2. I can't even remember what it's like not to be perpetually
embarrassed by the president anymore. It'll be nice to have one who doesn't make me cringe daily.

3. Gee, THANKS! for the memories.
Now could this idiot just move along to life in prison for crimes against the eyeballs--and humanity??

Sorry, caught me one glass of Merlot too far to be amused by this array of crass behavior from the "man" who made a mockery of the highest office in our land!

Glad I didn't see this til this morning, when my sense of humor has been restored somewhat. At least I can laugh albeit a bit hysterically.

22. My favorite is one from a few years ago when he is about to address the UN,
I believe. He is sitting in an ornate oversized chair, with his cheeks puffed out, looking like a kid who is being forced to behave among the grown ups. I don't know how to locate that photo, but I am sure some of you know which one I mean.

63. Not quite, though I suspect the one I mean was taken at about the
same time. In the one I refer to, he is leaning slightly to one side with his cheeks puffed out, a lot like the way he is puffing them out in this picture:


That blowing out of the cheeks seems to be a characteristic expression for him anyway, but combined with the oversized chair and the uncomfortable-looking position in the UN pic I am thinking of, he really does look like a third-grader in trouble.

In fact, it's the only time I really liked something Bush did.

It's something I could see Obama doing, as well.

40. Let's not forget the RNC.. USING 9/11 PHOTO AS A FUNDRAISER


http://www.buzzflash.com/editorial/2002/09/06_Bush_911.html

Besides the fact that the photos are mislabeled (the second photo is "Bush speaking to Congress on Feb. 27, 2001, well before the Sept. 11 attacks") and misleading (the 9-11 photo gives the impression that Bush was in charge, when we know he finished reading his children's book -- even after the second tower was attacked -- and then ran away from D.C. like a scared chicken), it took the Democrats to rightfully call this kind of fund-raising what is was: "troubling," "grotesque," and the "cynical use of a photo of that period."
(See: http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/national/kerr05152002.htm, http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/
DailyNews/fundraising_020514.html and http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/2002/06/11_Booker.html)

As Al Gore said in a statement about the photos, "While most pictures are worth a thousand words, a photo that seeks to capitalize on one of the most tragic moments in our nation's history is worth only one - disgraceful. I cannot imagine that the families of those who lost their lives on September 11th condone this - and neither should the President of the United States."
(See: http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/05.15I.Gore.911.Photos.htm)

But that hasn't stopped the Bushistas and their GOP Global Domination Money Vacuum.

In spite of the obvious callousness of Bush's publicly-funded travels to raise money for the GOP, the AP reported on August 29, 2002, "President Bush blazed new records in raising campaign cash Thursday as events in two states -- his 49th and 50th fund-raisers of the year -- pushed his total to nearly $110 million and provided fresh evidence that money is the oxygen of American political life."
(See: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?
tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020830/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_18)

On his many fundraising trips to gather this "oxygen of American political life," does Bush tell people that Osama bin Laden, Mullah Omar and the anthrax terrorist are still free, the economy has tanked, the surplus is gone, unemployment is rising, and the international community laughs at his simple-mindedness one minute and fears his warmongering unilateral actions the next?

Does he mention that he wants to send our friends and family into a war with Iraq that he has not justified and either his stupidity or arrogance has prevented him from hearing the voices of the U.S. citizens, those in Congress and the rest of the world who wholeheartedly disagree with his dangerous plans?

Is it part of his stump speech to remind America that his agenda has never been compassionate and his policies are radically conservative?

So, we ask, what could Bush possibly be telling people that would make them give him more money?

See the pictures yourself and, perhaps, you can determine why anyone would support George W. Bush for anything but an award for bad taste.

I found this in an old thread from 2003 started by La_Serpiente (via google). Signing anti late term abortion legislation. Obviously the hangers are photoshopped.



It really creeps me out. Why are they all so fucking happy? Couldn't they even pretend to be solemn on such a righteous occasion? Weren't they doing god's will? Weren't they saving babies even at the expense of the mother's life? They look like their all having orgasms as they watch him put the last nail on a coffin...

59. So many misty watercolor memories ... but it would've been more realistic
to narrow it down to the top 50. I'd forgotten about Bush climbing back onto AF1 in a "my work here is done" manner after his New Orleans speechifying. I wonder which set designer was charged with creating the theatrical sweat stain on his back.

More treasured moments from the "Let's Pretend I'm the President" Little Golden Book:

Fake superjock Bush


Fake ranch hand Bush


Fake military hero Bush


Fake troop supportin' Bush


Genuine scabby Bush
