1. That poor Iraqi vendor is probably a marked man.. Having your picture taken

with a warmongering US politician is not good for the average Iraqi's "health".

[waiting for hope]

2. I need me some Ray Bans dude...

I heard Georgie had some and they made him look super kewl.

[AlCzervik]

3. Salesguy "You and your money are no good here"

4. Hey, this IS just like Indiana. Nobody's voting for me there, either.

[mitchum]

53. LMAO!!!

well done :)

[Gregorian]

5. Keep your Dinar. I only take bribes in Dollars.

[jgraz]

6. I know I'm supposed to come up with something funny here..

But all I can think of is FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK!!!!!

[Ioo]

[Sanity Claws]

9. Is he using US currency?

But they say Iraq is a sovereign country with its own government. Why isn't he using its currency?

[onethatcares]

he's using part of the 12 billion that disappeared

at least some of it is remaining in country.

[BurtWorm]

26. He's demonstrating freakonomics to his Iraqi brother?

:shrug:

[Deep13]

10. per vendor: "Senator?! I thought you were a grown-up retarded kid."

[MADem]

11. Man, is that FUCKED UP....look at those asswipes.

As a former bazaar rat in another life, that is just the most ABSURD thing I have ever seen. Ya wanna do well in the bazaar, ya gotta blend in, haggle a little, chit chat, take your time.

Really, all these fuckers in VESTS AND HELMETS...and look at the poor baaastid selling the goods?

Shit, you'd think they might have brought along a spare helmet for the guy--who isn't a target, but could get hit, simply because he is surrounded by all those assholes.

And on edit--the bum had better not expect the guy to make a lot of change. The smart bazaar shopper brings a load of small bills, and pretends to not have a lot of cash on them, either!!

[Gregorian]

12. No exploding vest. No shoes. No service.

[IDemo]

13. "Anything you got, long as they're rose colored, or blinders"

And this vest, and a helmet and.....

[PassingFair]

39. Just inadvertently copied you downthread......

[El Supremo]

15. Reminds me of a scene in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'

Where the Nazis are in the bazaar.

(Lots of thing remind me of old movies)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. "My money's as genuine as my concern for you."

41. you don't "think" it's true?

what's to think about?

[Deep13]

45. Sorry, but I don't recognize the jurisdiction of the PC police.

Wow.

[npincus]

51. OK, well...

unfortunatly I've heard all manner of anti-Semitic remarks in my day: "jew" used as a verb to describe someone cheap (like, he "jewed" me), and just plain "so-and-so's a cheap jew", much because I don't "look Jewish" (I was told- no horns and giant hook nose, I guess), so this was said in my presence. Oh, that's another one I heard: "You're too pretty to be Jewish", from some dumbass who knew I was Jewish.

So pardon me if I don't dig the cheap jew aspect of the joke- sorry. I know you didn't mean to offend- and I think Lieberman is the biggest fucking asshole around, but I hate him for all sorts of other reasons. And there is so much to dislike about the man.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. I gave you a 20, not a 5.

[johnnie]

19. One roll of toilet paper please

... I've shat in my pants 4 times while walking across the street.

[partylessinOhio]

20. OMG! Reminds me when the feds broke into the house and stole

Elian!

Is it any wonder we are now the world's terrorists?

(Is he afraid a bird is going to poop on his head?)

[texas1928]

22. It is sad when you have to have armed guards to make a vendor take your money.

[Gregorian]

24. How do you know he's not paying Joe to just LEAVE?

:)

Please. GO!

[texas1928]

33. Joe's a politician, there would have to be more bills involved.

So it has to be Joe forcing him to take his money.

Snug and safe in my armor. I am more important after all.

[Neecy]

42. what's that written on his flak jacket?

Looks like someone's scribbled "KU2" on the little cowards flak jacket.

Maybe it's code to the vendors --- when I leave here, they'll kill u 2!

[Jed Dilligan]

43. When you wake up in the mornin' and the sunlight hurts your head

First thing you do, when you get up out of bed
Is hit the ground runnin', and try to meet the masses

Go get yerself some cheap sunglasses!

[Gregorian]

46. His flak jacket was kind of tight.

But the thing that really knocked me out was his cheap sunglasses. Oh yeah!

[Jed Dilligan]

48. Or...

Now go out and get yourself some thick black frames
And get out of Iraq before they even knew you came.
Go tell some braver fellows to go kick Al Qaida's asses
Hide your shame with some cheap sunglasses

Yeah!

[Solly Mack]

44. Caption aside

How fucking stupid are Congress people to think a photo-op of them shopping in Iraq - under heavily armed guards, a pre-planned route that was cleared and mapped out the day before, with stops at pre-approved vendors that have been prepped for the visit - is going to come across as anything other than the staged bullshit that it is?????

[Jacobin]

47. I hope CT is proud of itself

:mad:

the man is an embarrassment.

[MUAD_DIB]

49. "Here's some worthless Iraqi money.
