[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Wait a minute...is CNN trying to infer that the bike mishap "metaphorically" represents Bush's IRAQ WAR BATTLE SCARS?

Holy shit...

full CNN story here:

"Bruised Bush battles back"

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/05/24/mon/index.html

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- It's not the image one hopes to project in an internationally televised, prime-time speech. But after weeks of bruising criticism over his handling of Iraq, President Bush will go on TV Monday night with a cut on his upper lip and scrapes on his nose, chin and hand.

With critics roundly questioning his ability to do everything from lead Iraq to ride a bicycle, Bush begins a five-week push Monday to convince Americans that he has a workable plan for Iraq and to persuade foreign leaders to contribute more to the U.S. mission."

2. FUCK CNN ....

They have been 'promoting' Bush's speech since Friday .... Blatant mouthpieces for the party in power .... How sad ....

Anderson Cooper puts a face on this ridiculous charade .... too bad for him .... the slut ....

3. This is Good News

They can no longer maintain the line that Bush is a popular president or the scandals are insignficant. Expect many more of these headlines in the next six months.

9. if he was wearing a helmet " WITH" a chin guard...why was his chin so

scraped up? This does not make sense. Reminds me of the berg video.

11. Looks like the work of Colonel Angus...

...a little tip of the hat to those of you who enjoyed Saturday's "Best of Christopher Walken" on SNL.

:evilgrin:

skits I've seen on SNL in years! I saw it the first time around and was thrilled to see it again on Saturday.

19. right, and who wears a mouth guard while biking?

seriously, maybe highly competative professinoal mountain bikers, but normal people?

7. Perhaps you mean...

what isn't between his ears?

[Skittles]

15. I know what's between his eyes: nothing

they are practically touching

[Beetwasher]

8. Uhh, This is TERRIFIC!!!

This is NOT a good image for Bush. Beaten, literally bruised and on the defensive!!!! This is VERY symbolic and VERY bad for him. He's becoming an object of scorn and ridicule!

With critics roundly questioning his ability to do everything from lead Iraq to ride a bicycle,

12. Yep, that's the line to remember for your grandkids...

"With critics roundly questioning his ability to do everything from lead Iraq to ride a bicycle"

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

Worst...president...EVER.

10. "Bruised Bush to Broadcast Bullshit"

13. Too bad the limbless and dead Iraqi children cannot.

When will Dictator Bush, et al. be tried for treason?

14. Are there photos available of junior riding a bike on this particular day?

The world knows junior can't ride a horse.
The world knows junior can't ride a Segway.
Laura sez on most nights junior falls off.

So who thinks junior can ride a bike?


Drunks only look like this!

17. Falling flat on his face in more ways than one n/t

18. bruised but battling back ... but, is he the antiChrist?

a story like this 'Bruised Bush Battles Back', now, makes me wonder if they purposely smashed him up for PR effect, IAW some Rove - Hill & Knowlton (I think younger Barbara landed a job there) cunning plan :tinfoilhat:

is this when the Antichrist will appear to be mortally wounded and comes back to life?
