Sure. Today he dresses like a Somalian. Tomorrow he’ll be ramming Air Force One into the Sears Tower. Is it likely to happen? Probably not. Did I just shit my pants for no reason? Kinda. Can America afford to take the risk I’m right? Hell no!
At least Bush isn’t a homosexual crackhead, unlike some candidates I could name.
(Well, okay, maybe he was a homosexual COKEhead back in the ’70s. But he isn’t anymore. Crack’s way more dangerous, that’s why you get 100 times the prison term for it. It’s called “Keeping Our Streets Safe from Predominantly-Non-Caucasian-Abused Drugs.” It’s worked out well for America so far. The last thing we need is a crackhead President fucking it up.)

Not to mention that he may well have sent the profits from his homosexual drug abuse to the madrassas. Why hasn’t anyone looked into that yet? The liberal media’s giving Barack Osama a pass, once again.
It’s no coincidence that B. Hussein Osama was educated in a madrassa. Madrassas are where homosexual ex-Boy Scout troop leaders often find themselves, talking up the lifestyle of sodomy and drug addiction as they indoctrinate impressionable youg minds into the ways of radical Islamist extremism.

More of a tradition, actually. The asian summit meeting has a tradition where on the last day the members wear traditional dress of the host nation for a photo-op. There’s a picture of Bush standing next to (I think) Hu Jintao in traditional God-Hating Communist Chinese dress somewhere and the whole lot of them dressed up like vaqueros when they visited Mexico.

I like the way Obama addressed that whole photo issue today:

I think that’s fair to say. Do I think it’s reflective of Sen. Clinton’s approach to campaigning? Probably not.”
I like it — he’s not wallowing in the gutter, but he’s also letting the Clinton campaign know that he doesn’t trust them as far as he can throw them.

Whoa, G. Gourdon shows off his sour grapes.

Where were you when we had daily discussions of the size, shape and “distinguishing characteristics” of Billy’s club?
BTW – I always wanted one that was “distinguished”

If she’s really a woman? Why would that matter?
SEXIST!!

Follow Sam Kinison’s advice and roll ’em over.
Suddenly you’ll be HUGE!

Apparently these lines are from a warmup speech at a McCain rally.
Has this been noted, posted about yet?
Discuss.

So McCain is plagiarizing Hillary now?

ThymeZone, they seem to be from Bill Cunningham’s radio show. Media Matters reported on it back in January.
He did introduce McCain at a rally and in the introduction speech he used Obama’s middle name repeatedly. McCain did apologize, but he probably should vet those how introduce him a bit better of their hatred will spill over on him…
ThymeZone
Ah, well, McCain probably thinks that he can employ the tried and true GOP noise machine to do this dirty work for him, while he appears to be above it all.
I think the country is ready to move on from that. I predict that this kind of smear stuff will backfire.
I can’t lower my McCain vote total prediction for November any further than the 35% I have him at now.
Or, can I?
PeterJ
After McCain apologized, Cunningham withdrew his support. He now says he’ll support Clinton…
Personally I don’t care about this, as long as it won’t happen again. McCain apologized and he apologized fast. Compare it with how Clinton handled something like this.
Also, I wonder what Limbaugh thinks…

What gets me is he was reported to be a fighter pilot in training at one point, well, until the coke caught up with him and he was grounded… but in any event, he should have instinctively known to loosen the straps before getting out of the cockpit (no pun intended). Note that no others standing around on the deck deign to look like total pilot-dorks. It’s not the icky fake manliness thing that gets me, it’s that he’s dumb enough to intentionally look like such a loser doofus.

You go to war with the statistics you have, not that you wish you had.

Hey, that’s not fair. You have to measure testicular weight.
I’ll put my money on Hillary in that case.

Yes, indeed, Bush will put on the cloth of any country that puts money into his pocket.
Viet Nam is just one of the many.
It is a pity, given our long history of “involvement” with Viet Nam, the huge numbers of Vietnamese immigrants who have come here (as a direct consequence of that “involvement”), that you could characterize the “ao dai” as “girly clothes”.
Those “girly clothes” are the ceremonial dress of the MEN (and women) who whipped American ass, back in the day. On the battlefield…
And who are now successfully competing economically with us.
That’s Viet Nam today.
You gotta see it to believe it.

Ok, to start saying Bush looks like a girl is an insult to girls.
Yay! The Republicans are going to Tora Bora! I won’t have to call them chicken hawks, anymore!
zsa
wobbly, I got married in those girly clothes.
Course, that’s a different day and a different battlefield.
Are you in VN now?

All they need are pointy cone shaped hats and they can play sorcerers apprentences as like MERLIN THE MAGICIAN like in SWORD IN THE STONE
