The Tears of a President - have you seen this photo?
Edited on Fri Jan-12-07 09:43 AM by leftyladyfrommo


This will make you gag.


This photo is over on Yahoo News.

Sorry - I can't get the link to work for some reason. But it is the same god awful photo that is up over on Drudge. It is absolutely horrible.

2. But we still clicked to see, just like people slow down to look at car crashes.

Or were you just joking?

4. if it's the one I think it is (can't see anything)
he was at a ceremony for a soldier who threw himself on a IED to save his friends. IMO, tha one tear is just as fake as the rest of his ass, and if by chance it is a real tear, it's not for the poor soldier and his family, but himself.

6. It's insulting! The phony bastard doesn't give a rat's ass and that is documented,
time after time. In his case, his inactions speak louder than his fake tear.

8. Drudge had it up for hours yesterday.
I have never understood how professional or amateur actors cry on demand. I can't do it.

18. Actors cry on demand by keeping handy a memory...
...of something heart-rending. Of course, to do that you must have a soul and a conscience, so I don't know how Bush cried.

9. One word: Visine.
Probably tried to get rid of the drunken redness in his eyes and the Visine overflowed.

15. Faking tears
Vicks Vaporub under your eyes or by the inside of your eyes by your nose! Works a treat every time. If you have to cry a little while into a scene, put some on a hankie or your finger and wipe that under your eyes when it's time for the tears to start. If you're close to the audience the smell might be a little obvious so in that case I recommend tea-tree oil. You know, those blemish-remover things. Don't get it in your eyes though.


He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." - KKKarl

16. It was on TV. He kept biting his bottom lip. Maybe the pain
from the bites caused the tears.

17. The eyes are curiously cold
in spite of the tear, and the eyes are turned away as if to hide something. He looks more shifty than mournful.

23. No, No, No. Those are the eyes of a determined, yet sorrowful leader.
But it is hard to tell the difference between those eyes and the eyes of a stone cold killer.

25. One tear from one eye?
And anyone is falling for it?

Barnum was right.

26. help with broken posted pics
Many websites will not allow you to link to their content this way. What has happened is that yahoo! has stopped you from this action. However, if you right click on the broken linked pic, you will see properties. In the properties area you will see a URL address. In most cases you can copy that text and paste it into your address bar and VIOLA! you have your pic to look at.

Don't know if it always works, but it works every time I have tried it.
