CRAWFORD, Texas - A relaxed President Bush welcomed NATO's top diplomat to his ranch Sunday for talks to be dominated by the surging violence in Afghanistan.

Bush and first lady Laura Bush greeted Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and his wife, Jeannine, in late afternoon sunshine after the guests arrived by helicopter.

"A little slice of heaven," Bush said of his 1,600-acre getaway from Washington.

The president, in blue jeans and cowboy boats, then climbed in his extended-cab pickup truck and drove drove the couples to the Bushes' house down the road — men in the front seat, women in the back seat.

[DS1]

1. This better be the last backwoods yokel dipshit desert fuck we ever even

consider running for Prez

[Wiley50]

19. But he's just a FAKE "backwoods yokel dipshit desert fuck"

CT-raised, Andover, Yale, from a megawealthy family

He ain't no cowboy
He just stole the boots

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

2. So many things wrong with this that I'm having difficulty finding a starting point.

The jeans, Laura's sunglasses, the wierd posturing and posing or the fact that Bush is just enjoying life while the men and women who live or have been sent to Iraq are slaughtered.

So many things. MK

[karlrschneider]

3. Okay, you wimmin get in the back.

:eyes:

1600 acres sounds like a lot but it's about 1.5 x 1.5 miles. BFD.
:grr:

[napi21]

8. Yea well, it's 1,600+ times bigger than my yard! If I had even half of that, I'd

at least have a few head of cattle and some chickens! Ya can't trust that Shrub FDA with their food inspections anymore!

[Benhurst]

11. It would be a lot where I grew up in the Midwest. But in Texas

it's just a little pig farm.

[karlrschneider]

12. Yeah, I meant for a "ranch". That's small even for Oklahoma let alone Tex-ass.

:D

[MuseRider]

21. Still true.

I call my place a ranch with a wink. I do at least keep animals on my little place.

[napi21]

4. Little piece of heaven my butt! Everything I've heard says they're abandoning

that "ranch" shortly after he leaves office! It's just another movie prop for a fake presidency!

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. And I bet he drives like an asshole....

because he's an asshole. Wonder if he screamed "wahoooo!!!" as he burnt rubber.

[napi21]

9. I was thinking that samae thing! "And they LET him drive too!" n/t

[StarryNite]

26. The real steering wheel is

probably on the other side of the cab.

[Jim__]

6. Welcome to my ranch prop. = n/t

[Neecy]

7. aren't there penalties for driving drunk in Texas?

[napi21]

10. Only if you get caught! n/t

[Canuckistanian]

13. It only became 'a slice of heaven' after they removed the pigshit

Now there's only a less obvious stench....

[SalmonChantedEvening]

14. More like a little slice of bacon n/t

[DemGa]

15. Aww, he's got his little cowboy costume on

:puke:

[wordpix]

16. #***$$$@#! prick flying around on my tax dollar when he could be helping out

How about the wounded war vets and families of dead soldiers? Have you ever given a dime, rich dipshit? :puke:

[City Lights]

17. If that's heaven, I'm gonna do all I can to go to hell.

:evilgrin:

on edit - OMG, he's wearing that ranch shirt again. That's either the only shirt he keeps down there, or he's got a whole closet full of the same shirt.

[Lisa]

30. just like Little Orphan Annie! Or a movie wardrobe department, more like it

I bet all his socks are the same color too, so he won't accidentally walk out wearing mismatched ones. My guess is that he also has a couple of different "workin' man" costume shirt designs (an artfully-dirtied T-shirt, and a long-sleeved number with the sleeves carefully rolled up and pinned in place, to make it look like he's doing "hard work").

[AndyA]

18. What's with the dirty tires?

The truck looks clean, could they not have done the tires as well?

What an embarrassment this man is. To the United States. To the human race.


"Yeah, they say I'm more irrelevant every day. But I'm still the President, so fuck you if you don't like it. I don't give a shit about what you think."

[MuseRider]

22. A "rancher" with a clean, white pick-up

is suspect around here. I'll bet he only has 20 miles or so on that big ass truck.

[Billy Burnett]

20. Gotta love *'s ignoring the sidewalk. "They're for peons. I walk where I want to"

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

23. i feel sorry for Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and his wife, Jeannine

they must feel like they're entering the twilight zone.

[Lisa]

31. Twilight Zone is right -- the episode with the spoiled little boy ...

... who deals with people who disagree with him, by sending them to "the cornfield".

[MotorCityMan]

24. I see Laura was right

the suffering is evident on *'s face

[tabasco]

25. Yes, the poor man is obviously under a heavy burden.

Maybe he will do a "looking for the WMD in Crawford" skit to entertain the visitors and relieve the stress.

[CatWoman]

27. notice how he always has to be the one in front?

[Kadie]

29. I know.

One of the pictures that I didn't post had a caption that * was walking 'with' the rest of the group. I am screaming at my computer... "no he isn't! he never walks 'with' anyone!"



:grr:

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Maybe Ford will recall the truck for a loose nut behind the wheel.
