Bush Strolls with Saudi Prince --PIX-->>>

[Stephanie]

U.S. President George W. Bush (L) walks hand-in-hand through Texas Bluebonnet wildflowers with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah on his ranch in Crawford, Texas, April 25, 2005, as Vice President Dick Cheney (4th L) and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (R) follow behind with other members of the Saudi entourage. During his meeting with Crown Prince Abdullah, President Bush is expected to praise the kingdom's efforts to fight terrorism and seek its help in countering the economic threat posed by record oil prices.

[thinkingwoman]

1. WTF???

What's with the hand-holding?

In all my years of business I have never seen two men hold hands at a meeting, unless they were dating!

[Maple]

2. Cultural difference

Have you ever done business in Saudi Arabia?

[thinkingwoman]

22. no, but

this is America.

[Lone Pawn]

123. And so we shouldn't be respectful of the customs

of visiting dignitaries?

[ContraBass Black]

131. I was under the impression that

Both parties generally observe the customs of the country that is hosting.

[FreedomAngel82]

3. I've never seen that either

Just strange. Maybe they both like it or something? :shrug: Or maybe it's a weird custome? Did Clinton ever meet with the Saudi's and any hand holding there? Or even Bush41?

[mhr]

6. Didn't You Know - Bush Swings Both Ways

eom

[thinkingwoman]

24. well, yeah...

but I thought he was putting on his fundie public face. sigh.

[Frederik]

114. Reportedly, in Saudi Arabia

"recreational" homosexuality is extremely common and semi-accepted, while adultery with womenfolk is punishable by death - for the female party.

[TahitiNut]

12. The Bushtard always offers his LEFT hand, too.

Scraping off another turd in the Crawford outhouse. :shrug:

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Interesting.

Though both of them using their right hands AND walking side by side would be hard, it is interesting that bush offers his left hand, which is not real cool in ME cultures.

[TahitiNut]

39. He also can't keep himself from patting him on the back ...

... with his LEFT hand. I'm just waiting for him to pat him on the head. (If the son-of-a-bitch ever put his hands on me, he'd be drawing back a bloody fucking stump!)

[AuntiBush]

71. Bush in BELL BOTTOMS!?! Lookin Svelty!?!?

Spring is in the air, and that means 1 thing, ya know!

At least we know which 1 wears the pants!

:rofl:

[Karenina]

105. What are they holding?

What's that thing above the Prince's index finger??? :shrug:

[atre]

132. It looks like he's pointing at his crotch

nm

[DoYouEverWonder]

133. It must hurt

to walk around with a hard on stuffed up into your jockey shorts like that.

[Karenina]

138. Stuff the snarkies, I need your EYES

to tell me if I need to do the "nothing to see here" thing again. WHAT is THAT??? Please look!

[thinkingwoman]

26. hmmmm

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it.

[BikeWriter]

15. How many Arabs do you know?

I am the last to defend * from anything, but I have heard male hetero friends often show their affection in public by holding hands.

[thinkingwoman]

30. problem is...

they're in America.

I'm all for respecting other cultures, but it seems to me that the Saudis should be respecting ours when on our soil, and we should be respecting theirs when on their soil.

But, that's just my opinion.

[Terran]

44. Why are you so upset

at two men holding hands? You seem to have a major problem with that. What's the big deal?

[thinkingwoman]

54. my goodness

Why do you say that I am upset? I didn't write in all caps or bold or anything. Why are you projecting emotions on me that I'm not exhibiting or feeling?

Insinuating that I have some kind of problem with two men holding hands is a thinly veiled attack against somebody you know nothing about, simply because you disagreed with what I posted.

[Terran]

64. Well, I think it was

the "WHAT THE FUCK???" you started the thread out with. And here I thought I was using a mild term, "upset". Your initial post might well be said to imply outrage, not merely upset. If that was in fact not your frame of mind, then you should learn to be a little more conservative with your WTF???'s.

[thinkingwoman]

65. must be cultural difference

I use WTF to express everything from outrage to amusement...much like I use the word f*ck in a variety of circumstances.

