1. I've said it before

FREE BARNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[graywarrior]

2. How does he manage to keep the same dopey expression?

[Quakerfriend]

3. His expressions give me the feeling that he's had a very

rapid decline- in terms of his mental status.

4. Poor Barney

he always looks so miserable!

[BrklynLiberal]

5. That is what AP spends their photo budget on???!!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

I think their accountants better re-examine their priorities, or at the very least, their expense account allowances.

6. Good lord, I can't wait for the day that I never EVER

have to look at that man again. Are there ANY photos of him where he looks dignified, even in the smallest way? No. He can't even descend stairs without making stupid facial expressions. Oh god, three and a half more years! :cry:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

9. Dignified? Here's a good one:

:evilgrin:

[myrna minx]

10. The image doesn't appear for me.

:cry: :cry: Oh, I would love to see * look all dignified while he is out prezidentin' and stuff.

12. Hmmm...not sure why, it's showing in my browser...but try this:

15. Yay! He apparently has good grooming habits.

It's important remove nits whenever possible. Thanks!

13. Gahlly gee. One step above>>>>

[Rose Siding]

7. First shot looks like he's telling someone to go long

[Bumblebee]

8. He probably has 5-6 Barneys around, cloned for his special use

since Rove wouldn't let him leave the plane -- or walk towards it -- without holding the dog who is supposed to evoke warm and fuzzy feelings in all of us for both teh dog and its owner...

11. Will somebody PLEASE teach it to breathe through its nose?

If he's not scowling, he's got his mouth open.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. That is what happens to your nose after years of snorting coke.

16. Dear George: To play fetch, you throw a stick, not the dog

That's all I can think of when I see that first photo.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. He DROPPED Barney once...on CONCRETE...

...scaring the HELL out of a bunch of kids in the process, and the CAMERAS WERE ROLLING when it happened.

[Theres-a]

18. Oh!

:spray:

[jane_pippin]

19. Oh my god! I didn't know that.

That poor dog. I guess that's what happens when your owner has the DT's.

20. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

Somebody with artistic skill needs to "Rockwell-ize" the Barny Drop and put it on a Franklin Mint collector plate.

It could be the first in a series, the second being the Dim Son falling off the electric scooter-thingy.

22. The quick, down 'n' dirty 10 minute Photoshop version:

:toast:

24. I think Operation Free Barney needs to commence immediately! nt
