Why does Dimson's truck have yellow emergency lights?


For christ's sake, he's never allowed to drive on a regular road or highway. What the fuck does he need a truck with emergency lights for? So they can find him in that thick Texas brush when he gets lost?

Did I tell you how much I can't stand this guy today?

2. Compensation
Big truck = little dick. I think all the "cool" extras on his truck are just extra compensation for his teeny weenie. Does he wear a big belt buckle too?

5. A sign that said "RETARDED DRIVER - WATCH OUT" would have been overkill
Dubya's handlers probably figured the flashing emergency lights would be a subtle tip-off to other drivers that they should be careful about getting too close.

6. Those are marker lights.
I will bet you that there is a 5th wheel in the bed of that truck, for towing trailers.

As if that thing has ever towed a trailer.

7. Good Lord...they're not emergency lights.
They're marker lights because it's a large truck, and whoever does the real work there at Rancho Chimp might drive at night with a trailer. I'm guessing those lights HAVE to be there.

8. Sorry, that truck, just like Dimson
has never seen a day of real work in its life.

10. Sort of like that bicycle
that he supposedly rides all over the place, that no one has every seen him riding on anything other then a flat surface.

15. Strong and likable...
a man of character.

I read the confusing poll results showing two-thirds of the respondents agreed that he was "strong and likable, a man of character" while the same pool has the majority stating he is lying about Iraq, dishonest, and arrogant.

I truly can't stand this guy any day, much less today.

Nice touch with the boots!

16. Why does he need marker lights for towing when he has no livestock
to tow (horse or cattle trailer) or any need to tow a flatbed trailer for hauling hay (again, no livestock therefore no hay needed)?

Another thing, what do these foreign heads of state think about having to ride around in the back seat of Dimson's pickup truck? He put the King and Queen of Spain in there and drove them around that godforsaken, brush covered pig farm.

28. Well, the Spanish royals could take it, I'm sure,
since they're pretty "normal" for royals. They also have very good manners, so they wouldn't comment on the fact that the Bush "ranch" isn't like any ranch they've ever seen.

But it's a crappy way to treat company.

29. I agree. The Spanish Royal couple are admirable and King Juan Carlos
contributed greatly to the restoration of democracy and civil law in Spain during the post-Franco era. He is an interesting historical figure.

Still, it's pretty crappy to be taken to some remote, scrubby faux ranch in the middle of nowhere Texas only to be driven around by * in a big truck looking at what? Brush? Geez. :( The King's daughter, Infanta Elena, actually rides horses and competes at very high levels in the jumpers. She has more courage in her little pinky than * does in his whole being.

17. They let him have a work truck
so he can pretend to work, just like he does when he's the President. But then you know, it's hard work to pretend.

19. That is, ironically, a work truck.
It looks like it's never seen any real work. When my daughter was taking horseback riding lessons, her instructor drove a truck just like that and he hauled horses in a horse trailer behind it. It was very dinged up and dirty most of the time because it......was used for WORK.

LOL.

21. He has his "special lights" so that the Secret Service can easily
find him. That is quite a spread he's got down there in Texas, ya know.

What a fucking buffoon. Doesn't he realize what a joke he is??

I despise that excuse for a human being.

22. That dashboard is too clean for a ranch vehicle
Shouldn't the dude, at least, have a couple of PDBs up there?

I'm just saying...

24. It's so he can warn other drivers that he's lit up
He could get a DUI conviction just from that expression on his face! Any cop who stopped him would give him a sobriety test without a second thought...
