Hey lady! Put a leash on that brat.

[ohiosmith]

[Sannum]

1. ooooh. If I behaved like that when I was his age..

I would've gotten a whoopin'

[Shoeempress]

2. Ditto

[philosophie_en_rose]

5. And the little kid looks rowdy too.

[ohiosmith]

6. My ass still stings from the one and only time I acted like that in public

And that was 50 years ago.

[Not_Giving_Up]

7. I would have been

bruised badly the next day. My parents loved Dobson!

[Not_Giving_Up]

3. Notice that the child's father is looking at the mother

Shame on her for letting him behave that way!

You'd think they'd know that the kid acts like that, and not put him out there like that. I have a child who can't stand still without being glued to the floor. I wouldn't expect him to stand there. Of course, you'd have to go up there without ANY kids, but so what?

[Pirate Smile]

14. Or make an appearance with them at the end but for Gods sake don't

force the kid to have to listen to a Shrub speech. How Cruel!

I feel for the child.

[Not_Giving_Up]

17. Exactly

They're using the kids for the whole "Look How Traditional We Are" bit. Poor kids!

[neuvocat]

4. Way to win over the public, huh?

The guy can't get his child to behave and he looks like a dork.

[gmoney]

8. Jasper says:

Talking out of turn… that's a paddlin’
Looking out the window... that's a paddlin’
Staring at my sandals... that's a paddlin’
Paddlin’ the school canoe… oh, you better believe that's a paddlin’

[OhioBlue]

9. Could she have tried any harder

to look like Jackie Kennedy?

[matcom]

10. FUCK YES!!

[Neshanic]

11. Wished that kid would whip around and scream at monkey...

"AWWW Your mom wears army boots....SCRAM!"

[napi21]

12. OH for God sake, he's a little kid acting like a little kid!

He's just being normal! We all hope our kids act what we consider perfectly while in public, especially if they're on national TV, but it rarely happens!!! Mom did what she had to and took him in the back room.

No harm, no foul. Quit being such crab a**es!

[ohiosmith]

20. A spoiled little brat acting like a spoiled little brat is more like it.

[LisaL]

46. I am pretty sure you don't have kids.

WTF do you expect from a kid?

[roguevalley]

31. A child his age should be trained to stand still for a few moments in

public. There is no excuse for a kid without mental problems standing still. My mom did it with four kids. This kid is an idiot. Reminds me of Guiliani's kid.

[Reciprocity]

42. Now those puppies of yours looks like trouble.n/t

[Reciprocity]

41. If it is acceptable

to wear flip-flops at the White House. Then I say this child can dance his heart out.

[RPM]

13. which one - the one at the podium?

[RetroLounge]

15. She looks like Jackie Kennedy

Except without the good looks, upbringing, taste, poise, charm or character.

IOW, a Stepford wannabe...

RL

[KG]

16. a truly frightful hairdo.

[Darth_Kitten]

28. she could hurt somebody with that hair.

[CatWoman]

18. Ohiosmith

prepare to be invaded by the humor snatchers

[ohiosmith]

21. Thanks for the warning CatWoman. Bring it on!

[Lorien]

38. Yep-it's today's topic of nonstop petty flame wars

if you criticize, then you must be a know-it-all embarrassment to all liberals who hates kids and has no kids of your own and you don't know a "cute" outfit when you see one and you don't care about real issues and you're no better than a Freeper who was nasty to Chelsea and aren't you a big stinky stupid poopoo head!

Whew! Did I leave anything out?

[LisaL]

48. Well, if you do have kids, you would know they don't like to

sit still or stay still.
Would you expect your cat to sit still when introduced to Bush?
Then why do you expect it from a kid?
He looks about 4. I doubt he understands what is going on.

[Lorien]

50. I really don't think it was the kid that most objected to

after all, it's not the kid who is responsible for his behavior at that age-it's his parents. 9pm is too late for a photo op.

IMO-what captures attention there is the bizarre juxtapositions; the oddly anachronistic 1950's attire, combined with the very, er, "modern" behavior of the boy. Couple that with the subdued, almost sullen expressions of the mother and girl-sharp contrast to the boy's wild exuberance. One wonders what went on right BEFORE they walked out in front of the cameras, and what sort of family dynamics are taking place at home.

[Piperay]

19. I feel sorry for those kids

growing up with a father who has such archaic views on issues.

[A HERETIC I AM]

22. I question the judgement of anyone with such horribly antiquated taste

in clothes that they would dress a young boy in a baby blue 3-piece suit and SHORTS!!!!! with saddle oxfords!!!!!! I mean, how fucking 60's can you get? The little girl looks fine but the boy appears to have been plucked from an episode of "Leave it to Beaver"

And you others are right, at that age, all it took was a strong glance from my Dad and i would have straightened RIGHT UP.

[Old_Fart]

23. He is pretending to be *

The kid is doing the Dummy dance "Hey mommy, watch me I'm the pResident".

[ohiosmith]

24. *

[Old_Fart]

25. Thanks for laughing

[A HERETIC I AM]

26. Ok, ok...i have to......

also......


too funny..."The Dummy Dance"

hee hee

"Honey? what are you doing?"

"Beating up on brown people that have oil, mommy!"

[Neshanic]

29. ROTFLMAO! Dummy Dance! That's a keeper!

[Spinzonner]

27. Oh cut him some slack, he's a little boy

I recall that Edward's boy had his moments of antsyness too.

There are important issues with Bush's SCOTUS nomineee, but this aint one of them.

[Dukkha]

30. He'll sentence the kid to Quantanamo Bay

where hell be busting rocks for hating America on TV

[Balbus]

32. LOL!!

That's cute!

[XemaSab]

33. Maybe the kid thinks if he knows enough

cool breakdancing moves, MJ will invite him to stay over at neverland ranch...

[DemGirl7]

34. I've seen worse behavior where I work.

As a college student, I work part time at a dollar store, where I see much worst behavior than this, trust me. By the time I leave the store, it is somewhat in bad shape, especially on the toy aisle. But this brat does need to be controlled.

[Lorien]

39. Then you can relate?

http://www.lonestarbrit.com/fun/BestCommercialEver.mpg

Thanks to Karenina!

[CanuckAmok]

35. Isn't that the new SCOTUS appointee?

I always knew they wore saddle-shoes under their robes.

[MrSlayer]

36. So, we're picking on children now?

The little dude was bored and decided to amuse himself and now he's an out of control brat? Gimmie a break, some of you people need to seriously lighten up. He's a little kid for fuck's sake, leave him alone. Hate his father all you want but I would expect the sort of "I'd beat the tar out of the little bastard" comments from the other side.

[I Have A Dream]

37. Yeah, I have to agree with you. Our fight isn't with the children.

I actually sort of like that he did it -- it couldn't have made B* happy.

[Telly Savalas]

40. No shit. And this was at 9 PM, yeah?

It's unreasonable to expect a young child to behave like an honor guard member at that late an hour.

Besides, if this was supposed to be a serious and dignified ceremony, what the fuck was the president doing there?

[progmom]

43. amen

[NMMNG]

44. Oh dear, a young child unable to tolerate a boring ceremony at 9pm

When he is probably in bed on a normal night. Let's give him some Ritalin so he'll learn to be a nice Stepford child like his sister.

[MisterP]

45. yeah, get him away from behind that podium!

[Telly Savalas]

47. ...

[TroubleMan]

49. It's like that kid on MadTV, Stewart.

"Look what I can do!!"
