1. Ugh. I saw that earlier and thought it was gross.

[livvy]

2. He looks absolutely tanked in 4 out of the six pics.

I hate being embarrassed. No wonder I can't stand the lying weasel.

[unpossibles]

9. agreed and agreed. nt

[Warpy]

11. Knockin' back the maotai and then calling somebody a c**t

which is what that hand gesture means in China, not that he's sober enough to care what anybody thinks, he's at the 10th stage of drunkenness, he's bulletproof.

I will be so glad when this ignorant, vicious, overgrown frat boy is gone.

[livvy]

16. I will only be completely satisfied...

when he's behind bars and not just in one.

[Virginia Dare]

26. The pic I saw of him with Putin, he looked 4 sheets to the wind...n/t

[LeftinOH]

3. The hand print reminds me of Fritz Lang's "M".....if you've seen it,

you know what I mean.

[Jack Rabbit]

5. Um, hum

Except that would mean that Misty May is a child killer. We have no reason to accuse her of anything like that.

How many children have Bush murdered in Iraq? The "M" on his back would be more fitting.

[beam me up scottie]

4. That's probably from one of his handlers- they have to hold him up for most of the day.

The flag pic is priceless, what a f*cking idiot.

[blondeatlast]

6. The good news: I just traveled overseas, and thye make a distionction between that slob

and the American people.

The bad news: for many people worldwide, that is their most prominent representation of the US. God, he's so damn embarrassing.

[libnnc]

7. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

:puke:

[blondeatlast]

8. The m$m made a big deal over Obama wearing jeans to ride a bike--

but not a word on the sloppy dress and embarrassing as hell behavior of the face of the United States.

Thank you, Tesm USA, for showing the world that we're classier, more graceful, and savvier than our president.

:puke:

[valerief]

10. The one good thing I can about him--at least, he's a happy drunk. nt

[Diane R]

12. Where is the media? Doesn't the American public deserve to know whether their 'president' is drunk?

[graywarrior]

13. That first picture is sooooooooo him.

Maybe the handprint is his guardian angel trying to shove him someplace out of the way. The last picture shows his true emotional age-12.

[dflprincess]

14. I like how the capiton for picture 2 that he was "invited" to pat the athletes back.

I wonder if the other athletes (note: all female) invited him to grope them as well?

Actually, I would have titled picture #2 "I fart in your general direction."

And, in number 6, doesn't look like Jenna is trying to get her mother's attention? "Mommmm - do something, daddy's drunk again."

[Mike Daniels]

32. To be fair, the volleyball player DID in fact invite Bush to pat her on the butt

They've been very vocal about their fan-dom of Bush.

[bdf]

15. That is the handprint of Jebus!

He's been touched by Gawd.

[MiniMe]

17. Is he so drunk they are carrying him out?

In the 3rd picture he has 1 ss agent on each arm and somebody holding him up in the middle. :wtf:

[JNelson6563]

18. He is a living, breathing embarrassment.

I can't wait till he's gone off the world stage. Of course the shame that America "elected" him at all will go down as one of our eternal shames.

19. He could have slapped the volleyball player on the ass...

...it was insinuated in some circles that that was what he REALLY wanted to do but showed remarkable and uncharacteristic self-restraint at the last minute.

So, folks, as bad as these pictures are, it could have been one hell of a lot worse.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

20. What a pig....

n/t

[smoogatz]

21. Wonder what his poll numbers will be next week?

Jesus. He's not even trying anymore.

[LWolf]

22. The culmination of 7 years of national humiliation.

[arikara]

23. He's holding the flag right over Laura's face

it looks like Jenna is telling him to turn it around. Sheesh. We may have a neocon moron for a PM, but at least he is usually sober and capable of behaving in public. (although our neocon provincial premier got a drunk driving charge while in Hawaii with of course no repercussions)

At any rate, my condolences to my American friends.

[crimsonblue]

30. Gotta love diplomatic immunity...

where in most civilized countries, the local and state police are forbidden by law from arresting or citing diplomats...

[sourmilk]

31. After watching Ralphie-boy for 20 years or so...

...the same signs are easier to see in Chimpy.

[Mike Daniels]

33. The daughter in question in all photos is Barbara

From all visual evidence Jenna is not at the Olympics

[AzDar]

24. Okay, I give up....where's the President?

Oh, yeah...

God, Jan 20, 2009 CANNOT come quickly enough.

[Crabby Appleton]

25. Team photo

[WoodyTobiasJr]

27. He's at three different events and he's wearing the same shirt..

Didn't that d-bag think to bring a change of clothes??

[bdamomma]

28. once a fratboy always a fratboy

not to insult all fratboys.

[Serial Mom]

40. once an asshole, always an asshole.... fill in your own!

not to insult assholes....

[crimsonblue]

29. I LOVE Barbara's face in the last photo

"Goddamn it, Dad, you fucking idiot. You have it backwards... (To herself: God I hate my father....)"

[Raster]

37. Both Barb and Jenna BEGGED their father not to run...BEGGED HIM!

They're not stupid women. They know their father's weaknesses and faults. They had hoped the entire world didn't become famiiliar with their father's weaknesses and faults. Too fucking late.

What is it about the bush* boys their conduct in China? I wonder if lil' bro Neal is availing himself of complementary prostitutes?

[madeline_con]

34. The Ambassador of Embarrassment

I can't wait till Obama gets the job DUH-bya's not doing!

[tblue37]

35. Buffoon in Chief. n/t

[bertman]

36. In that first pic where Boy George is making the asshole sign, he looks TOTALLY RIPPED!!

[tblue37]

38. He is very grabby. He seems to have no concept of

personal space or boundaries. Especially with women this is inappropriate and offensive, but he is similarly intrusive even with men. It's frat boy (chimpanzee) dominance behavior.

[blue neen]

39. He's such an embarrassment.

Only 5 more months of this clown.

[Fla Dem]

41. OK Most of the pics of Bush are a riot. Frat boy gone wild, but in fairness

here is the caption that went with the handprint pic.

"US President George W. Bush (2nd R) poses for pictures with US softball player Laura Berg during a visit to their practice session in Beijing on August 9, 2008. A chalk handprint left by one of the players is pictured on the back of George Bush's shirt.
1:26 a.m. ET, 8/9/08."

42. Look at the "Leader of the Free World"!

Makes me proud to be an American. I think I'll sing a Lee Greenwood song and jack off all over my favorite handgun.
