- GHWB gives BHO the real deal on White House protocol - which salad fork to use
- BHO listens intently to the only guy in the room who knows exactly who should run the CIA, but only talks about salad forks
- GWB masters that "doof" look, arms dangling forward while he turns his left foot just so. awkward
- WJC masters looking Presidential at all times when a camera is present
- Nobody will stand right next to JEC, Uncle Jimmy, so he just grimaces, all frumpy in his ill-fitting suit

It ain't exactly Dogs Playing Poker, but what do you make of it?

They play poker, drink whiskey and agree that "fooling all of the people some of the time" is the best strategy.

My god, the only one of them who doesn't need permission to be in that room is GWB, and he's the one who looks most like a retarded tourist on vacation in DC.

WJC looks like he's reminiscing bout some gooood times had in that room.

I say we go box and one and man up on the black kid.

If I were standing between the two Bushes, I'd be protecting my groin, too.;)

At any point during lunch, do you think Bush Sr. said "Let's all discuss how we can keep Jr. out of jail".

Actually, Bill looks like the most poised one in that group. Of course, he's also the only one who's hands we can't see. I don't think I need a body language specialist to explain that.

Bill is the most poised in that group - Carter and GW look like buffoons and Obama and GHWB are actually talkin about the back nine at the presidential golf course.

xoB that is freaking hilarious!

Oh, and Griff, you man up on Obama-not-yo-mamma and we'll zone out the three-point set shot boyz.

Oh, xoB - one thought... Bush's bubble (W not GHWB) could also say:

[Calienda]"I can't wait till January 20th. I can haz LIQUOR! I can haz DRUNK. I can't haz pronounce big words for $hit anyway - might as well can haz some drunkification. Hehehe." <expressionless smirk waiting for applause that never comes>[/Calienda]

It's interesting that Carter and Clinton ended up standing next to each other, since they're reportedly the two out of the group who like each other the least.

OK...I have to leave for a while...bruce's post has me laughing so hard I'm going to get caught playing.

soooooo funny.

GHWB: and I just held the back of her head and wouldn't let go...
BHO: uh, Mr Bush? The microphones are on.
GWB: huhhuh, he'll never find the shrimp in the curtain rods.
WJC: dumbasses never even cleaned that couch stain. ah, mon...
JEC: I'm committing lust right now and they don't even know.

G-dub in that pic puts me in mind of when Andy Kaufman did Mighty Mouse "Heeerrrrre I come to save the dayyyyyyy."

The real conversation.

Looks like a bank robbery in progress. In a way I guess it is/was.
