Photo of * needing help down some stairs today.

[Kadie]

Archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick (R) helps U.S. President George W. Bush down a step outside the St. Matthews Cathedral in Washington, October 2, 2005. Bush and new U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts had joined other dignitaries for the 52nd annual Red Sunday Mass, the traditional Sunday morning religious service on the eve of the new Supreme Court Session. Roberts will preside over the Supreme Court for the first time on October 3. REUTERS/Yuri Gripas

1. Things that make you go hmmmm. n/t

[Dunvegan]

12. Is there an ajective extant that can precisely describe...

..that chin-jutting, grisle-gumming, rictus-grin/grimace on *'s face in the second photo?

Whisky. Tango. Foxtrot?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

14. Yes, I saw that

I think the term is "demented."

[meganmonkey]

35. You just made me

snort, literally

:rofl:

[pscot]

32. Why this need to hold hands with men wearing skirts?

Is he crying out for an intervention of some sort?

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Pretty telling isn't it? The Archbishop helping * down the step??

Which one is the feeble old man???

[wellstone_democrat]

7. the much *older* Archbishop helping him down the steps

that's pretty odd. Bush* is clearly leaning on the old man to steady himself.

too much communion wine?

[Lisa]

39. also, if the Archbishop has his own private mountain-biking trail ...

... and private gym facilities (as * does, and his people constantly brag about how fit he is) .... I'll eat his mitre.

[MojoXN]

3. Drunk much?

4. What is wrong with *

It is too early for the bottle...

[Scurrilous]

8. Altar wine? n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

9. IF it is the bottle we are seeing...and not brain damage.

[astonamous]

5. What is with that look on his face in the second picture?

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Grinding his teeth.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

15. I'VE GOT IT!

He is pinching the preacher's ass!

[BrklynLiberal]

21. *'s face reminds me of Nicholson in "The Shining"

When I went to find the picture of Jack, I found this. Someone else had already thought of the comparison, even without this latest picture of *.

[Richard Steele]

25. No one really needed to Photoshop that; have you seen this one?

ACTUAL photo of B*sh aboard Air Force One:

[BrklynLiberal]

42. Wow! THAT is scary!!!!

[CatholicEdHead]

41. The evil smirk

that is what also caught my eye. He is gloating over this.

[formercia]

6. That's the same McCarrick who is Chaplain to the Knights of Malta

Funny, I keep seeing these little maltese crosses, my vision must be going..........

[Renew Deal]

10. That's a bad suit.

He's got to have better threads than that. ;)

[globalvillage]

17. Doesn't he look like a flight attendant in that suit?

Those little bottles do add up.

[wakeme2008]

19. I think it is time for a diet for *

I bet the suit fit a year ago. :rofl:

[Stephanie]

28. It's his bullet proof vest

I can see it

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Does that "(R)" next to McCarrick's name mean Republican?? bwahaha

"Archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick (R) helps U.S. President George W. Bush "

[Minimus]

20. They had to use (R) for all the bush worshipers

Since he is such a Christian they might think he's the one on the right wearing the robe.

[Zynx]

27. Most of Bush's supporters would flip out if they saw him in Catholic garb.

There is a strong hatred of Catholics among the rank and file hard core Protestant Republicans. I saw it first hand in my area after JPII died.

[Rex]

16. Roberts is saying we will put a camera in every home so that

no one will get away with "shenanigans" ever again - the archbishop is laughing at the idea and Boosh is doing a hyena laugh because he believes it.

[tuvor]

18. If you say so.

Doesn't look that cut 'n' dried to me.

I mean, maybe bush just spotted a quarter on the ground that a beggar accidentally dropped as he passed by.

[Skip Intro]

22. WTF are athe all smiling about? n/t

[Renew Deal]

23. The Rapture®

:sarcasm:

[Zynx]

24. Catholics almost never take the Book of Revelation seriously.

I have never even heard about the rapture while attending a Catholic mass. There have been times when the Catholic Church has considered throwing the Book of Revelation out of the Bible.

[abandoned]

31. For more info about Rapture

Try Wikipedia, basically the idea of Rapture came about after the Protestant Reformation and because Catholic dogma was well established by that time the idea was not incorporated into their teachings.

Something interesting about that link is that the Rapturists (seems like a good word to use) point to a few more verses then just those in Revelations, havent really studied religion in a few years so I don't know how far out of context those verses are.

[CatholicEdHead]

40. Generally that is the case

as it is only used twice in Gospel readings over the three year cycle.

Yet today's comments by BXVI are a bit unsettling.

"
But the threat of judgment affects us also, the Church in Europe, the Church of the West in general. With this Gospel the Lord also cries out in our ears the words he addressed in Revelation to the Church in Ephesus: "I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place, unless you repent" (2:5). The light can also be taken away from us, and we would do well to allow this warning in all its seriousness to resonate in our souls, crying out at the same time to the Lord: "Help us to be converted! Give us the grace of an authentic renewal! Do not permit the light to be extinguished among us! Reinforce our faith, our hope and our love so that we can bear good fruit!"

[havocmom]

26. Maybe he had his BIG CLOWN shoes on

[Lubernaut]

30. He wears them to church now too?

[yella_dawg]

29. Look at pic #2

and tell me that twisted little son-of-a-bitch doesn't look just like Beavis.

on edit: typo

[Dunvegan]

43. Nope...He's a perfect double...

Heh...heh...heh...heh...you're named Bush, and your vice dude is named Dick...heh...heh....

[Rose Siding]

33. He can go *up* the stairs all by himself!

[Buns_of_Fire]

34. Pic #1: "Wait a minute. Gotta make sure the ol' fly is zipped up."

Pic #2: The three revelers enjoy a good laugh after the Archbishop pulled the old "pull my finger" joke on the president. The president is thinking how enjoyable it'll be when he pulls all tax exemptions from the Catholic Church as soon as he gets back to the White House.

[msongs]

36. wow, WITCHES in red outfits....groovy man n/t

[SpiralHawk]

37. Not in his body.

Check your aurascope, and so ye shall see.

Not in his body.

[The Gunslinger]

38. The most drunk........err I mean fit president ever.....nt
