Sweet Jesus George..another gash in the old forehead.

[Dees]

Too much New Years Eve or just mere coincidence? Me thinks alcohol is involved.

[WilliamPitt]

1. Pic?

[Dees]

5. Shown in his press conference just now. I'm gunnin for it.

[Kadie]

33. He gets a boo boo, then he needs to show it to the nurses

and press when he visits the wounded soldiers.

[Nictuku]

34. Cheney got out his Wife-Beater T-Shirt Again

They have to keep Georgie-Boy in line somehow!

Sick-em Dick!

[C_U_L8R]

37. Oh poooooooor Bushie

I suppose he wants a Purple Heart for his boo-boo too

[me b zola]

43. It looks like he has another just below the bridge of his nose

Easier to hide with make-up because of how bright red his nose is.

[Neil Lisst]

47. OMG! I can smell the Scotch on his breath in that first shot!

Two feet away.

Look at those eyes! He really got torn up over the holidays.

[Kurovski]

57. It appears his brain was trying to escape

in a desperate effort to seek out more hospitable quarters.

[Inland]

60. "Got this while I was on patrol outside of Da Nang.....

"But I spun around and shot that Jap....I mean that Gook....well, anyway, gotta go plan the rest of Iraqageddon, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!"

[Jeffersons Ghost]

65. Iraqageddon!!!

LOL, too funny... Kinda spooky too, because I swear that's what a surprisingly large segment of maniacal voter is hoping for, down here in the Bible-belt.

[Terran]

62. Damn, his skin looks terrible.

Is it me, or does he look downright mottled? His skin appears to have the texture of cheap leather.

[0007]

70. Texture of cheap leather has more class, you probably meant

to say cheap vinyl or a 1935 cheap oil cloth.

[Castilleja]

91. LOL! n/t

:D

[XemaSab]

92. He has the skin of an elderly man

It's like what you see at old folks' homes.... his skin has little flexibility, or ability to heal itself.

Probably the alcohol, sun damage, or both.

[chicagiana]

69. Surely not MTB related ...

As I recall GW Bush wears a helmet (we've been told). You can't get a cut like that on your forhead while you're wearing a helmet.

[txindy]

82. The expressions on the women's faces are priceless!

He's visiting wounded soldiers - men and women blinded, maimed, etc. while fighting in Iraq - and the baby wants to talk about his scratch. I cannot believe he had the nerve to call it "combat" with a tree on his property while brush-clearing. Why doesn't he just kick the wounded while he's there?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. I can guess, but i want gory details

puhlease!

[Flying Dream Blues]

3. Have a link to a pic? nt

[DoYouEverWonder]

4. OMG, what did he do now?

This man is walking disaster area.

[dooner]

6. Pickles needs to stop beating him up! n/t

[Richard D]

21. It's probably not pickles . . .

. . . think Jeff.

[dooner]

25. oh yeah, forgot about baldie.. n/t

[stepnw1f]

8. What a Beady-Eyed Evil Little Man

And Yes he's drinking again!

[madokie]

12. I don't think he would be allowed on a real work site.

[Karenina]

13. Demolition Man

"I'm A Walking Disaster
I'm a Demolition Man"

ref: The POLICE, Ghosts in the Machine circa '84-5?

[Fla Dem]

19. Looks like his nose took a beating too, but he keeps on ticking..n/t

[Kurovski]

58. "Looks like his nose took a beating too, but he keeps on ticking..."

And if past is prologue, "picking" as well.

[petgoat]

89. The nose looks like an impact wound to me, not a scratch.

Notice how it lines up with another wound on his
cheek, and the cheek is swollen.

[tsuki]

46. It looks like he skinned the side of his face by his eye. n/t

[Cha]

51. Cut himself

shaving? bush is just a freakin' imbecile it wouldn't surprise me.

[Cleita]

75. He said he was attacked by the brush he was clearing.

Yeah, a likely story. He probably fell into it drunk.

[txindy]

80. Officially, he had a "fight" with a cedar tree during brush-clearing

The more intelligent of the two combatants won.

Goooooooooooo, Cedar!