Sorry to offend your conservative usage sensibilities, but I'll be keeping my liberal usage pattern.

[Terran]

66. It's not a matter of "conservative" vs "liberal"

and how very cute of you to imply such an attack on me. No, it's a matter of providing some context as to your intended meaning, especially if you're going to use the same phrase to describe such widely varying attitudes. Your post clearly implied outrage, not amusement, and as a gay male I didn't FUCKING appreciate it.

[thinkingwoman]

83. turnabout is fair play

doesn't feel so good when your tactics are used on you does it?

And you introduced the word "conservative" into the mix. I merely turned the phrase back around.

Sorry, but my post did not "clearly" imply outrage. You read that into it for whatever reason. I don't know how to prevent such behavior from strangers who read things into words posted on a screen.

What I do know is how many friends, co-workers, and others that I have battled and sometimes wound up estranged from because of my vocal support of equal rights for all humans (including my numerous gay and lesbian relatives and friends). You have misread me and seem content to continue to do so.

If you want to construe bias or bigotry where none exists you may continue to do so. I can't stop you. But I won't play along with it any further.

[SlowDownFast]

117. well that explains the sensitivity...

"and as a gay male I didn't FUCKING appreciate it."

[AuntiBush]

73. The fact that BUSH & RELIGIOUS FUNDIES

are against gays... just to mention a few.

Let's see:

Bush SMIRKS at us & anyone on Nat'l/World TV!
Bush, Co. & Family have huge ties to Saudi's so it's disgraceful to see our Commander and Thief looking so gentle w/the very Prince who's holding us hostage at the gas pumps while Bush and Co make $$ for eons w/gas ties and more.

I could go on... Delay, Frist & Religious right-wing Nutbags against Gays which I repeate is Nutbag mentality.

Geez... if you did that in public, they'd probably shoot your butt if they had it they're way, of which they're working on as in "Justice Sunday."

[thinkingwoman]

86. love your sig line! nt

[digno dave]

76. It's whose hand he is holding, that's the issue

My ass gets rheemed every week when i fill up my car and there shrub is stroking his member in our faces.

[thinkingwoman]

91. yup

it's definitely the who more than the what.

[smirkymonkey]

53. I agree. When in Rome.......

[BikeWriter]

55. I would think they would take it as a sign of respect from *.

As has been pointed out, * regularly offends other cultures with words and deeds. This is most out of character for him.

[thinkingwoman]

57. I have to agree

with you...Bush isn't normally considerate about other cultures. This is why I don't think the handholding pictured is cultural at all.

[BikeWriter]

77. Whatever it is, I'll bet the freepers are going apeshit over it!

:)

[thinkingwoman]

84. yes, and I can only imagine

what would have been said if a Democrat had held hands with a Saudi.

[BikeWriter]

108. They'd be accusing him of all sorts of things. :-)

[Frederik]

116. Usually...

other cultures don't exist atop the world's largest oil reserves.

[onenote]

56. so should female diplomats wear a veil when in Saudi Arabia?

If you're all for respecting other cultures, would you respect some of the more backwards things that go on in other cultures, particularly with regard to the treatment of women? Should Madeleine Albright worn a veil when, as Secretary of State, she visited these countries?


onenote

[thinkingwoman]

59. If they want to.

I, however, would not.

Isn't the veil a religious custom, rather than a cultural one? I have no desire to practice someone else's religion, and don't need them to practice mine.

[Lone Pawn]

125. They claim it's more cultural than religious.

Which is true, as more "westernized" Muslims do not wear the veil.

[Lone Pawn]

124. And how is hand-holding failing to respect our culture?

Seriously, it doesn't disrespect our culture, and it costs Bush nothing to do something so simple, please a visiting emissary, and look nice for the people back in SA.

[BlueEyedSon]

27. He doesn't even hold hands with Laura.

[thinkingwoman]

33. true, but...

he does smack her on the *ss every once in a while.

Shudder.

Hope he doesn't try that with the saudi. Freeper heads will explode all over the country. What a mess.

[patricia92243]

74. What are the inmates of Freeperville saying? n/t

[AuntiBush]

69. LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

I seen it minutes ago on C-Span.

