1. A douchebag for liberty...

if I ever did see one.

8. I disagree.

A douchebag performs a useful function. Smirky McDogshit does not. Besides, he's just wondering why the hose is disconnected.

16. OK,a USELESS douchebag for liberty !!!!

:hi:

2. The other guys look really disturbed

Bush just looks confused.

4. It must be a hell of a shock

When you come to realize your boss is such a total and useless idiot.

3. For those of us ignorant of such matters..

[stevedeshazer]

5. Looks like he is playing "Battleship"

[bpilgrim]

9. looks like a carrier flight deck model

with planes on-deck location... don't ask me what the chimp is doing, he's probably trying to figure the bow from the stern :crazy:

13. Well, they're in CIC on the USS Abraham Lincoln and it looks like

... they're reviewing flight deck operations. It looks to me like the model under his index finger represents a helicopter, possibly Marine One.

21. Good point. That's what an old semi-Coastie like me calls it.

On a carrier, it's Primary Flight Control:
Also known as “Pri-Fly”, Primary Flight Control is the center from which all flight deck operations are directed. It is home to the “air boss”, who controls takeoffs, landings and the movement of planes on the flight deck and in the air around the ship.

It's located in the Island. IIRC, CIC is below on a carrier.

My only experience on military ships is Coast Guard ... and the CIC was really the only command center they had as I recall.

6. :cry: The picture won't load for me. What's he doing? n/t

[phaseolus]

7. right-click on the broken pic and "view image"

he's wearing another spiffy commander-in-chief military jacket, Navy this time, and playing air traffic controller or something on an aircraft carrier.

Can you imagine how the freepers would howl if a Democratic president wore all those military "commander in chief" windbreakers???

10. They don't let him play with the real planes

11. What's that red mark on his forehead?

Another blackout scrape?

[bpilgrim]

15. Trying to make * look smart is like putting lipstick on a pig to make it

more attractive.

18. The guy on the left looks like he smells something.

I'm surprised the men aren't a little more upbeat. It's not that often the Pres shows up (dropped in while cruising the waterfront).

19. "Finger", yes sir thats your finger.

[idiosyncratic]

20. The red-faced guy in the back looks like he is in shock

He says, "I can't believe I voted for him. Do over."

[stevedeshazer]

22. LOL!

Nice.
