Bush's Dukakis Tank moment - updated w/photo

[Neecy]

Did he look sily or what in his little military truck, driving through almost UNDAMAGED streets? And CNN had the gall to say he was 'inspecting damage'!

[Pirate Smile]

1. They need to get him where the destruction really is and that isn't

the French Quarter.

[livetohike]

2. He should put on the hip waders and do some walking

just like all of the people we watched walk through the high water while he was in AZ eating birthday cake.

[TahitiNut]

17. The cottonmouths might mistake him for a liberal.

:silly:

[Orrex]

3. I wish

Pretty much every photo ever taken of Dubya is a "Dukakis Tank Moment," but somehow the media never seem to catch on...

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. No tank pics yet

But W sure looks like he wishes he was anywhere else on the planet rather than standing with a black guy who probably hates his guts.

[onecent]

6. wow...wow....body language says it all here for sure. *b

[Frances]

11. The CONTRAST in body language

between Bush and the man with him is incredible.

[leveymg]

13. * doesn't look at all like a well man.

He's going to resign for "health reasons." Cheney's closing this week on his $3 million retirement place out on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I'm sure there's a good cardiologist out there.

This is going to be wrapped up just like the old Politburo did things.

5. Bush-"So you sure you cleared out all the n------?OK let's go then."

[KoKo]

8. What the Hell is he looking at in that picture? Or is he seeing Hell..

:eyes:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. LOL

"Anybody else smell somethin' burnin'?"

[KC21304]

14. Exactly. Chickenhawkshit couldn't go near the place

when there was anyone there except the participants in the photo op.

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Let's see the Pix. This could be a classic if it's like the Duke's flub.

Post, please?

[Neecy]

9. I'm checking the wires

Should be some photos released fairly soon - although the video was really priceless.

Bush storms the Quarter! Just incredibly silly.

[Roland99]

12. Heck, there are bars and such reopening in the FQ

It was largely untouched and never flooded (it's above sea level as it's just a few blocks from the Mississippi River.)

[Mist]

15. I caught that a few minutes ago--a military convoy through totally

dry, cleared streets. * looks like he's shrinking-shirt seemed 3 sizes too big. Was that the LA Gov. next to him? (as far as she could get from * without jumping out of the truck).

[thefloyd]

16. Same thing I thought

Bush looked rediculous. Bush seemed more concerned about falling on his ass than taking a hard long look at the latest Bushco incompetance episode.

[Johonny]

18. What is he doing?

Why is he there still. Doesn't he have people to inspect damage. This is just photo op time. He's just there for the coverage. A REAL leader would be in Washington making sure Congress no House members were dumb enough to vote against the money to rebuild. What a total loser. All he does is hurt efforts by wasting people time.

So he's going to start ignoring poor hite people as much as poor black people now? Anyone who think this rescue effort was comprehensive should not be president.


President Bush denied Monday there was any racial component to people being left behind after Hurricane Katrina, despite suggestions from some critics that the response would have been quicker if so many of the victims hadn't been poor and black. "The storm didn't discriminate and neither will the recovery effort," Bush said. "The rescue efforts were comprehensive. The recovery will be comprehensive."

19. Pics!

[Roland99]

20. He sure is meeting a lot of firefighers in the rest of the pics

Be sure to vote accordingly.

[Algorem]

22. why's that guy about to karate-chop the lady in red?was she playing the

blame game?she looks like she already took one chop.

[leftofthedial]

21. inspecting damage to his credibility maybe

[gatorboy]

23. Heh!!

It looks like Bush is doing the ole Rain Man "leaning head "impression.

[DS1]

39. yeah, 2 leaning telephone poles, definitely 2

2 leaning poles

[ForrestGump]

42. I'm an excellent president

Definitely an excellent president.

[arwalden]

24. Looks Like He's About To Get A Spanking!!

[liveoaktx]

25. that the ONLY way he thinks he can safely see NO-from a TANK???

[pdxmom]

26. A real leader would

be out of that vehicle and in hip waders, actually visiting the true devastation. And talking to real people instead of "officials" who will only tell him what he wants to hear.

Until he gets his feet wet, so to speak, this is nothing more than another photo op.

[liveoaktx]

27. Here's my fave-lookit his tiny head-can he duck any lower?

Oh, I guess so!

[Neecy]

28. omigod!

In that first photo, he looks like a tiny, one-dimensional cardboard cutout, almost photoshopped into the picture.

Notice he's always the first to duck!

[havocmom]

32. What a wuss he is! Take a hard look, MSM, at the 'leader' so obviously

NOT what has been showcased on TV all this time! Take a look, reporters, of the man you have been so afraid to be honest about! He is a scared little kid without even a child's healthy curiosity!

I have seen mice with more courage!

[Rob H.]

33. That's funny and sad at the same time

He's ducking away from that cable or whatever it is as if it's a snake. ("Ah wunner if that's one o' them watermouths or cottonmocassins 'r sumthin. Sure is long 'n skinny, tho.")

[goclark]

35. Tell me that isn't photoshopped --ROTFL

Look how much lower he ducks!! Ha ha ha

That's what he has been doing all his life.

[liveoaktx]

38. Off "Photos" in news.yahoo.com

Reminds me of this one from the past

[phusion]

40. bahahaha

President Courage

:rofl:

[gatorboy]

43. HEH!!!!

:hide:

Oh, Lord, I'm crying..That's soooo funny!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Poiuyt]

45. Commanmder Little Boots?

He looks like he's leaning on the mayor's shoulder in fear. Doesn't seem to bother the Secret Service guy or the Admiral

[Kazak]

29. Is that Yoko Ono?

:shrug: ;)

[Bluebear]

44. hehehehehehehe

[hunter]

30. He always wanted to go on one of those amphibious"duck" tours of the city

Bush is very happy all those scary black people have been cleared off the streets, but he's very sad that they didn't give him one of those bright yellow duck calls to blow on.

[bklyncowgirl]

31. Bush & Blanco & Nagin, can't you just feel the love!

These pictures are priceless.

[ellenfl]

34. coast guard guy didn't look to happy with him either. eom

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. Body language, people, body language,

and the SS, this is a nightmare to protect the chimperor... by the way

[The Night Owl]

37. Bush is shrinking!

[oasis]

41. Chimpy is channeling Gen. MacArthur's triumphant return to the P.I..

:patriot:

[ninkasi]

46. He looks about as big

as the scout next to him. I didn't realize he was such a shrimpy little guy, no wonder he's got a complex. Pathetic.

[okieinpain]

47. ah, look at his new best buddy, noogan.

[SW FL Dem]

48. Anyone have the next pic, where you could barely see

Bush's head above the dash. It was pretty funny, because you could also see Andy Card hiding behind Nagin.
