2. the tunic shows off all the padding in his suit used to make him look
bigger than he really is.

I remember when he first stole the election in 2k, that whenever I saw him walking around it always looked like the suit was wearing him. It looked like a hand-me-up from Jebbie. Then they got him the padded suits, so he could look more macho.

If you look at the ratio of his head to his shoulders, and look at the way the tunic hangs on the suit, you can see that the suit is padded, IMO.

:rofl:

11. He does look padded
But most of the others look pretty paunchy too. Maybe those tunics were designed for no clothes underneath. :)

32. The padding is only to hide the outlines of his control panel.
the guys moving him really have their hands full keeping him under control and keeping the words in synch with the mouth-movements.

And when they steer him towards the wrong exit all hell breaks loose ...

26. I bet W would much rather wear the black pj's
Talking Vietnam Pot-Luck Blues
(Tom Paxton)

Well when I landed in Vietnam
I hardly got to see Saigon
They shaped us up and called the roll
and off we went on a long patrol
Swappin' lies, swattin' flies,
firing the odd shot here and there

Captain called a halt that night
And we had chow by the pale moon light
A lovely dinner they planned for us
With a taste like a seat on the crosstown bus
Some of the veterans just left theirs layin' in the can
For the VietCong to find
Said it was deadlier than a land mine

Well naturally somebody told a joke
and a couple of fellows began to smoke
I took a whiff as a cloud rolled by
And my nose went up like an infield fly
the Captain, this blonde fellow, from Yale looked up at me and said
"What's a matter with you, baby"
(you're supposed to sound very ghetto at this point)

Well I may be crazy, but I think not;
I swear to God that I smell pot!
but who'd have pot in Vietnam?"
he said, "Whaddaya think you been sittin' on?"
these funny little plants....
thousands of them.
good God Almighty!
pastures of plenty!

So we all lit up and by and by
The whole platoon was flying high
With a beautiful smile on the captains face
He smelled like midnight on St. Marks Pl.
Crackin' jokes, cleaning his weapon,
chanting something about Hari Krishna, Hari Krishna

Well the moment came as it comes to all
That I had to answer nature's call
I was stumbing around in a beautiful haze
When I met a little cat in black pj's
rifle, ammo belt, BF Goodrich sandals,
He looked up at me and said "What's the matter with you, baby"
(sounding just like the captain)

He said we're camping down the pass
And smelled you people blowing grass
And since, by the smell, you're smoking trash
I brought you a taste of a special stash
Straight from Uncle Ho's victory garden
We call it Hanoi Gold.

So his squad and my squad settled down
Passed some lovely stuff around
All too soon it was time to go
Captain got on the radio
Said hello headquarters, hello headquarters
We have met the enemy and they have been smashed.

27. Vietnam the Latest to File Lawsuit Against "Bushrat":
11/17/06 Vietnam the Latest to File Lawsuit Against "Bushrat"

Hanoi, Vietnam (Rotters) - Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet today announced that the country would be initiating a lawsuit against controversial improvisational comedian/politician "Bushrat", joining a long line of domestic and international litigants who claim to have been deceived by the performer. "Bushrat" is currently touring the nations of Asia in his controversial "Bushrat: Cynical Leanings of Muruca for Make Benefit of Glorious Leader" performance piece.

"Bushrat informed us that he was coming to bring us this big economic trade agreement," said a spokesperson for the Vietnamese President, "so then we make all of these arrangements, security, military reviews, marching bands, lavish dinners... and then we find out that he doesn't really have the authority for any such agreement... and that he doesn't even really represent the American people. He ate our food, shook a lot of hands, and took lots of pictures in front of statues of Ho Chi Minh. We really feel like we've been taken advantage of."

"Bushrat's" performance appeared to be going well until he insisted the Vietnamese first lady "pull his finger" at a formal dinner and he laughed and passed flatus for the cameras and the stunned guests in attendance. Earlier in the day, he was seen at Truc Bach lake offering a local child a dollar to dive to the bottom of the lake and attempt to bring up a piece of wreckage from the damaged warplane of Commander John McCain, now a Republican senator and likely presidential candidate for 2008. "Bushrat" met with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, over lunch and discussed the two countries' strategies for the ongoing war in Iraq. "We'll succeed," stated Bushrat, "I've decided."

Others who have brought suit against "Bushrat" include a pair of former fraternity members from Bushrat's days at Yale, who insist that he got them drunk and then branded them with a red-hot coat hanger. More recently, the nation of Germany announced that it was bringing suit against "Bushrat", and his chief publicist, Donald Rumsfeld, in the name of the people of Iraq for their role in deceptively taking advantage of and torturing poor Iraqi's, and reneging on fair compensation. The White House today insisted that all suits leveled against "Bushrat" had no merit whatsoever, and that all parties had ample time to evaluate and understand where "Bushrat" was coming from before entering into any type of legal agreement.

30. Its Not A Fucking "Tunic", Warriors wear tunics, Its a Fucking Dress
Edited on Sun Nov-19-06 10:47 AM by ThomWV
As I recall it was the women of south viet nam who wore the Ao Dai, which is what that thing the asswipe is wearing is called. I think you could spend a lot of time surveying the Viet Namese language and never run across the word "Tunic". In south viet nam those things were worn by the women who could afford them - they were not cheap; high class Ladies and prostitutes. Which is George?
