Cleland's Arm?

[3 Cents and Change]

Why did Cleland roll his sleeve up and show his arm in all the news appearances today? In the past he always wore coats that covered the wound.







I've just never seen him with his wound out in the open. Was this a political move?

[MGKrebs]

1. Because it was hot?

[bigtree]

5. God awful hot there in Crawford.

Nothing but huge jackrabits, mosquitos, and crickets the size of mice.

2. He's earned the right to exploit it. nt

[Pirate Smile]

3. He has not always worn coats. I've seen him on TV or in pictures looking

that way.

What exactly is your problem with it? Hmmm

[3 Cents and Change]

6. It seemed weird.

Obviously, it seemed like a pretty weird, almost like he was exploiting it.

[blondeatlast]

10. See post #2. He's earned the right, IMHO. nt

[Pirate Smile]

12. Should he hide it instead?

He is a link (I don't know how to post the picture directly) with him in similar clothes.

24. off topic- The Journey was an amazing film!

Don't know many other people who have seen it. :hi:

You put a <-i-m-g-> in front and a <-/-i-m-g->

29. Thanks for the info.

[Hepburn]

42. Max in short sleeves:

[hlthe2b]

22. Oh, yeah... I'm sure he's just "showing off."

Who wouldn't with no lower limbs and only one arm! Geez.....

[oasis]

27. He's displaying war wounds. The focus of the SBV debate is war wounds.

[mzmolly]

31. What seems *weird* is this post. What seems weird is Bush exploiting 911

and his failure to protect America from terrorists at his convention. :hi:

[JuniperLea]

4. levon wears his war wound like a crown...

too bad he has to prove something... sad, very sad that he is made to feel he has to do this.

[jonnyblitz]

7. strange thing to comment on...

were you offended or something? oh well...:eyes:

[3 Cents and Change]

9. It was strange...

...to roll up his sleeve to show the wound when typically he keeps it covered.

Forgive me for noticing and commenting on it.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

36. Yeah, VERY strange.

Now that you've pointed it out, it does appear to me that Cleland might, perhaps, be a tad mentally unstable! "Wild-eyed", even.

The really strange thing here is that out of all the things that have happened on this wild day in politics, you've chosen THIS -- Max Cleland and how he chooses to cover or not cover his three missing limbs -- as something worthy of pointing out on a DEMOCRATIC board.

[blondeatlast]

11. I was wondering that myself... nt

[SeveneightyWhoa]

8. Whether it was "political" or not..

..why does it seem to bother you?

Do you have a problem with Max Cleland that you'd like to tell us about?

[Jim Sagle]

13. Maybe he's afraid it'll hurt "us" politically.

;-)

[3 Cents and Change]

15. Just delete the post.

Nobody wants to even think of talking about it.

[3 Cents and Change]

14. WTF?

Can a person not comment on something?

Damn, there are some sensitive people around here.

Forget I asked.

[Pirate Smile]

17. While campaigning for Kerry he hasn't really been wearing suits. He did

most of the time when he was a Senator.

[3 Cents and Change]

18. Thank you.

I just noticed his arm was out today and looked up pictures on him to see if that was a normal thing. Evidently it is now.

[ParanoidPat]

43. Had time to look up pictures......

......but no time to check the weather? :shrug:

Here, I did it for you! :evilgrin:

If you're thinking of heading on down that way, remember to dress appropriately! :)

[blondeatlast]

20. Then ask the mods to remove the thread. Cleland's a true hero;

he can do anything he wants to with his arm, dammit.

[3 Cents and Change]

23. I did.

After my "delete this post" post.

He's a hero, yes. If he decided to walk around naked, I would still wonder what the fuck he was doing. Yes, that was quite strange to see today and no, I'm not embarassed to ask why.

[parasim]

33. Yeah, I would wonder that too...

I, too, would wonder what the fuck he was doing if he were to walk around naked...
seeing that he doesn't have any legs!

[blondeatlast]

34. Curiouser and curiouser...

Nice catch--I missed it!

[Uzybone]

40. LOL....damn I sprayed water on my screen at that one

I know I know its not really funny...but damn!

[MoonRiver]

16. Crawford is hot as hell.

But then, maybe it is hell. After all, the devil lives there.

[cheshire]

19. To use to whoop some Bushes into shape

[Leilani]

21. I think every American should see it!!

They should also see returning coffins...

And they should see the current Iraq wounded & maimed: paralyzed, amputees, blind, brain damaged, & burned.

War is hell! War talk is cheap!

Perhaps if people saw the carnage, they would think twice before going to war, based on lies.

[newsguyatl]

25. for somebody "just wondering"

you sure did go out of your way to find and post pictures of cleland.

does it bother you that he rolled it up? do you think he's exploiting his OWN WOUNDS that he's lived with for more than half his life?


oh, just wondering.

[PretzelWarrior]

28. to show the secret police he was unarmed. LOL.

I like calling them secret police and I like making fun of trolls who start sh!t.

[alphafemale]

30. He was originally going to go in "Speedos" and a towel.

And ask that he and George discuss the issue while lounging by the "concrete pond."

He decided to scale back. :silly:

[Cuban_Liberal]

32. Because it's hot as Hell in TX in August...

Same reason he didn't wear a parka.

:P

[bobbyboucher]

35. Afraid to look at it?

Who gives a fuck?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

38. 3 Cent does.

Clearly, Democratic war veterans who support Kerry and have lost limbs in battle, are disturbing and "political" when they show those scary limbs off in public.

Disgraceful, Max Cleland, DIS-GRACE-FUL!

Right, 3 Cent? Maybe Max should apologize. I think 3 Cent would agree with me there.

[LiberalBushFan]

37. Yeah, that is strange.

Why did he roll up his sleeves when he went sit out in the sun in Texas, because when I see him in air-conditioned rooms he doesn't do that. This is awfully suspicious.

[blondeatlast]

39. And to visit a ranch, no less...

:eyes:

[PretzelWarrior]

41. FUCK Cleland's arm. Is it your personal phallic symbol?

Is it turning you on and bringing out homoerotic feelings? Go fuck off with your questions. According to the 2nd amendment, he does have the right to bare arms.
