Haha

Their wedding cake looks lopsided.

Why? Is she running for president?

Isn't that the table the White Witch slaughtered Aslan on?

/preposition'd!!

He just had too much blow and Pizza Hut at the reception.

Dear Hillary Clinton and/or John McCain:



Love,

Most of the rest of America.

So, for Jenna's wedding we get a headline for Obama? Okay....

/That cake does look lopsided.

For apparently now-forgotten reasons, I would prefer that religious leaders of all varieties refrained from endorsing political candidates.

I don't see the awkwardness at all.

A minister's political opinions shouldn't be entering into whether or not he's willing to perform a marriage ceremony.

A politician shouldn't have to surround himself by like-minded cronies even at church.

not elitists

Party pooper.

That's just uppity.

youtube or gtfo

it's the new politics

how much you wanna bet she has a bun in the oven?

I really don't understand why this is meaningful or important. So, President Bush's family selected someone to officiate their wedding whose political values aren't 100% in line with their own? So the hell what? Seriously.

Cake is definitely lopsided.

The Methodist Church has been trying to disavow Bush for years. Didn't they just recently overwhelmingly vote to refuse to allow his library to be at SMU?

This just in: McCain's coworker's daughter's ex-boyfriend's roommate's father's mother-in-law endorses Obama.

TAKE THAT, REPUBLICANS!

Also




The natural resemblance of Jenna to George might haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life.

kevinatilusa: ...A politician shouldn't have to surround himself by like-minded cronies even at church.

The issue is that Bush does. It's why he's consistently fired individuals who were not considered "loyal Bushies." (his term)

Meanwhile Chelsea lives the liberal woman's dream life as a working girl.

This sure is going to be embarrassing to the Republican Party unless they somehow aren't four year old children with no real sense of perspective.

WFern: The issue is that Bush does

At church?

The Methodist Church is actually pretty liberal-ish, particular compared to the average Bush-supporting fundie. Like I said, SMU even refused to host his library.

Let me handle this, Craven...

*ahem* kevinatilusa, no a politician shouldn't behave that way, but for the last 8 years, Bush has shown a level of cronyism that is shocking even by Washington standards. Therefore, its somewhat amusing that the person marrying his child is not only not a republican but endorsing the more liberal of the two democratic candidates. I suppose this might be a sign of Bush showing that he doesn't give a tin shiat any more. All he has to do is phone in the next 7 months and he's gone. And he has enough loyal followers still, to keep him going in speaking engagements etc. for a while.

Personally, I'd like to know the political affiliation of the person responsible for that lopsided cake.

/not really

According to TFA, Bush has been friendly with the pastor for years.

If we were talking about an actual Bush appointee endorsing Obama, sure, that would be noteworthy. But a guy that Bush knows in an entirely apolitical context? Besides, it's more than a little presumptuous to assume that Bush picked the pastor. He doesn't really strike me as the kind of dad who'd micro-manage his daughter's wedding.

Though I agree he's fully in lame duck, just-show-up-in-the-morning mode. I don't know if he'll be doing many speaking engagements, though. I'd bet he's looking forward to a post-Presidency out of the public eye.

It's news becuase they've never hired anyone like that before.

The cake is a lie.

I guess I get that. It still seems like the definition of trivial, though.

It is delicious cake. We must...

er...

I mean....



...oh, goddammit.

*takes seat over there*

Did our tax dollars pay for the photography at the wedding? Did they not hire a non-White House photographer to do the photography?

As the pastor of a church, isn't the Rev specifically forbidden from endorsing a candidate? Is his church not a 501(c)3?

Relatively Obscure: The natural resemblance of Jenna to George might haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life.

For real. I'd really have to love George W. Bush, in a fanboy kind of way, to get into it.

But don't you understand?!? This man performed the ceremony that married his daughter! Bush's policies MUST have been influenced by him! Bush must secretly be a democrat!

/...at least, that's what I learned from the whole Reverend Wright circus...

Any Pie Left: The cake is a lie.

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here, "huge success".

Malbar: "His political views are 100% irrelevant to the service he performed."

Of course you are correct. However, it's funny how the rules change when Rev. Wright is the subject.

/farking hypocrites

This would only be awkward if it was Chelsea Clinton's wedding. -2, subby.

Most of you seem to be abused with the notion George Bush gives a flying fark what happens after his term is up. He doesn't.

Ha! You're right, man. I'll get over it.

I know Bush isn't running for president (October surprise not withstanding), but this is still pretty funny.

FTFY

hah she wore white.

also her twin sister looks really messed up in every pic.

Yeah, I don't see this as particularly awkward. Maybe Chelsea's wedding, but even that's stretching it.

Now find the pastor that did Bill and Hilary's wedding and have him endorse Obama, and we MIGHT have a story. MIGHT.

Fair_Poopsmith: Isn't that the table the White Witch slaughtered Aslan on?

and...HOW!

/apologies to Prince Caspian

muck4doo: So, for Jenna's wedding we get a headline for Obama? Okay....

Actually, we already had a thread for the wedding itself earlier today.

depmode98: Most of you seem to be abused with the notion George Bush gives a flying fark what happens after his term is up. He doesn't.

Yeah. He'll have set the right conditions for Jesus to come back by then and have been Raptured with the rest of the Faithful^TM.

Why would anyone surprised? Black people are going to vote for Obama. That has been proven in the primaries already. They are voting skin color.

If white people do that then Obama doesn't have a chance. Hillary told me that white people like her better too.

I think it's just funny that Bush couldn't even find a politically-like-minded PASTOR to marry his daughter.

What it also makes me think is that Bush is not so strong in his faith as we're lead to think.

MeinRS6: Why would anyone surprised? Black people are going to vote for Obama. That has been proven in the primaries already. They are voting skin color.

This argument would hold water except that late last year, Clinton had 80% of the black vote. After she and Bill started race baiting, they pissed off their black constituency and Obama now gets 90+% of the black vote. They aren't voting skin color. They are voting for the candidate they think respects them and their experience. Many of us white folks are doing the same thing and voting for Obama.