Turn to C-Span 2 folks. Our Exiled Real President Kerry is speaking against Bush while he's falling-in-luv with Prince Saudi Oil Kingpin!

Jeez! We R S-C-R-E-W-E-D! The Chimp isn't smirkin' at Prince Oil King.
OOoohhhh nnnoooo. We don't deserve such respect.

Ba$tard!

[yodermon]

81. When I was in India

I freaked out a bit because I saw guys, everyday guys, going around holding hands. All the time. Sometimes just the pinkies.

I soon found out that this is simply what one does when one walks about with a friend.

While I'm sure chimpy know this is just custom, it is odd to see him so "at ease" engaging in such practice. Maybe just cognitive dissonance on my part.

ObDisclaimer: I know the crown prince is Saudi, not Indian. Chimpy is neither.

[thinkingwoman]

90. I keep thinking back

to the social faux pas that W made a few months ago--shaking hands with gloves on wasn't it?

Now he's suddenly culturally sensitive. What a tool.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

4. boy, they sure jump for the house of saud eh?

Jr., Cheny, Condi all in one place.......... whose kissing whose ass?

[rkc3]

11. I'm always surprised when I see cheney - especially when he's vertical.

Seems like when he's not in hiding, he's giving speeches while sitting down - maybe it's his ticker or it's to reinforce how scary times really are.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

80. ok im going to edit this and tone it down a little

you'd think after 9-11 NEVER FORGET RAH RAH GO US that chimperor would show a little of that "good ole country-boy lone-wolf there's a poster in texas. . . " attitude when the Saudis wanted to hold his hand.

Rather he, for the ONE TIME IN HIS LIFE, becomes a culturally sensitive diplomat literally holding hands with the enemy.

[rocktivity]

5. (Pre-click prediction) Holding hands again?

Yikes!

Is this an actual Saudi tradition, the way a French hero is kissed on both cheeks?

:wow:
rocknation

[beam me up scottie]

7. Please tell me he's not wearing

those goddamn cowboy boots and western belt buckle again, please...

[rsmith6621]

8. Bush Has To Be a Homosexual

That hasnt come out of the closet yet.....or is the Prince BLIND??

[Bouncy Ball]

9. God, I actually laughed out loud when I saw these.

Strolling hand in hand through the flowers, Chimpy McCokespoon looking like he's desperately trying to hold in a fart (sorry, that's crude, but it's the only way I can describe his facial expressions).

"ALL OUR OIL BASES ARE BELONG TO US!!!! AND DON'T FORGET IT CHIMPY!"

(Quote from Crown Prince Abdullah.)

P.S. Top picture: how can bush manage to look more like shit every day? WTF is wrong with his face?

[JDPriestly]

25. And poor Condi

Trailing along behind the men like an ellipsis at the end of a very long, very boring sentence.

[Supersedeas]

31. and she didn't even bother to wear her lying with impuity knee-high boots

[tridim]

42. Poor Jeffie Guckert

He used to make bank during visits like this.. Now he just has a cheesy blog and his "keep quiet or else" paycheck from BushCo.

[dxstone]

139. Bouncy, you funny!

Love your pet name for the goof; and I think we all agree, that description covers nearly ALL of his facial expressions...
Nearly all...

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO

FEAR BUT ME ITSELF!!!

D
more foreboding foolishness at
http://presidentevilonline.com

[seemslikeadream]

10. Remember Gannon's no longer at the White House

to hold his hand
Jeff Georgie Karl mysteryman Scottie Ken Dickie Hannity

[Sydnie]

13. Bush finally got his MAN-DATE

Of course, he had to wait for just the right man -- one with lots of oil and doesn't mind letting him wear the pants in the relationship.

Look at the first picture of Condiliezzalot. She looks like is is in mourning!

[insane_cratic_gal]

18. LOL

Gannon is going to pissed off now!

[yurbud]

16. this is cultural and a red herring

[uppityperson]

88. Exactly.

It may play well to conservative homophobes who are culturally illiterate. And aside from Mr.bush being so culturally sensitive, it's cute, but so what.

