OH Snappp Son!

PWN3D

Herr Olbermann is so GHEY.

I would've thrown a tomato.

Sure, it's an instant ticket to Gitmo, but it's worth it.

He wasn't waving; those were spirit fingers.

Buck Fush!

/really not feeling creative today.

They were cardboard cutouts.

That's all they can get these days.

At least they didn't flip him off, so he's got that going for him.

More bitter people because they were wrong and Bush was right.

I would have casually flipped him off

CheddarPants: At least they didn't flip him off, so he's got that going for him.

Yeah, I would have done that and started yelling the truth at him.

I don't know if that was the right action. He may be corrupt, inept, and a warmonger, but he is still the elected president of the country. One should always wave back if one is waved to. Seems a bit harsh not to wave back. In the end, it solved nothing and probably just reaffirmed what Bush thinks about "little people."

I think they just look like asshats. The man, for better or worse, is the president. Common courtesy says you at least return the greeting.

I think they were just too stunned that guy is still potus.

mr_a: I think they just look like asshats. The man, for better or worse, is the president. Common courtesy says you at least return the greeting.

I agree with you except it doesn't make for interesting video so I'm glad it was them and not me in this case.

mr_a: I think they just look like asshats. The man, for better or worse, is the president. Common courtesy says you at least return the greeting.

Common courtesy is reserved for strangers that you do not know anything about so you give the benefit of the doubt to, and acquaintances that you have respect for. Bush does not fall into either category.

keiverarrow: I would have casually flipped him off

And then you would get a "visit" from some men in black suits and probably shipped to Gitmo.

GAT_00: Yeah, I would have done that and started yelling the truth at him.

I wish I was a slave; I would fark somebody up! Sh*t..tell me to bale some motherf*cking cotton! I would have been on the street and shiat.. He would came up and say ey yo n*gga bale this cotton? I'd say suck my dick master. Suck my motherf*cking dick.

AuntofDogface: keiverarrow: I would have casually flipped him off

No, no. You would then say that's how the young people of today say 'You're #1!' He would completely fall for that.

A bit harsh to not wave back? Dude's invaded the wrong country, led the military to the deaths of 4,000+ servicemen, let an American city drown while he stayed on vacation and then jetted to a birthday party/fundraiser for John McCain, and had led an economy to more job losses than any president since Hoover.

But it's harsh not to wave? I would have TOTALLY flipped him off. Both hands.

mr_a: I think they just look like asshats. The man, for better or worse, is the president. Common courtesy says you at least return the greeting.

I disagree, Bush has always seemed to regard himself as in touch with the man in the street, is there any better way to show him that he is no longer in touch by simply snubbing him. It's not like the mooned him while pissing on Old Glory is it?

It looks like they have their backs turned.

Billions missing in Iraq. (new window)

So they don't wave... Bush clearly has the last laugh.

rockhound: It looks like they have their backs turned.

What I came in to say.

The guy on our right clearly has his left hand across his midsection. So unless he has some very unusual postures -he is most certainly facing the president's helicopter.

What no middle finger from the two dudes? Golden opportunity missed, I say.

GAT_00: CheddarPants: At least they didn't flip him off, so he's got that going for him.

Yeah, I would have done that and started yelling the truth at him.

The truth? Are you an evangelist of some kind now?

Shunning Bush actually seems like a very appropriate response for all the damage he has caused.

SockMonkeyHolocaust: More bitter people because they were wrong and Bush was right.

Bush was RIGHT!

Personally, I'd be afraid to make any sudden gestures in his presence.

keiverarrow et al: I would have casually flipped him off

It would be far more polite, and yet telling, to simply turn your back.

That George Bush never fails to be a source of amusement. Lets give him a slot after Letterman.

It would really help the political discourse in this country for people to get back to having common respect. He is the President of the United States. Every president has ordered actions (or failed to order actions in the case of Jimmy Carter) that citizens disagree with. Clinton ordered a military strike during the Lewinsky scandal, Bush 41 had "Read my lips", Reagan had Iran-Contra, Carter failed to do anything about the hostages, Ford fell down a lot, Nixon ordered his men to break into The Watergate, Johnson increased our presence in Vietnam, Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs, etc, etc.

The key is for us to, as a whole, make the right decisions. Right now, the partisan divide keeps the government from doing anything, and so the corruption increases, our roads don't get maintained, and yet taxes keep rising.

I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President".

I wouldn't have waved but flipping off the president seems...."wrong".

But I think that's the ex military in me talking.

/I know I set myself up for a joke there

This one is also pretty funny, if not nearly as painfully embarrassing for the songwriter.

Damba: I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President".

Me too. The sooner I stop seeing Dubya and start seeing a president again, the better.

That was like Governor Lepetomane greeting the fake townsfolk.

Damba: I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President".

As soon as he starts acting like a leader who is supposed to take care of his people and not his inner circle of business buddies, then yeah...i'll get back to calling him "The President". For now he's "Goofy Douche"

OK, truth be told, that was quite funny.

THAT is patriotism in action.

Which one of these approaches the farkup level of Iraq? None, I'd say. Bush is unique in that--he's a god among men when it comes to creating catastrophes.

Wait, what? There was little partisan division when Republicans controlled Congress and the Oval Office. They did whatever they wanted....which was start wars, give tax breaks to the rich, run up massive spending deficits, allowing 9/11 to happen, etc.

We're better off in gridlock.

I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President

I would like for them to not be the same person. Just a few more months....

unlikely: Me too. The sooner I stop seeing Dubya and start seeing a president again, the better.

I see what you did there.

I respect the office. He obviously does not; he views it as a joke, as his own personal profiteering racket, as a complete absolution from responsibility. I wish that he would stop making a complete mockery of the dignity of the office and would instead respect it and the country that it at one point represented.

I wouldn't have flipped him off, but I would have turned my back.

When you guys vote someone in who respects the Office of the President, I will be content to do the same.

/ That said, it's been 7.5 years now. I'm not holding my breath.

Harsh? Really?

FTFY.

He still works for you. You owe him nothing.

Damba: I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President".

Yeah, I've heard the argument that we should respect the office before. I don't buy it.

I don't even care that he's Republican, in a few years when the small government conservatives hold sway again it won't even be a dirty word anymore.

But for this specific man? After all his lies and abuses, there's no need to accord him any respect at all. I respect the office as much as its current occupant deserves, and the respect Bush deserves is nil.

Damba: I would like people to cease seeing "Dubya" and get back to seeing "The President".

As soon as that disgrace leaves office, we will.

Would a good mooning be out of bounds?

People that quote entire comments of trolls and idiots such as SW and RAR negate the effectiveness of the ignore feature.

Bet those guys somehow ended up as wanted terrorists and are now being "interrogated".

Common respect? Are you stoned or stupid? He is a common criminal. He does not deserve respect.
