PHOTO: Bush "comforts" Boy Scouts at Jamboree...
Edited on Sun Jul-31-05 10:33 PM by Bluebear


So read the headlines. This is after military recruiters taught the Scouts to chant "OO-rah" and the Army brought in their "sightseeing" hot-air balloon.

1. Un-fucking-believable.
Don't be surprised if recruiting stations are set up next to toy stores in the very near future.

With recrutiment so low, they gotta find fresh blood somewhere.

56. I heard on the radio that "the boy scouts are the only guys in uniform
who aren't already in Iraq."

They are the only "uniformed group" chimpy has left to talk to.

2. They should have flung vomit and feces at him for refusing to show up
the first day while the scouts were dying of heat exhaustion and exposure.

if I were a Boy Scout leader (and I WAS a Boy Scout, by the way), I would have taught my troop to say "fuck you!" to that asshole and remind them that Asshole McShitHead AWOL Traitor exemplifies EVERYTHING that the Boy Scouts are against: UNthirfty, UNbrave, UNclean, UNreverant, UNtrustworthy, UNloyal, etc.

8. UN-prepared - worst trait of all for the president of the US
The man is thoroughly lazy and too UN-disciplined to have what it takes to lead the country.

20. Yeah, but you don't have to be tolerant to be a Boy Scout,
so they're covered on that one.

Though, most definitely, Shithead FuckNob is totally UNtolerant.

57. "Un-prepared"? Just another normal working day in the life of our
president.

"Daddy, when I grow up...I want to be President."
"Don't you ever say that again! Go wash your mouth out with soap!"

4. My immediate reaction...
...TELL me that's not Photoshopped."

Nothing more comforting after dropping like flies in the blistering heat than a former AWOL member of the TANG leading an Army recruitment infomercial.

OO-rah indeed.

58. Shrub's war chant during Vietnam was "Dos cervesas, por favor."
He was, after all, saving the country from an invasion from Mexico.

25. Take a look at the close-up. The people in the bottom right corner are
looking away from him. They aren't looking at him and they're right in the front. I think it's photoshopped. WH propaganda.

There were more photographs of the balloons.
The people are looking at the video screen which was showing shots of people in the crowd.

40. I KNEW that's what would happen!
When the Senate passed that crap bill to allow the Boy Scouts to have their Jamboree at Military instillations, my FIRST THOUGHT was....they are using this as a recruitment opportunity. I don't think my thought was wrong. :(

42. And in essence allowing the military to use the Scouts...
to practice their crowd-control skills on them.
Makes me wonder if Dufus not showing up was planned, just so they could
practice dealing with a lot of heat-stroke victims at once.:tinfoilhat:

43. Nope, your instinct was right on target.
You would think the parents would be outraged.
Of course, the parents are okay with the bigoted policies of the scouts, so I doubt the quasi-military attitude would bother them.

I wouldn't be surprised if the WH doctored it up to make him look the best and then released it for the press. But there it is.

33. Instead of going into the crowd
He lined up kids behind him, campaign style. When they're small, they make nice props. In a few years, they'll grow into cannon fodder.

48. Sad to think of all the hours he spends practicing
how to look human in front of a mirror and that's the best he can do.

It's got to kill him that we live in the digital age where they have no control over most of the images downloaded on the net.

You just know that any poor photographer that has to follow this chump around all the time must have it in for him.

I know I would!

I have that one saved. I wonder what the freeps thought about their fearless leader that day?

The chimp has maybe 5 standard human-like expressions that he can
produce when necessary but can never use the appropriate one for the occasion.