[ramblin_dave]

17. As they gaze into each other's eyes....

I wonder what each is really thinking....

[insane_cratic_gal]

23. I'll give you Oil

You promise to ride me like a MadSteer in a rodeo!

you just need to start a whole new thread for that put up "caption me!"

[SlavesandBulldozers]

85. and thus a thousand photoshops are born.

i think i'm going to be sick.

[Maple]

19. Americans can be very

insular

[BlueEyedSon]

20. Oops, I thought you wrote "blows".....

[yurbud]

21. inaccurate innuendo makes real ones seem less valid

stick to Gannon for gay angle.

[Stephanie]

37. Excuse me, but who made any innuendos about any gay angle?

These are news photos. I posted them without comment. The innuendo is your own.

[yurbud]

41. others did

[wicket]

28. If John Kerry ever did something like this...

...just imagine their reaction. :eyes:

[JNelson6563]

29. I see Condi knows her place

A few steps back and keeping her head down, like a good woman should.

Ugh.

Julie

[MuseRider]

32. Cheney looks like hell

very ill. What is Condi doing? Was she shoved off into the flood? The boys keeping their feet dry and Condi in the water?

[Sanity Claws]

70. Cheney does look terrible

I wasn't sure it was him. He looks like he waddles.

[BikeWriter]

34. "Saudi Culture and Customs" A reference

"Saudi men often greet each other with kisses, but Saudi men usually just shake hands with foreign men unless they are close friends."

"Men sometimes hold hands with each other in Saudi Arabia (although not with women in public). Holding hands with another man is a sign of friendship, with no sexual connotations."
http://teachsaudi.3dmega.com/culture.htm

[leftofthedial]

35. why are the Saudis the only ones with whom

the little bushturd behaves in a culturally sensitive way?

He seems to go out of his way to insult everyone else around the world by behaving in as socially insulting a manner as possible.

[Bouncy Ball]

38. Now THAT is a good damn question.

Personally I think the Crown Prince just takes his hand, whether Chimpy McCokespoon likes it or not. Also, remember how much the bush family is in bed with the Saudis.

[Bridget Burke]

Yes, that's the question....

Chimpy goes out of his way to be rude & culturally ignorant--with everybody else.

All of a sudden, he's a sensitive, cosmopolitan fellow.

[Bridget Burke]

49. Yes, that's the question....

Chimpy goes out of his way to be rude & culturally ignorant--with everybody else.

All of a sudden, he's a sensitive, cosmopolitan fellow.

[europegirl4jfk]

120. No, Bush offered his hand first!

I saw it on CNNi today several times. Bush offered his hand to the Saudi and the prince took it. It was definitely Bush's initiative.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

87. that's the question

and its one that answers itself.

[Lars39]

115. He looks more relaxed/natural holding hands with the prince

than he ever has with Laura.
I wonder how many years back this friendship goes?
How many summers did Bush spend with the Saudi royals?
How many beheadings did he see?

[Sanity Claws]

36. The two old farts in the fifth picture

Who are they? I was wondering whether the white-haired guy was Cheney. You usually don't see both Cheney and AWOL in the same place.

[Dawgs]

40. Bush looks way too happy in this picture...

I don't know too many straight men that would be this comfortable holding hands with another grown man.

[Stephanie]

43. Most important text in caption:

"Bush is expected to praise the kingdom's efforts to fight terrorism"

Oh.

[norml]

45. Here are my threads on this in LBN & GDP.

[AmandaRuth]

46. hey freepers

want to see a picture of your idol holding hands with a leader of a country that financed the murder of 3,000 Americans?

[Stephanie]

48. And he's thanking him for his efforts on terrorism

You bet he's thanking him.

[BikeWriter]

78. There's no doubt in my mind!

[SlavesandBulldozers]

89. i'll just copy and paste what you said because it hasn't been put any bett

hey freepers want to see a picture of your idol holding hands with a leader of a country that financed the murder of 3,000 Americans?

