him if he was making any progress and he said something I couldn't hear too well, but seemed friendly and basically nonresponsive. So your pooler said that I would be around all day and if there's anything he'd like to tell me I'd be happy to hear. That got a laugh from Lieberman and a "thanks, Jilly" from McCain. As I type, Sen. Graham and Doug Holtz-Eakin have entered the Senate office.

1. Notice Bush called them in after Reid said they weren't needed...

Political... totally.

[MO_Dem]

2. I saw the pictures on CNN

and I was aghast! John McCain was sitting there LAUGHING! Really! How can he laugh when we're in a financial crisis and his campaign is suspended? Totally inappropriate!


:sarcasm:

12. Xanax are yellow

he must have gotten the wrong pill

3. My dear Obama's jaw is a tad clenched. I hope he takes the tension he's most

likely feeling and turns it into some beautiful shit to lay on that tableful of smiling cretins.

I ain't worried - he'll do it, eh? I just feel for him I guess is what I mean.

4. He did look a bit.. I dunno.. peeved. Last time I saw him with "that" look was the ABC debate.

[nickyt]

13. Did you see the latest shot (taken from his left)? Oh yeah, that is one tightly

clenched mass of facial muscles!! He is soooo over this horseshit!

That's okay - I think it's kinda cool he couldn't mask his disgust - he'll recover & be fine (gonna need a hazmat shower, but, he'll be fine!!!)

16. I just saw that, LOL ! He's gonna give himself TMJ lock !

[lutefisk]

10. Of course his jaw was clenched. Apparently Bush puts off quite an odor...n/t

[nc4bo]

14. If he feels like the majority of us, he'd probably like to open up a can of whoop ass on everyone

in that room.

5. I think Bush played McCain here. Bush wants it to appear that HE is in charge, not McCain.

Bizarre power grab.

[SuperTrouper]

6. McCain crashed his Campaign but he is not at the Hanoi House

He is at the Bush House of Horrors and is a Prisoner of W.

[leftynyc]

7. Could be revenge for

the convention. Bush's name was mentioned a total of 6 times and NEVER by mccain. It was bush that insisted on speaking by sattelite the second night. I don't think he liked being dissed by his own party.

[Barack_America]

9. I think Bush is trying to create some scrap of a legacy.

It's a hopeless cause, but I think he hates how ineffectual he is. He just wants some scrap of influence.

8. McCain had a shit-eatin' grin on his face in the video CNN just showed...

...wait 'til he sees he wasnt in the picture...we'll hafta call him a waaaaaaaaambulance!

[K Gardner]

11. He must've had his afternoon meds.

15. a fucking dog & pony show to make mcliar look credible
