A farewell photo gallery of Bush from DER SPIEGEL:

[Call Me Wesley]

They reflect on his eight years. I can't translate the comments, but believe me, they are way snarky:

Enjoy! Browse through the gallery http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-36611.html">here.

1. Really liked...

I really liked the caption for the 13th pic;

Ich George, du Tarzan!

[Call Me Wesley]

2. LOL!

That's a really good one.

[ensho]

3. enjoyed the pics - thanks much and thank you Spiegel

[Call Me Wesley]

5. There were a few I didn't know,

the one he trips getting of the plane and makes the same idiotic face he has in quite a few of the pics. ;)

[Synnical]

4. It's going to be such a relief when this national nitemare is over n/t

[Call Me Wesley]

6. I think you can add 'international' there, too. (nt)

[TahitiNut]

7. "Leader of the Free World"

:puke:

[Call Me Wesley]

9. Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog! Now accomplish mission! ACCOMPLISH MISSION!

:hi:

[Sabriel]

8. Gee. I'll miss him!

Who else is so perfect for bad shots?

My favorites are the locked door and the blue pajamas.

Bye, W! Idiot.

[Call Me Wesley]

10. His face in the locked door one is just priceless.

It goes from 'D'oh' to 'WTF' over 'Terrorists locked me in!'

[roamer65]

11. I'd cry if I were that baby, too.

"Mommie, make the ugly monkey left me go!!!"

[Call Me Wesley]

15. And look, he makes faces at you! (nt)

[DFW]

12. They left out some of the captions

Actually, I stole and translated this from something a French friend sent me with this pic:

[Call Me Wesley]

16. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[intheflow]

13. OMG!

The third photo was taken when Bush came to my Katrina volunteer camp! I was about 10 feet away from that incident. Guy in back of him was such a big freeper he had a mailbox with GWB on it outside his tent--had it there for months before we knew Bush would be coming. :puke: God, I wish I had taken that photo--classic Bush dexterity.

[Call Me Wesley]

17. That was one I've never seen before.

Wonder why he didn't jump right in to catch the pen. ;)

:hi:

[intheflow]

23. He was far too enamored to do anything but drool

in the presence of his beloved Fuhrer. Actually, though, now that I think of it, that guy drooled a lot anyway.

[Call Me Wesley]

35. LOL!

I think some drool, and others wink. ;)

[kath]

14. What a great collection of pics! I'm surprised, though, that they didn't have the one when he

dropped Barney in front of all the horrified little softball players.

[Call Me Wesley]

19. There are a few missing,

but it might have overheated their servers with stupidity. ;)

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Had he not been such a destructive jerk, I would actually feel sorry for him.

[Call Me Wesley]

21. He had his eight years,

nothing to feel sorry for, IMO.

[Vickers]

20. I love photo 15 where you can see his mom scratching her ass.

Very classy, Barb.

:rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

22. Well, if it's itchy,

you have to scratchy. ;)

[Vickers]

32. Which raises the question....

Ewwwwwwwwwww!

:spank:

[Call Me Wesley]

34. Ewwww, indeed!

:rofl:

[SammyWinstonJack]

24. George W Poppins

27. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,1340569,00.jpg

[1776Forever]

25. Wow I hadn't seen some of these! Funny but shameful too to think he is our President.

http://www.spiegel.de/img/0,1020,1340493,00.jpg

[Call Me Wesley]

29. Not for long anymore.

He'll be embarrassing past, maintaining his coloring books in his library (one he has already finished,) still being delusional.

[Blue1963]

52. Words can not describe the level of fail this idiot has achieved.

n/t

[ITsec]

26. Shit. He even fucks up on a Segway.

Idiot.

[Call Me Wesley]

30. Too bad there was no pic

of the impact. Segway-surge, almost.

[mysticalchick]

28. Didja see the look in Barney's eyes?

It was so "Help me. I'm being held prisoner by a moron", wasn't it? And that one with the Pope is hilarious. It says, in one gesture, all we've been thinking 'lo these many years.

Thanks for the link!

[Call Me Wesley]

31. You're welcome,

glad you enjoyed it. And yes, Barney does not feel happy there. No wonder, the guy dropped him, too!

[suffragette]

33. English version here:

http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-36649.html

[Call Me Wesley]

36. Oh, thank you!

Couldn't find it. Thanks! :hi:

[suffragette]

39. Thanks to you for posting the original

since I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

I had to look up the English after that since my German is very limited.

:hi:

[Call Me Wesley]

43. I went through the English ones,

and they seem to be a lot tamer than the German ones, but still very funny. :hi:

[suffragette]

47. Grüezi

Wish I had kept up with the language more after living in Germany, but my vocabulary has faded over time.
Hope it's a lovely day in Switzerland for you.
Looking forward to a rainy but fantastic day here in Seattle.

[Call Me Wesley]

48. Grüezi you too!

It's already dinner time here after a grey and rainy day, and it's called the South!

I think it'll be a fantastic day all over the U. S. I know I'm going to stay up way late tonight. All my best! :hi:

[suffragette]

49. I'll be staying up late as well

which will probably have me still up and posting when you're getting up tomorrow morning :P

Food, Switzerland - now you have me craving Rösti.

[Call Me Wesley]

50. Rösti!

:rofl: One of my wife's (DUer 'Heidi,' American) most favorite dish. ;)

[suffragette]

51. Yummmmmm

[Mad_Dem_X]

54. Thank you!

God, I can't believe we lived with this asshole as our "leader" for eight looooooooooooooooooooong years. Thank God we'll be getting rid of him soon!

[intheflow]

59. Thanks!

Even better with translation! :hi:

[Jeanette in FL]

37. Talk about a "Greatest Hits" collection

That was so freaking hysterical. I was truly Laughing Out Loud.

Thank you so much for the link.

[Call Me Wesley]

38. And there are still a whole lot missing.

But he seemed to be pretty persistent with looking stupid.

:hi:

[Dukkha]

40. The locked door in China is priceless

except this time we'll get the door opened for you and TOSS YOUR ASS OUT!!!

[Call Me Wesley]

44. Don't let the door ...

Nah, forget it. ;)

[Gregorian]

41. And good riddance.

[Call Me Wesley]

45. Heh heh!

Great pic! :thumbsup:

[seemslikeadream]

42. My addition

AND THE CHILDREN ALL THINK TO THEMSELVES "WOW, TEACH WAS RIGHT, ANYBODY CAN BECOME PRESIDENT"

[Call Me Wesley]

46. Thank you!

Great addition! :hi:

[kskiska]

53. Forgot a few

[Karenina]

55. Caught on film...

[Call Me Wesley]

58. These are great.

I especially love the one with Putin, like, "So, I'm in the KGB now? Can I have extra gulag?"

[leftchick]

56. missed a few of my favorites

[Call Me Wesley]

57. Thanks for adding these.

What a photogenic beauty! :sarcasm:

[ThatsMyBarack]

60. My stummick hurts.

:puke: Thanks for sharing anyway.

[Call Me Wesley]

61. LOL!

Sorry! ;)