[merbex]

47. These pix would be hystericall funny if it wasn't so pathetic

They did make me laugh because it looks like they aren't going to let go of each other

[Frederik]

118. They aren't.

[begin_within]

50. Bush is dying to peek under the white cloth to see if the guy is bald.

[Octafish]

51. Send copies to the turd Tom LaHaye.

Wouldn't want him to be left behind, especially on the hand-holding, kissie-poo stuff.

[Roland99]

52. Awww...SO cute together!!

[Sparkly]

58. Could you imagine if that'd been John Kerry holding hands with Abdullah

instead of the Chimp? There'd be hysteria!!

[Stephanie]

60. Bush is learning to relax into it

Last time he looked uncomfortable, but now he is happy and relaxed.

[Straight Shooter]

62. The prince has barely aged, but the chimp looks much deteriorated.

It must break his heart when he looks in the mirror. Bwahahahaha!

[Stephanie]

67. it doesn't seem to have affected their relationship

they are still happy together

... don't come a-knockin'!

[MsTryska]

98. *lmao*!

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the casbah way........

[AuntiBush]

68. OIL HEAD WEDS TIN-FOIL HEAD

Jeezus!

Well, there ya go. The marriage is finalized. Oil marries Tin-Foil down on the ranch. :puke: Holding hands, kissing-up. Laura must be boozing it up w/Miss Beasely.

Bye-Bye, American as we once knew it. We'd better start learning a new language.

[AuntiBush]

72. What else does he have to do for gas prices to "GO DOWN!?!"

Ya know... ;)

Don't know whether to laugh or cry these days.

[digno dave]

75. Saudis reem our asses at the pump and Shrub holds their dick when they pee

disgusting

[Fleshdancer]

79. they just ruined a perfectly good picture of bluebonnets n/t

:(

[tedzbear]

82. Bush is holding hands, hoping that the prince won't give it to him in...

...the ass (other words, let the price of oil move above $55 a barrel). But talk is cheap and even tho the prince promises to use his 1 million spare capacity to keep prices down, he doesn't mean it.

He is no fool. Alan Greenspan is holding interest rates down and flooding the world with too many dollars (inflation) so it only makes good business sense for the Saudis to demand more dollars for their oil.

Anyway, homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is punishable by flogging and life in prison or worse. I doubt that the prince is doing anything that would be misconstrued as homo erotic in his homeland. Besides, the prince is ugly. I would think the chimp finds his butt boy Gannon a lot more desirable in that department.

:bounce:

[SlavesandBulldozers]

92. i hope this gets round the clock media coverage

I think I will watch Fox tonight to see if it gets coverage. One only hopes they really push this story of our great president strolling in the meadow with a saudi monarch.

t will do wonders for his numbers, if ya know what i mean.

[MsTryska]

93. I don't care whether it's culturally appropriate or not....

i think it's time we use homosexual fear and bigotry to our own advantage.



the shots of dubya kissing and holding hands with an AY-Rab should be splashed on every surface available.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

95. who cares if its an "AY-RAB"

and i do understand you were being sarcastic.

The arabness is beside the point.

[MsTryska]

96. no it's not.......

the wars we've been in have had a decidely racist undertone as far as the chickenhawks go.

and one "raghead" is as good as any other "raghead"



granted i'd much rather he was holding hands and playing kissyface with osama bin laden - but the King of Saud will have to do.

[WLKjr]

94. Why don't we just fuck them too???

I mean WTF!?!?! why do we have to cuddle with these people and kiss thier ass?



I guess this is what people wanted. Myself however was intrigued at the notion of bio diesel this afternoon after listening to Ed Schultz and a guest he had on who was using it and knows a little bit (actaully a lot) about the whole deal. Sounded like we need to start educating people a bit more about this and get the production up even more, I would switch in a heartbeat if it could be made for my sunfire.

[MsTryska]

99. oh don't worry.....

i'm not sure who's getting bent over with a reacharound....or if it's jsut a simple clusterfuck, but somebody's definitely getting fucked.

[bullwinkle428]

97. I guess he's trolling for new propspects

now that Gannon's been busted!

[Stinky The Clown]

100. Forget the hand holding ... 1 Question ..... where's Poppy?

No evil gets done with Abdullah 'less Poppy's there.

