Won't someone think of the children?

Where was this picture taken? Was it a fuck-up, or was it done intentionally on his part to be funny? 'Cause if I were POTUS, I would do some funny stuff like that around kids.

Image of Clinton with photoshopped book

It's 'funny' how you need to photoshop an image to make fun of Clinton, whilst Bush's photo doesn't require any intervention to be ridiculed.

Mind you, Bush's a lot smarter than people give him credit for. But then he goes and does something like <a href="http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/images/foolbush.mpg">this</a> (<a href="http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/images/bushfool.wmv">WMV</a> <a href="http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/images/foolbush.mov">QT</a> <a href="http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/images/bushfool.rm">Real</a>).

I'll agree with you on both counts there.. that video clip is pretty funny; I'm surprised I hadn't heard of that before.

I'm sure many of you read the Onion regularly.. the second quote from this week's "what do you think?" had me rolling:

Last week, Saddam Hussein agreed to U.N. weapons inspections in Iraq, but President Bush dismissed the offer as a cynical ploy. What do you think?

"I'd feel a lot better about the president's handling of this global nuclear brinksmanship if he could actually pronounce the word <I>nuclear</I>."

At a party one night, a friend of mine was pulling cans from an 18-pack in the fridge. By the time she pulled out the third one, she exclaimed, "Wow! They must have packaged this entire case upside-down."
uhhh, yea. It took her about another beer or two to realize what was going on.

That reminds me of the time a friend of mine skidded her car in the rain and ran into a concrete barrier. Only cosmetic damage to the car, 'cept the fender was bent in so far that she couldn't turn the wheels.

So she called AAA, and they sent a wrecker out. We decided that we should try to bend the fender back out using the wrecker's tow chain.

So the guy hooks one end of the chain to his truck (which he parked about ten feet away from her car), then goes to hook the other end to the fender, but the chain didn't reach by about a foot. So he exclaims in dimsay, "oh no, the chain's too short; guess we'll have to try something else."

Oops, it appears I wrote misleading information about the POTUS. I wonder what GW would think at this moment, possibly...

"You fucking son of a bitch. I saw what you wrote. We're not going to forget this." (1988)

or maybe

"You know I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office." (1989)