[sasquatch]

7. I wonder if Pickles hit him over the head with a champaign bottle

:shrug:

[0007]

72. ...and his dog Barney chew on junior's tongue after he passed

out, and then pissed in his face.

[Sydnie]

9. Looks like some brush extracted it's revenge!

Good for the cedars!

[Batgirl]

10. cut himself shaving? n/t

[pbartch]

45. Since when did men start shaving their foreheads???

Bush got drunk.....fell down the stairs.....end of story.

Can he be impeached for that???

[orleans]

94. yes--because it is a reoccurring thing with this jerk! n/t

[MrBenchley]

11. Thank God it wasn't a vital organ (snicker)

[zippy890]

14. the brush is fighting back!

he's been waging a personal war on hapless stands of brush on his "ranch", and got a piece in the forehead due to ineptitude with his chainsaw

:rofl:

that would be my gues

[karlrschneider]

42. Check this story out

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5725862&mesg_id=5726317

[TallahasseeGrannie]

15. Oh the stories the Secret Service could tell...

[converted_democrat]

23. I was thinking about that the other day....Imagine what they have seen

and heard over the last couple of years...I know it will never happen, but wouldn't it be great if one would write a tell all. I'd pay big money for something like that!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

26. heck yeah

[Lisa]

66. they've probably suffered injuries too ...

...caused by Bush's carelessness. An earlier poster remarked that Bush wouldn't be allowed on a work site -- and my officemate, who used to give safety courses for national parks staff, told me that anyone fooling around like that would be off her crew! Ridiculous that trained professionals would have to do this, when the situation could simply be avoided by making him follow basic rules.


"Out here, Secret Service agents trained to take the bullet for the president ensure falling trees do not strike him. Some watch the perimeter around Bush, while those closest to him guide cedar away from his head."

http://www.sptimes.com/2002/08/11/Worldandnation/Working_on_range__hel.shtml

[chicagiana]

71. Just imagine ...

A man who cannot successfully fell a tree without endangering himself and others is charged with running the country.

[Gronk Groks]

16. And you wonder why he can't talk in complete sentences...

...How many time does this make in the last 5 years? Three, four, five???? It is starting to look like he may be somewhat 'punched drunk' from the frequent concussions. Along with the cocaine and alcohol he may have lost enough brain cells to be the perfect puppet.:dunce:

What am I saying, he IS the perfect puppet!!!:evilgrin:

Only question is that if we impeach him do we just get the puppet-master in his place???:cry:

[Viva_La_Revolution]

17. BRAIN SURGERY - to replace the chip in his head that has obviously

been mal-functioning.

[ryan_cats]

18. What the hey??

What the hey? I've always thought we had a "Being There" president. His only job is to flack for the hidden powers that be and now he even screws that up by looking like he took a drunken tumble?

Please tell me that the football is in Cheney's blood soaked hands. Much as I despise the man, he knows not to launch a NUKULAR strike. Dipwad would probably destroy civilization trying to order a martini.

[NancyG]

20. Being There. That's perfect.

One of my favorite movies. That would be a great Dem Talking Point. A great word picture.

[kliljedahl]

22. I love that movie

One of my favorites too



Keith’s Barbeque Central

[ryan_cats]

63. I haven't seen it in 20 years.

I haven't seen it in 20 years. I think I might rent it. Peter Sellers was awesome in it I seem to recall.

Sounds like our alki prez partied hard. I knew he couldn't handle his drink.

[thereismore]

24. It's a shaving cut. One pathetic moran. nt

[robbedvoter]

29. Shaving hos FOREHEAD???Curious George indeed!

[thereismore]

40. Yes. Have you seen "Bean the movie?" Rowan Atkinson does

that with an electric shaver, then shaves his tongue as well. Funny stuff.

[Kurovski]

59. Well, consider the fact that he can't tell his elbow from his asshole...

and the "shaving cut" theory begins to hold water.

[Beausoir]

44. LOL!!! Shaving cut. Lol. n/t

[dooner]

27. No wonder he can't think straight.. he has a concussion! n/t

[Bluerthanblue]

28. hate to be a wet blanket, but

his frequent 'accidents' make me wonder if subconsiously he is punishing himself- There is some 'good' in the worst of us- and deep down, he knows, i sincerly believe that he has done an awful lot to be sorry for- but lacks the ability to humble himself publicly or maybe even consciously and admit what he has done- and continue to live in this world.

