1. Where did her phony smile go? Must have left it at home. n/t

[Stuckinthebush]

2. Looks like some serious jet lag

I'm sure she is tired of this shit.

[Botany]

8. Bingo

hate to stick up fro her but a 18 hr change in your body's clock in one day is a hammer.

[candice]

17. Jet lag...she just needs to readjust

No defender of the Bush Corp., but have suffered from jet lag myself.

[DoYouEverWonder]

23. She has no excuse

Most of us don't get to travel in a luxury jetliner with real beds.

[calimary]

21. No doubt. Especially since I'd bet things have been mighty uncomfortable

in the residence since the election. junior CANNOT be fun or easy to live with lately. Plus, there's all the shit coming out in some of the tabloids - her divorce papers, his drinking, etc., etc.

I'll bet she often thinks "this is NOT what I signed up for."

Looks like she's wearing her nice multi-strand citrine necklace that he gave her for her birthday. I also notice she must have gotten the "How Your Outfits Can Make You Stand Out in a Crowd" memo from Nancy Reagan.

3. Poor thing. Is she off her meds?

She looks REALLY depressed.

[johnnie]

4. I bet I know why

She maybe forgot this at home:



She's running low on power.

[acmavm]

5. She's just nervous and upset. Wouldn't you be if you had to

constantly sit and wait for that guy to do or say something really stupid and embarrassing?

27. Waiting for Chimpo

6. Pickles got the extra vinegar today....

youch!

[soleft]

7. that's really sad nt

[yellowcanine]

9. The Minister and Mrs. Ambassador aren't exactly thrilled either.

Sour pusses all around. Is the shrub between them and lunch or is he just that bad? Jet lag could explain Laura's expression but the other two - well they are just unhappy.

[gratuitous]

10. Caption for the second picture

"Man, they make a mean Singapore Sling here in Singapore. Whoof! I'll blame the guy on my left for that one!"

[filer]

11. Everybody there looks like they're ready to barf.

Exactly how I feel anytime I watch or listen to the Loser in Chief.

[demnan]

12. Doesn't your face go like that when Bush speaks?

I know mine does.

[pacalo]

13. "Why, oh why, did I get into this mess?"

[grasswire]

14. the man who can put a pickle to sleep. (eom)

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Pickles: A Study In Deep Thought.......

[goclark]

19. That is not jet lag that is deep depression IMO

She has had it.

The Enquirer and Globe must be right.

They had a photo last week of Pickles leaning against the wall with her arms folded real tight.

Condi was standing right in front of her and getting ready to following GW out the door.

Pickles was left by the wall.

[Eurobabe]

22. She's got some serious wattle in that photo

I think Pickles is contemplating her life in Paraguay and she ain't diggin' it.

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. Can't be any worse then Crawford, TX

and supposedly she loves it there.

[Whoa_Nelly]

25. She's also wearing the b-day gift * gave her recently

FIRST LADY CELEBRATES 60TH BIRTHDAY — CRAWFORD, Texas — It’s bling again for Laura Bush’s birthday. For the second year in a row, President Bush gave his wife jewelry. This time, it’s a triple-strand necklace with amber-colored citrine, a November birthstone. The Bushes celebrated Saturday night with four other couples over Mexican food at their Texas ranch. Bush had teased his wife during recent political rallies. “I’m not going to tell you her age,” he said Friday in Iowa, “but we were both born in the same year, and I turned 60 this year.”

16. Pickles is wearing her birthday present from Bushie, though.

That necklace is amber citrine--which is what the media reported
he gave her for her 60th.

[Human Torch]

28. It doesn't look like amber citrine...it looks like beef Rice-A-Roni.

Further proof that unlimited wealth allows you to purchase gifts that are just...plain...FUGLY.

[mnhtnbb]

29. LOL!

[Sequoia]

18. Everyone looks totally SAD, SAD, SAD.

[Cass]

20. Laura looks like she is about to fall asleep. They all look like they're at a funeral.

Wonder what Bush was saying in his speech?

[Whoa_Nelly]
