1. he thinks he can levitate.....

that or he's pretending he's Ray Charles.

[Mabus]

2. He was summoning Chang in the 3rd pic.

Or signaling to the Secret Service to keep Katherine Harris away from the podium. ;)

[Sydnie]

4. ROFL!!!

Looks like Chang was giving him "invisible head". :rofl:

[Mabus]

7. Finally, an impeachable offense

:rofl: :spray:

[autorank]

16. Chang, could be. What about Ming, the Magnificent?

...a might force of evil from the past.

[Mabus]

24. Calling on Chang is a Bush family tradition

Here's an article about Jebby's usage:

Jeb Bush Reveals His “Mystical Warrior” Friend

Last week, after “more than an hour of solemn ceremony” swearing in Rep. Marco Rubio (R-FL) as House speaker, Gov. Jeb Bush stepped to the podium to tell “a short story about ‘unleashing Chang,’ his ‘mystical warrior’ friend.”

Below, courtesy of the Gainesville Sun, are Bush’s words, “spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians”:

“Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

“I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.”

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

‘’I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior,'’ he said, as the crowd roared.

And one about Poppy's:

"Unleash Chang": This is a phrase the previous President Bush often yelled while playing tennis (we don't know if he was referencing to the onetime Taiwan leader or the American tennis pro). This President Bush should unleash his "Chang" in terms of rhetoric and vision, using big speeches to guide presidential historians. Eisenhower's second term ended with his warning of a growing "military-industrial complex." Reagan's second term included a visit to Berlin to challenge the Soviets to "tear down this wall." In the second Bush term, why not a trip to Europe and a showcase speech on U.S. foreign policy? Why not a visit to the University of Notre Dame (scene of eloquent speeches by Reagan and Mario Cuomo) to discuss religion, ethics and America's moral fiber? http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/11/07/INGNL9M1831.DTL

[Vickers]

38. What in the fuck is WRONG with that family?

Unleash the chang?

That is just so bizarre that I was praying it was an Onion thing, but it ain't.

:(

[madinmaryland]

3. One of his medications or drugs just kicked in.

"Whoooooaaaah! I'm rushing!!! I really need to work on my balance!!"

[merh]

5. His finger nail polish needs to dry.

Don't be messing with him, nothing can spoil a day more than friggin messed up finger nail polish. :silly:

[snowbear]

[bluedeminredstate]

14. Note the creepy "Merkel" look on simian face.

She, on the other hand, looks ready for vigorous tonsil hockey. Dear God, I cannot imagine anything more putrid than having to lock lips with that man/ape. :puke:

12. Picture 2----boi-oi-oi-oi-oing?

the caption should have read: Bush plays air piano with brother Jeb for re-enactment of Journey's Separate Ways video

[snowbear]

15. air piano... LOL!

Although I assumed it was Van Halen's "Dreams" he was rocking out to.