He's caught in his own life-lies-lost- eternal hell.

And, while i cannot excuse what he's done- i pity him.

[zippy890]

30. Uhh - please don't make the mistake

of pitying George W Bush. He is a war criminal, has abused his office in a criminal and serious way that has led to the worst foreign policy debacle by any president, criminal negligence in the katrina didaster, and illegal wiretapping.

He must be prosecuted for his crimes,

don't pity him, pity tends to be the downfall of liberals & progressive types

[Bluerthanblue]

32. I completely agree that

he's done wrong, and should be held accountable.

But i DO pity him- and am not ashamed to admit that. If compassion or pity is the 'downfall' of the liberal/progressive movement, then let us ALL fall- Let the human race fall under its own selfish 'self' centered, hate and revenge driven race into extinction.

We like to 'demonize' and 'dehumanize' those who do things that fill us with rage, dismay, disgust, and the frustrating reality that 'we' can't 'control' others, and sometimes not even ourselves.

Some of the worst of bush, is inside of you- AMD me- and everyone who lives- some of the best is too. What we choose to nurture, or give 'free-reign' to is what drives us to become people who do their best to build up, or those who do their best to destroy- I'll live as long as i can see the hope of 'building up' community, connectedness, and the mutual good of this world, as what drives me the majority of the time- When and if the day comes, when i believe 'they' are alien to me- that somehow, another human is 'beneath' me- then i'll opt out of this life. Because then i cease to be human- or of any value to this world.

It is a promise i've made to myself, that i will keep. No matter what- we all f...k up- and we all do some good... i could be a powerful instrument of harm- or good- as we all can. But if i cease to see my potential to 'be' what i most detest, then its time for me to stop be- ing.

[zippy890]

35. I'm not into revenge either

its one of the worst of human qualities.

I do believe that there are times when we must hold fast and strong to the objective view of what people have done, and hold them accountable, and to give in to pity where it will not lead to productive, or deserving actions is a big mistake.

some culpable people do deserve pity. bush does not by virtue of his outrageous and criminal abuse of the authority of his office.

[TankLV]

83. Speak for yourself.

I and most others here DO NOT have ANY of the COUNTLESS negative qualities this piece of scum has.

[Bluerthanblue]

86. you have the potential

within you to do exactly as he has done- to deny that is to lie to yourself.
That you, and most of us here CHOOSE not to do what he has done, is something I'm happy to be in agreement with you on. But if you think, like many human beings do- Like bush himself claims, that "they"- ( are animals, or monsters, or sub/inhuman) that you are POTENTIALLY any different than bush- or bin ladin, tim mc veigh or any other human that has ever lived, is to deny your humanity- and the only person you are fooling is yourself.

I am speaking for myself- as you are. I am also speaking the truth as i KNOW it to be- as uncomfortable as that may make us all feel. Truth isn't always comfortable. But it is always necessiary for positive change, and breaking out of negative and deadly patterns.

If you refuse to see the ways in which all humans are connected, and deny any negative qualities in yourself or those you choose to call 'friend'- you perpetuate the hell this world has become.

And i don't say this as if i'm perfect, or like 'i've arrived' at some special place- i'm saying this because i'm constantly reminded that we are all as Jewel would say "Peices of you".= for good or ill.

peace,
blu

[XemaSab]

93. I hear ya

On some level he's a deeply pathetic person, even if he is a sociopath.

[beltanefauve]

56. What you are saying

if I understand your post, is that he is punishing himself, that he has guilt or a conscience. But what if he's really a sociopath?

[Bluerthanblue]

73. I posted a long reply to

the one just above yours- saying that while I completely agree that bush DID and IS doing things that are flat out wrong- and that he cannot excuse his actions- for us to dance on his grave, or rejoice in his eventual punishment (and i sincerly believe he WILL suffer for what he had done, even if we don't see it ourselves) but it was as this link was moved, and it got caught in the crossfire, and lost forever i guess.

