This needs a CAPTION (and a WTF? on more authority!)
Edited on Fri Apr-28-06 07:54 AM by Pacifist Patriot


This photo blurb from CNN.com just won't cut it. Though it is hilarious to contemplate that our "president" still thinks he can use authority wisely. Or indeed, ever thought he could. Why do I think someone else cleaned up the quote before it made it to press? Oh yeah, it has words that exceed a single syllable.

President Bush says he wants to raise fuel-efficiency standards on automobiles, as members of both parties jockeyed for political position on the issue of rising gas prices. "I encourage them to give me that authority," Bush told reporters during a visit to a service station in Biloxi, Mississippi. "It's an authority I used for light trucks, and I intend to use it wisely if Congress will give me that authority."

More authority? More?!?!?!

"See if they have any vodka!"

"I can't seem to raise my right arm."

4. Why doesn't he just take "authority" like he usually does? It's always
I I I with him. Screws everything up and doesn't take responsibility for it. Jumps on the bandwagon after others offer solutions to his screw ups, and tries to take credit for it, after the fact. He is such a LOSER!
