Check out Reid's hand. Its placement means: Bush, you are PWN3D!

1. I've heard about that in the Senate

and seen Kerry do it to people.

[mcg]

58. More photos to enjoy at Yahoo News

[dave29]

2. wiah he had rubbed his head

as Bush does to bald men

[Vox Acerbus]

3. I noticed that!

And I loved it!

[peaches2003]

4. Always the cowboy

* always stands as if he is about to draw his six-shooters. Who the heck stands with there arms out like that except a complete buffoon.

[Horse with no Name]

6. Actually I think he just pissed his pants

and is just enjoying the warmth and thankful he wore his brown suit.:)

[symbolman]

65. LOL!

Best Post I've seen in a WEEK! :)

Thanks!

[HereSince1628]

11. It's the bullet proof vest he put on before the Dems came over

Bush is running scared.

[MoonRiver]

16. Nuff said!

:rofl:

[LuckyLib]

27. Actually the squawk box on his back is uncomfortable and he's

tired of the earpiece.

[AnneD]

32. my ex for one...

I guess he thought it made him look busy and concerned. I just thought he looked stupid-turns out I was right. He's now hard core GOP-I was right to dump that dead weight.

[Ino]

38. My brother stands like that

He was a cop. And he's a Repuke.

[InternalDialogue]

44. I like to believe it's not the cowboy thing.

It's the invisible water wings he wears all the time.



They go nicely with the invisible dog he pets at pressers and the voices he hears.

[Virginia Dare]

5. I hope Harry's telling Dicky boy to...

go fuck himself.

You're right, the chimp doesn't know whether to puke or shit.

[seabeyond]

7. i dont know what pw whatever is. claification please

there was one photo bush leaning across shake durbin and looking at body language reid refused to take a step back, lose ground, so maybe this is a control on bush,... in bush gotta be front and center

[Occulus]

35. It came from online gaming

I think it goes something like, some kid gamer was going to type "dude, you just got owned", but because of the frenetic gameplay, fingers slipped, and it became "pwn3d".

Look at your keyboard, and the placement of the letters, and image playing a game wherein you move forward, back, left, and right using the w, s, a, and d keys, respectively. Now imagine trying to type "owned" whilst not getting blown away by a fellow gamer.

It caught on and for some reason stuck around.

[seabeyond]

46. wow. thanks for hte explanation. i saw down below, but

yes, looked at keyboard and see what you are sayying. being old and not a gamer, i think that is funny as al get up. having young boys on the other hand who are gamers, i love. i tell them to quit copying my generation adn come up with their own unique. this is one. (hated when they went back to 70's clothes)

thanks for taking the time to teach me

[Kilroy003]

48. It's part of 'l33t' speak, originally.

It's now evolved from being part of the MMORPG lexicon to having a utilitarian role in password security. It's much harder for various password bots to 'guess' your password if some of the vowels are replaced by numbers.

ie...

E = 3
O = 0 (that's a zero)
I = 1

[seabeyond]

50. interesting. isnt it you who posted a dictionary of sort below

of this new speak. lol lol. having young ones i might have to learn this, cept hubby a computer geek so he probably knows this stuff

thanks

[Tatiana]

8. You know Cheney is dying to tell Reid to go "F" himself. n/t

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Cheney looks REALLY ill...

...bloated, pasty - more so than usual.:wow:

[dysfunctional press]

10. what is "PWN3D"?

nt

[skipos]

15. It means "owned" though I don't get why the "p" is there. Anyone? nt

[dysfunctional press]

18. or the 3...

why not just use an "e"?

[Synnical]

21. Typos occured during its evolution

Originating from the word "owned", the word later took on the 1337 variation 0wn3d. Because this was primarily used as a cry of victory or supremacy in first person shooter games online, typos occured, the most common involved missing the "o" key and hitting the "p" key. This stuck, leaving us with the words pwn, pwn4g3, and pwn3d

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwn3d

[seabeyond]

26. geez... lol lol at least lol is explanable. lol that is funny

[AnneD]

36. I saw it

and thought it meant pawned-made sense to me. As in your ass is mine now.

[Starlight]

29. It was originally a misspelling on an internet game site, but people liked it & started using it.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwn3d

[Glimmer of Hope]

23. I googled. Essentially I think it means I own your ass.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwn3d

[baldguy]

12. "Sit down, Little Man. Lets the grown-ups talk."

[gratuitous]

13. Nervous little smiles on Bush and Cheney

The kind you see on a person when they're confronted with someone they're not quite sure about, hoping that by smiling they will avoid getting the crap knocked out of them. Durbin appears to be enjoying himself enormously.

[whistle]

14. PWN3D? Please define

[I_Will]

19. when in doubt...wiki! :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwned

[Elidor]

25. pwn3d:

A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned."

Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned."

It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwned

Actually, the origin described above sounds apocryphal.

[Gruenemann]

56. So...what's the "3" for?

We dont't all talk teenage geek here.

[Erechtheides]

60. The entire expression is teenage geek

therefore, the correct spelling contains a "3"

[jayctravis]

69. It's also an online exchange...

When you are playing a fast online game and you have to type to someone often you will miss the right keys.

pwn3d - the p and the 3 are near the o and the e that are supposed to be there.

[liberal N proud]

17. Is that a BIG GRIN on Durbin's face?

[BelgianMadCow]

40. I'd say YES it is - and Cheney

is doing his best to shake hands from as far away as possible. Clear signals all around.

