[diamond14]

Do you think that arrogant bush* has overdone the Public Relations crap in Crawford?? I can't imagine that these local Crawford people would be happy about this.....what do you think?

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah (C) describes how much food he had just eaten on the ranch of U.S. President George W. Bush, as he politely declined to eat more at the Coffee Station restaurant owned by Dorothy (L) and Nick Spanos in Crawford, Texas, April 25, 2005. President Bush hosted the Crown Prince on his Crawford ranch where they discussed the Saudi kingdom's efforts to fight terrorism and seek its help in countering the economic threat posed by record oil prices.

1. What's with the cardboard cutouts of * & his mom

in the first photo?

The woman on the sidewalk looks perplexed and the Saudi bodyguards look pissed off. Weirder and weirder.

[tanyev]

6. Those cardboard cutouts are just begging

for someone with a sharpie to pay a visit to that coffee shop.

[CottonBear]

8. How about a little Hitler mustache for *

and for Barb...? Any ideas.

Anyone in Crawford willing to risk arrest to do some creative art with a Sharpie? What do you wanna bet that the Secret Service stakes out that entire town? I wonder if * will sell the "ranch" when he leaves office or if he will hide out there for the rest of his sorry life?

2. Like the Clown Prince, the Crown Prince is just one of us regular guys.

The guy's country owns 9% of the US and he's walking out with a bag of chips. I feel like I've known him all of my life.

[elehhhhna]

25. "No thx on the meal--I'm not hungry... but I'll take those chips"? Rude!

[liberal N proud]

3. Come, We will get something to eat at the airport!

Did bu$h not feed the prince?
"picking up some snacks on his way out of town"

[bushisanidiot]

4. Wonder how many of the 9/11 Saudi hijackers AWOL Bush's friend

knew..

I also wonder how many of them AWOL Bush himself knew. As much as he likes to party with and suck up to $audi money, I'm sure he had every opportunity to meet with them.

[Double T]

5. I Just Love American Junk Food Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm

[smoogatz]

7. Bushco gets more and more surreal.

Wonder what Joe Buttcrack out there in the Red States thinks of our Fearless Leader holding hands with a damn A-rab? That wet, thwopping sound you hear? Wingnuts' heads exploding.

[diamond14]

14. ewww ... how'd you like a creepy old guy in a dress KISSING your daughter?

IMO, bush* overstretched on this Public Relations ploy....red-state Crawford just isn't ready for this yet..... the arrogance of the bushites will take them down....bush* is in the process of self-destructing.....

I'm certain that those red-state locals never saw anything quite like that Saudi Prince and his unfriendly bodyguards, sporting heavy military outfits.....even bush* tries to keep the SS/military in lower profile positions, while visiting the local Crawford coffee shop....

[Cats Against Frist]

21. Surreal is the only word for it

That picture with the Crawford locals, the Saudis and the cardboard Babs & Bushler -- totally fucking surreal.

[FreedomAngel82]

22. It's like

a weird Twilight Zone place.

[masshole]

9. It's nice the Prince meets with his subjects

I wish he'd visit this part of his Kingdom more often.

[Fridays Child]

10. Hmm...that looks like a "Big Grab" bag of fried pork rinds.

[JHB]

18. Just what I was thinking...

...Aren't pork rinds a "no-no" for Muslims? Is the Prince inciting opposition to his regime on W's "home" turf?

[LibDemAlways]

11. Those cutouts are unbelievable.

Imagine trying to keep a meal down while looking at those? I can't.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Is that Barbara Bush in the background in the first pic?

She looks awful wooden.

[CottonBear]

13. LOL!

:rofl: at the absurdity of the whole event/photo op.

I'm torn between laughter and tears.

[diamond14]

16. it's all truly bizarre....bush* has lost all touch with reality....

imagine that MADNESS that thought this stuff up !!!!

it is truly absurd....such Public Relations will sour the entire town of Crawford against bush*....real fast....


watching bush* self-destruct...spiralling downward in madness

:rofl:

[Roland99]

15. She's just keeping a stiff upper lip

[Straight Shooter]

17. Wow, that bodyguard takes his job very, very seriously.

Probably thinking, "Get me the hell out of this hole."

[seabeyond]

19. these pictures feel so weird to me n/t

[diamond14]

20. yes... very very strange things going on in Crawford ....

this type of Public Relations must just irritate bush* Crawford people....

[Walt Starr]

23. "How much for the leetle girl"

"Your women, I want to buy your women."

He's on a mission from gawd.

</Blues Brothers Reference>

[Chrisishere]

24. I wonder

How the Texans would feel if the Prince knelt down and put those Muslim lips on a little boy...I mean, I'm sure in Texas slobbering on little girls is still tolerated if not outright encouraged... but little boys? Keep that crap in the Catholic church where it belongs!

[BringEmOn]

26. Those lips more than likely were on the boy king.

or vice versa

[newyawker99]

[earth mom]
