[Bluebear]

U.S. President George W. Bush leaves ahead of the other leaders of the 21 member countries of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation after the end of the closing ceremony of their annual meeting in La Moneda Palace, in Santiago, November 21, 2004.

[liberal N proud]

1. If I were those countries, I would be careful

They are messing with a someone who has a MAN-DATE and was appointed by GOD.
That pic is great, the sore looser goes off the stage in a saulk.

[LittleClarkie]

20. Let his man date talk to him then

Just a gigalo... everywhere I go...

[DemBones DemBones]

52. Some say that his MAN-DATE is

Victor Ashe.

[imenja]

2. Is there an accompanying article?

do you have the link?

[Bluebear]

5. No accompanying article

Just the news photo.

[Chicago Democrat]

3. Fantastic Photo....

F-Y, W!

[tridim]

4. Every Bush pic looks photoshopped now

but they're not.. Unreal.

That pic speaks volumes.

[Bluebear]

6. Isn't that true???

You can't make this stuff up!

[Spinzonner]

7. Its actually quite amazing

how much classlessness can be contained in but one man

[Pepper32]

8. Aww... No one wants to play with Bush. Don't they know he has a mandate?

this pic is priceless!

[Diotima]

18. I Guess GW is Learning That

MANDATES don't translate into international relations...

Great Picture

[luaneryder]

9. Representative of how the

US relates to the rest of the world. That photo says much.

[marew]

10. If I saw * walking towards me down the street...

I'd definitely cross the street to get away from the jerk. He will never get it. Of course, when you are specially ordained by God to spread "freedom" I guess you just can't relate to the rest of us mortals.

12. tisk, tisk, tisk.

see what happens when you're not a team player Georgisita!

:nopity:

[flordehinojos]

13. are they shunning him, or is he shunning them?

they certainly are not kissing his @ss--that's for sure--except for Peru's Toledo who looks like he might be ready to go after Bush.

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. They don't even seem to notice he's leaving.

If it was big Dawg, they'd be hanging from his elbows.

[Warpy]

16. That's what struck me as weird, too

One or more should have been turned in his direction, even if he'd been leaving as a matter of course and perfectly naturally. Instead, he's being treated like the new kid in middle school.

Clinton was different, a man with both wit and charisma. All Bush has going for him is a kind of frat boy, back slapping, good ole boy thing, which doesn't go far in sophisticated circles among real world leaders.

[underseasurveyor]

15. Aw poor dumbya. Don't go away mad....

Just GO AWAY :bounce:
Probably going to go tell mommy how mean those other kids are.

[gulfcoastliberal]

17. What an embarrassing excuse of a president.

No wonder the entire world hates us now.

[nostamj]

19. a slight adjustment - for stature accuracy... ;-)

[Dem2theMax]

47. Oh that is priceless! Thank you for 'correcting' that slight

inaccuracy. :evilgrin:

And you know what? Even though it's to make fun of him, it really is the truth. He is a very small man, in all the ways that SHOULD count if you are going to be pResident of the USA.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. He wasn't leavin' ..... he hadda pee

[sonicx]

22. He doesn't need friends. Jesus talks to him.

[stevedeshazer]

23. Bill Clinton at an earlier APEC conference, fifth from left

See a difference?

[Kahuna]

24. LOL!

:7

[grasswire]

25. I'm sorry you gave up your user name

I'll miss seeing plastic_turkeys. It was one of the best laughs of the last four years.

[Bluebear]

26. NOW everyone tells me lol

I thought it would be passe by now, seeing as though we would have a new President and all. Dammit!

[senseandsensibility]

28. Yeah, I was gonna say that too

I really liked the plastic turkeys thing. And even if it became passe eventually, it would serve as a reminder of what a fake, phoney poser * is. You could have fun explaining it to new members. Oh well, just my two cents.

[Straight Shooter]

34. I'll add my vote to that, I miss plastic_turkeys

But I don't know if my vote will count

:silly:

[grasswire]

36. change it back!

Maybe you can.

[Bluebear]

39. Just out of curiosity I attempted and got:

'Error: You've already changed your name, you cannot change it again.'

So you're stuck with me :)

[Dem2theMax]

48. I even PM'd and cried about it. lol.

I want my plastic turkeys! lol.
Some things around here are just too important to mess with.
And too funny to mess with too. lol. ;)

[BamaLefty]

27. Countdown

How many days till he invades them? Dumbass Bush!

[judaspriestess]

29. I get the impression

ol "go fuck yourself" cheney and
Rove are yanking on his chain.
come back and sit boy!

[Jack Bone]

30. Had to go and change his receiver's batteries?

He lost contact w/ ground control...maybe he should've used Energizer?

[Stephanie]

31. Pathetic little man in his high heel shoes

It's even harder to look at him now. I feel physically ill at the sight of him.

[JPZenger]

32. Bush Apparently Never Had Been Overseas Being 2001

I don't believe George W. Bush had ever been in another country until after he entered the White House. That shows you what an international thinker he is.

[alcuno]

38. I think he was in Italy for his honeymoon.

Stop impugning his foreign policy credentials.

[newyawker99]

50. LOL!!

Good one al! :thumbsup:

[Oreo]

53. Give him a break...

He had been to Mexico!

One of the things that I thought was so pathetic in 2000 was that I had been to more countries than this dumbass. Typical ignorance of the rest of the world. We don't need them! I hope Blair gets the boot and the UK pulls out of Iraq

[Generator]

33. The reason is because Bush doesn't speak a common language

with them, you know, English.

[hippiechick]

35. "WAAAAAAAH They don't like my WAR !!!"

Poor Georgie. The popular kids don't like him cause he's rich and spoiled rotten.


:hippie:

[GetTheRightVote]

42. Gees you guys don't you want to play with schrub ??

can't-play-nice-george gets his ass kicked out by the community.

doesn't he look like a struttin' fat headed fat bottomed boy?

what a blemish on humanity.

[LiberteToujours]

46. That is a perfect metaphor

For the state of the nation internationally ... perfect.

[Buns_of_Fire]

49. Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