[chookie]

101. What is Mr Rove trying to say with this photo-op?

It's got to be a little risky for Macho Man Frat Boy George to be seen engaging in cheek kissing and hand-holding with a man, at least when seen by an American audience, which for various reasons (which it is not my point here to debate the validity thereof) is uncomfortable with such "foreign" customs.

Mr Rove and Mrs hughes have got to know this tender moment is going to freak out a lot of George's core supporters....

I remember that Jimmy Carter participated in the face-kissing greeting behavior with men from other countries and was ridiculed for it, and that Ronald Reagan refused to, and was applauded.

So why did they allow it? Who exactly is this image aimed at, and what is its message? Is it to bolster Prince Abdullah in his own land, by showing him all cosy with the guy with the nukes and the biggest army in history? If so, Princey Boy must have some pretty big problems for George to pose with him in this manner. Is it to say that George's warm friendship with P.A. will end the gas price gouging, so quit moaning? Is this purely a facade, because gas prices in the US have nothing to do with Saudi production, but with refineries outside that nation, and price gouging by American oil companies -- but they want The Sheeple to think it's production?

Does George W kiss Chirac? (Or does Chirac not even dare to initiate such a greeting?) Interesting if he does not -- when he is obviously extremely comfortable doing so with his buddy P.A.

[Falalalalala]

102. escorting the Prince

GB is a gentleman all the way....the prince wears a skirt and thus the gentleman takes the hand of the "lady" to dance her through the Texas bluebonnets.....smiles....

[tedzbear]

103. Yes, but the lady is fucking the chimp in the ass selling...

...him $55 a barrel oil. A regular Arab Myra Breckenridge!

Muhahahahahahahahaha!

[brettdale]

104. Love is in the air

Everywhere I look around. So Bush is holding hands with a man whos country still stones women to death, so much for the culture of life.

[Bombero1956]

106. Oh Pickles

I've found somebody new, and he's got something you don't have......oil!!!

[brettdale]

Hand in hand through the Texas bluebonnets. Next they'll Tiptoe through the Tulips.

111. It's so sweet! Maybe he'll change his stand on gay marriage.

[Maru Kitteh]

112. Saud - day my prince will come...............

Hmmmmmmmm hmmmmm hmm hmmmmm hmm hmm. La laaaaaaaaa la la laa laaaa.

What a horrible Disney movie this will make.

[paineinthearse]

113. New photo

Something surreal about this one. Almost looks photoshopped.

[BikeWriter]

122. They're holding hands in that one, too. Cute.

[Stephanie]

129. that's not new - that's from 2003

but notice he's so much more comfortable with the hand-holding now...

[lanlady]

136. this was on Unger's book cover

[SoCalDemGrrl]

119. Can I buy the poster at Walmart??

I'd like to send one to a few freepers I know!!

[gardenista]

121. Well, like MM says, "Who's Yo Daddy?" I bet he agreed to put on his

lil' flight suit for the prince after Laura goes to bed tonite.

[MontageOfFreedom]

126. I could have done without seeing this closeup. The smirking. nt

[deacon]

127. his man-date- goes to show you how both of these guys love

jamming it to hard working americans that have to pay more money for gas to get to work.

They look happy together.

[deacon]

128. thats tellin' him george! thats fighting for americans! God help us n/t

[Lab2112]

130. A Close Relationship

If there ever were any doubt, now it can no longer be disputed.

America walks hand-in-hand with Saudi Arabia, and by extension, gives tacit approval to everything the latter does. Even if the Sauds were directly behind Nick Berg's beheading and had regular brunches with Osama Bin Laden, the oil sheiks have nothing to fear.

You see, ONLY Iraq was the real threat, and, as Duelfer concluded, they had no WMD's, which made Saddam an even bigger threat.

Uh... yeah, that works!

LAB

[CO Liberal]

134. These Call For Some CAPTIONS!!!!

Kiss-kiss!!


You look lovely in that towel!


Ohh, Prince - I feel all tingle-fied inside!!!


And once I ditch Laura, we can have the minister stand here....

[many a good man]

135. He comes from a long line of Sheikh-kissers

You know the crown prince is 81 years old?
