PHOTO: *WHO* holds a child this way?

[Bluebear]

Displaying her like a trophy. Ecch.



U.S. President George W. Bush (L) holds up 5-year-old Isabelle Colletti as he greets U.S. soldiers and their families with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (R) during their visit to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, July 26, 2006. Bush and al-Maliki ate lunch with U.S. soldiers and their families at the base.

1. Michael Jackson?

[SammyBlue]

19. You stole my thunder!

But with his goofy look, I'd say any child molester in the world.

[KansDem]

44. Jacko in action

What an asshole...

[mr_hat]

2. Both hands gripping her left thigh. Disgusting.

[WinkyDink]

31. Mmmmm....meat........

[Joanne98]

3. He's probably a child molestor too.

[mom cat]

28. That is probably what is behind his creepy smile.

[EFerrari]

4. Someone who knows there are minders at his elbow. n/t

[renate]

5. it feels really weird to me to defend the guy, but here goes:

If he'd held her the way parents usually hold a little kid (with the girl straddling his hip, and his hand supporting her bottom and leg) he'd be accused of being a pervert.

It does look pretty weird, though, no doubt.

[Bluebear]

8. Well he's standing up . . .

I would think if he picked her up he would give her a genuine little hug and put her down, but he's holding her like he is displaying her!

[Sequoia]

12. "Why do you have to always be so GD logical" Bones to Spock

[rniel]

6. Looks to me like

He's really happy because he's about to drop her into a boiling pot of water. His face always animates a little when he's about to destroy something.

[Sequoia]

7. "See, She isn't crying." Bush chortled.

Get yer dirty mitts off my baby girl you slack-brained monkey.

[partylessinOhio]

9. Looks like porno to me. Why does * have to touch people at all?

[cboy4]

10. Are you surprised? Look how he holds Barney the dog!!!!!

:eyes:

[Crunchy Frog]

32. Look how he drops Barney the dog.

I'm just waiting for him to do that with a baby. I wonder if the twins got dropped on their heads as infants.

[cboy4]

36. I don't know about the twins, but certainly Bush got dropped on his

head multiple times! ;)

How else could anyone on earth be as stupid? :shrug:

[Crunchy Frog]

38. Well wouldn't you drop him on his head if he were your brat?

I would have flushed him down the toilet if he'd been mine.x(

[elehhhhna]

39. I'd've dropped him on my own head, if necessary.

[cboy4]

46. Well, you'd have to wait line! ;)

[cboy4]

45. I retract my insult. Why? Because saying Bush is stupid because

he was dropped on his head is an insult to everyone else who has been dropped on their heads, yet are one thousand times smarter than the idiot in the White House!

[Bluebear]

48. ...

:spray:

[soup]

11. How odd.

Trying to figure out the motions it would take to get a child perched like that.

[Bluebear]

That's what I was getting at.

'Trying to figure out the motions it would take to get a child perched like that.'

[peace13]

13. The problem is that the young girl is too big to be held

for a photo op. As you can see he has the little ones in the background crying! Peace, Kim

[MorningGlow]

14. He's a natural

Not.

[Bethany Rockafella]

43. Your pic is perfect for photoshopping the kid peeing on George. :)

The kid's leg is even raised for the task.

[SoCalDem]

15. This is who holds a child that way

[Bluebear]

16. ....

:spray:

Perfect!

[geomon666]

17. Now now, you have to stop using those doctored white house photos.

We all know this is what the scene actually looked like before they replaced Bushler with a human.

[buff2]

18. He looks like a ventriloquist holding his dummy

What a stupid worthless piece of shit he is. :puke:

[katty]

20. bush looks 'ghoulish' - another scary photo-creepy vibe

[SammyBlue]

21. Smile for the camera, bitch. Be a good little prop! Look at the camera.

Seriously, he just looks into the camera.

It's supposed to be endearing? It's creepy!!!

[soup]

22. What I just realized.. sequence

So he's meetin and greetin, grinnin and grabbin, walkin along the line...

Takes the few seconds for the weird photo with the little girl...

the child is given back to her father(?)...

and here he is going after another...

[MsKandice01]

23. He's unraveling...

Dude, what the fuck is that face he's making?

[geomon666]

25. lol, that photo reminds me of something....

[semillama]

30. "MMM, that's good Jew baby heart! MMM!"

thank god for David Cross.

[BadgerKid]

34. Control issues for $200, Alex

I am wondering.... He's uncomfortable in public when challenged. He sneers. He wishes to be the dictator. He's photographed touching people. He presumes authori-tah to issue "laws".

[conflictgirl]

24. OMG, that's really strange

It looks like he's about to catapult her.

[Ignoramus]

26. A child salesman?

It's like he's trying to sell you a papaya.

"Hey, wannna buy a kid? Take a look at this beautiful one. I sell for you special price."

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. "Wow, soft as Condi's! Yum. Where's Laura? I need 6 minutes alone"

what a creep

[Crunchy Frog]

29. He looks like he's holding tonights main course.

Probably salivating at the thought of her gracing his dinner table with an apple in her mouth.

He really does look like a psycho in that picture. (More so than in most.)

[Ian_rd]

33. She is a prop for a photo. Therefore she is held like a bowling trophy. nt

[walldude]

35. Reminds me of this shot from the Top 10 #251

Holding that cup just right isn't he...

[smokey nj]

37. He has the same look on his face that he had with the.....

plastic turkey.

[DistressedAmerican]

40. A Ventriloquist.

He can make her sing while drinking a bottle of wild turkey too!

[lpbk2713]

41. Put a fire helmet on her and get more points out of the pic.

:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

42. well, that gave me the creeps

seriously...I got that funny feeling in my tummy

[CoffeeCat]

47. Ok, I have a 5 yr old, and a 6 year old...

...and they have lots of 5- and 6-year old friends.

I can't imagine someone pointing a camera at us--and me PICKING THE CHILDREN UP FOR THE PHOTO!!!

That's what's wrong with this picture! Why would he pick up a 5-year old child and hold her like she's a 5-month old baby?

It looks unnatural and bizarre, because he's holding her like you would an infant.

The man's social graces are all hoarked up from years of snorting coke and guzzling Chivas.

I bet he holds Bandar like that too.

[Swamp Rat]

49. A cannibal

[spacelady]

50. There is something very feral about his nose. *shudder* n/t

[lonestarnot]

51. Not even monkies! Certainly someone who does not engender

a person with even 1/2 a heart.
