* is still wearing that stupid fucking jacket

[El Supremo]

Former President George W. Bush visited Elliott's Hardware on Maple Avenue in Dallas on Saturday, signed autographs and posed for photos with employees.

1. Maybe it's made of ballistic nylon?

:dunce:

[Lars39]

2. You'd think stuff like that would have been hustled off to his library already.

[niyad]

3. I guess his delusions are deeper than we thought

[sarge43]

7. He's just never emotionally matured beyond 12 years old. n/t

[Richardo]

4. Looks like a security camera screen capture

Did the woman on the right catch him shoplifting?

[Spazito]

5. Geez, I guess he thinks if he wears that jacket people will think....

he is still the President. Beyond pathetic.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

My God! Look at the ctowds!

Almost looks like an Obama rally.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

6. Actually that reminds me so much of...certain people in my HS in their FFA jackets.

It was a daily battle to surpress the urge to slap these people back to a sense of dignity.

8. Bush confirms his Lack of Common Sense....he is a crowd whore

[tularetom]

19. LOL - My sister had one of those jackets

It had patches all over it and her name embroidered over her right boob. She wouldn't wear the silly thing anywhere near actual farm animals because she might get it dirty.

[alphafemale]

26. Now that's funny.

:rofl:

[marylanddem]

9. The expression on that woman's face is intriguing.

10. Down at the bottom of the article is the best part

It says a Boy Scout troop was in the area (of the store or of his house, it did not say) picking up donations of food for a community service project. It says the Bushes posed for pictures with the Scouts (which will scar them for life, unfortunately), but no mention was made if Shrub or Pickles gave the Scouts any food for their project.

11. He must have "43" tattooed somewhere on his person.

The $64,000 question is, where?

[Neecy]

12. I saw the video of this today

And my first thought was that he's STILL playing dress-up with that fucking jacket.

[malaise]

13. I bet he's missing all that power

I also bet he saw Pres Obama shopping in public in Ottawa.

[Botany]

14. He never should have seen the movie Independence day

[lunatica]

22. this photo makes me think he just choked the blood out of the only head that might work

Now I'm gonna go scrub my brain with X-14 until it stops hurting.

[pacalo]

15. Poor little monstrosity needed a little TLC & attention after some reality set in.

And just in case anyone forgot that he's the former preznit, he wore a labeled jacket with his name on it.

[DCKit]

17. Just like Sally Field from "Soapdish"....

visiting the Jersey malls for the attention.

Pathetic.

[pacalo]

20. Very transparent, isn't it. And so pathetic.

The fact that he wore that "official" jacket clearly shows his intention. If he had thrown on just anything, it would have looked more like a "I think I'll go to the hardware store to pick up some screws that'll fit" type of visit.

[rainbow4321]

16. Notice they don't show any of the shoppers meeting him with open arms and smiles

The store is deep, deep, DEEP in the 'hood...so what we get is a pic of chimp surrounded by his security detail. No happy, excited customers greeting him, asking for hugs or autographs.

So while the pic looks real good around the country, great photo op..locals know better.
The place is a few blocks from where I work. Trust me, the community there wants nothing to do with his ass.

[hisownpetard]

18. He *has to* wear that jacket: it matches his boots, his socks and his pocket protecter.

What a joke that jerk is!!

[Frank Cannon]

21. The jacket helps the local drunk tank authorities easily identify him...

when he's found sleeping in the gutter again.

I suspect that's been its sole purpose all along.

[Octafish]

23. So he declined the job?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7904222.stm

It would've been the first day of real work in his entire life.

[pacalo]

24. Hahaaa! Excellent!

[pacalo]

25. Octafish...

Please, please post this as an OP!

[Octafish]

28. Thanks, pacalo!

Fun during late winter:

30. It saves the hardware manager from having to post these all over the store...

[Arugula Latte]

27. I wonder if he's wearing the presidential seal socks featured here:

Socks 'n' Crocs ... It's his "Little Caitlin Goes to Prep School" look.

[Captain Hilts]

29. Why not? He has a right to. And I'll bet the folks liked seeing it. nt