:-)

[C_U_L8R]

20. The law of gravitas in effect

they're coming down

[NNN0LHI]

22. Harry Reid is steering Bush around instead of Bush doing it to someone

The freepers are just dying inside over this stuff. They would rather have Bush kissing Arabs than have to see this happening.

Don

[butterfly77]

24. Bush always loves to do his little back pat...

as though he is in charge,looks like Harry is saying we aren't having any of that,at least in this shot I will have to see the whole meeting...

[proud patriot]

28. yep

:evilgrin:

[NYCGirl]

30. And he made Cheney lean in to him, which is also a power stance.

Good for you, Harry!

[Lex]

41. Exactly. Reid is very good.

Very, very good.

:thumbsup:

[Plaid Adder]

31. Dude, and he knows it too! Look at his face!

Thanks for that picture. Brightens my day.

The Plaid Adder

[Bouncy Ball]

33. Hee hee.

That's the first thing I thought. The hand on the shoulder. "Who's your daddy?"

And making Cheney lean in. Durbin looks like he's cracking up, which is cracking me up.

[Dhalgren]

34. Look at Reid's face and eyes as he gives Cheney the old

"Stink-eye". Man when you get looked at like that, you either begin walking the other way, or start taking off your glasses and wrist-watch...

[originalpckelly]

37. Dick and Bush are Harry and Dick's bitches...

And I am loving every moment of it.

[Johnyawl]

39. Reid looks like he's trying to pull Cheney off balance...

...so Durbin can sucker punch him.

I've noticed something about the photos since wednesday; not only has Jr. lost his smirk, but the perpetual sneer on Cheney's ugly face is gone.

[Tatiana]

43. I have noticed the same thing about Cheney.

The snarling sneer is completely gone. Dare I say, he looks like he's about to meet his Maker.

[Tommymac]

42. Harry is forcing cheney too.

The cheney monster is being forced to lean into Harry's space...

This pix is delicious on so many levels...


BTW, pwned is l33t speak. leet is a whole new subculture among the new generation instant message chatters...kinda like the lingo we of the 60's had that drove our parent's crazy...fro those who want to understand it...

[meti57b]

45. Reid's got his hands on Bush. Body language, you only touch someone of lesser standing,

you don't do that to someone you might consider higher up.

Note Cheney leaning over more that Reid, to shake hands. That also shows subservience.

Do these guys (cheney and bush) know they've been had? ... LOL!

[Lisa]

74. yep -- I'm sure it's deliberate -- an allusion to Bush's habit ...

... of putting his hands all over people he's being introduced to, because he knows they're too scared or polite to object. Like the time he grabbed the German Chancellor -- or all those bald men whose heads he rubbed. I bet Senator Reid decided to let Bush know he was onto him -- "how do you like being on the receiving end, 'Dubya'"?

Well-spotted, meti57b.

[madrchsod]

47. reid was a boxer

bush was a male cheerleader---`nough said..

[Clark2008]

49. Nevermind... caught the link.

[Dora]

51. Thats a mighty BLUE picture.

Not a shred of red in sight.

[mcg]

52. Durbin is laughing at Cheney!

The look of shaudenfraude on Durbin's face is a delight.

Reid could crush Cheney's hand if he wanted to.

Bush looks like a bratty little boy put in his place.

[Lex]

63. Yes

Durbin's delight is delicious.

[JudyM]

53. Looks like Cheney's been sleeping in his suit ... the party's over, baby!

[marions ghost]

54. GREAT photo

:rofl: LOVE that body language...says it all

Being owned feels familiar to Chimpy...it's just that it's joint custody now so he's a bit confused

Reid and Durbin are fully enjoying the discomfort of the moment.

Thanks for posting

[hwmnbn]

55. Harry Reid is telling Cheney.....

"Move on, the president is OUR bitch now!"

Look at all the forced smiles!!

[mcg]

57. Rate it up at Yahoo News

59. George Washington can't even look

He's so fed up.

[marions ghost]

62. LOL

[Richard Steele]

61. All their SEATS are belong to us! nm

67. ALL YOUR CONGRESS ARE BELONG TO US

ALL YOUR CONGRESS ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR CONGRESS ARE BELONG TO US
ALL YOUR CONGRESS ARE BELONG TO US

[johnfunk]

64. LOL -- give a whole new meaning to "Talk to the hand!"

"He's MY monkey now, Dick -- and we're impeaching you FIRST!"

[rainbow4321]

66. I like this one...

It's in the slideshow...nice to have the adults back in charge.

[Duppers]

68. cheney's ass is owned too!

I pray for the day when we can hear the term **Madam President**, when referring to Nancy Pelosi---after the investigations, when bush & the vice-asshole are both impeached!

[chill_wind]

70. Great pic! I always wondered what this icon was for in my Firefox smilies add-on

Now I know, lol.

[mcg]

71. ALL YOUR SEATS ARE BELONG TO US.

IN A.D. 2006
WAR WAS BEGINNING.

BUSH: WHAT HAPPEN ?
ROVE: SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB.
CHENEY: WE GET SIGNAL.
BUSH: WHAT ?
CHENEY: MAIN SCREEN TURN ON.

BUSH: IT'S YOU !!



REID: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN !!
REID: ALL YOUR SEATS ARE BELONG TO US.
REID: YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION.

BUSH: WHAT YOU SAY !!

REID: YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME.

HA HA HA HA ....