Even a sociopath has 'compassion' built into them. It may be beneath the consiousness, or buried beneath years of repeated silencing, but it is there- I don't think bush is hurting himself intentionally- but i DO believe that being accident prone, or continually finding oneself in situations that are self harming and unhealthy can be a subconscious way of self punishment- on a level that is NOT under the conscious control of the person.

He is indeed, a man who has done grievious harm to many, many people. One of my worst nightmares would be waking up to find out I was him- (and i have some pretty nasty nightmares).
I pity the waste of his life, and the evil that he has done, and been allowed to do. Complicit in this are many many people who COULD have stopped him, and didn't. People who refused to acknowledge that violence in response to violence is a never ending downward spiral. People who continued to support, and follow his orders, rather than face the ugly truth, or with the courage to stand firm and say "NO- I will NOT do this". No matter the cost- Lost jobs? lost reputation? lost money? lost life- what is life worth if it is a life of compromise and deciet??
People are responsible for their actions. But, as Gandhi and MLKjr said, if i allow myself to hate him, or to wish the same kind of evil on him- then i have lost everything that was 'worth fighting for'-

Allowing others to cause us to RE-ACT in kind, is giving up our control to them- and being used as an extention of evil. (sorry, i haven't got a better/less ...religious... kind of word for it)

[porphyrian]

31. Didn't someone here predict this? - n/t

[sellitman]

36. Pickles...stop feeding him pretzels!

:rofl:

[NickB79]

38. Banging his head on the desk in frustration?

One can only dream...

[highnooner]

39. That's a lobotomy scar

nm

[Tsiyu]

41. The Mark of The Beast

No less.

Murder is written all over his face.

[malaise]

53. hehehehehehheeh

had the same thought:rofl: :rofl:

[Marr]

48. It's amazing how the press ignores shit like this. The man is a drunk.

Seriously- the *only* people I've ever known to get wounds on their faces, let alone regularly, were fall-down drunks. I've been mountain biking for years and fallen in every pit from Mexico to Colorado, and I've never injured my face. I've eaten lots of pretzels and never "choked" on one. Give me a break- that guy is on the sauce, big time.

Can you imagine how Clinton would've been picked apart if he'd come out with a new facial wound every few months?

[Neil Lisst]

49. You're a right. That is the face of a man who is boozing hard.

That one close up shot is scary. Look at the puffiness and the eyes.

[beltanefauve]

50. Heavy drinking!

Unfortunately, I can speak from personal experiences with alcoholics. The gash is probable but inconclusive, though there have been many unexplained gashes and bruises in the past. But what strikes me from the photo is the bloodshot eyes, the red nose, and the broken capillaries in the face. The forced smile seems telling, too.

[ArmchairMeme]

52. Head wound from.....

The press reported that he would be reading this holiday break. It might be a reading wound.:banghead:

[PeacePal]

55. Heh, heh! A READING wound! I just spewed Diet Coke!

He probably had his forehead furrowed for so long, trying to read, that it split open!!!

[ryan_cats]

64. Reading wound- LOL.

Reading wound- LOL. Too funny.

[Lisa]

67. so -- a little learning IS a dangerous thing!

Great post!

[texanwitch]

54. Have to watch out for those mean cedar trees, they can can reach out

and get you.

[Joe Chi Minh]

61. A very very funny post, Dees!

"...in the old forehead..." has such a benevolent, avuncular tone about it. And on top of the incredulity. As if he were a kid or a very simple-minded drinking companion!

[pitohui]

68. oh you KNOW alcohol was involved

drunks fall down

[GreenInNC]

74. His head exploded

He was trying to do the word jumble in the Sunday comics this morning and his head exploded when he couldn't remember how to spell cat.

[Bouncy Ball]

76. The gin blossoms on his nose are getting worse, too.

Someone needs to get him into rehab, quick.

[txindy]

77. Cripes, did Laura clock him, again? Or was it one of the twins this time?

Babs Jr. or Jenna got pie-eyed again and fell on him, did she? Same old, same old.

[SpiralHawk]

78. Bush facial incident No. 47

or whqatever. I accurately predicted another facial incident on a Dec. 31 DU thread asking what was ahead for the new year. But then, that prediction was a no brainer.

I will also predict that the press will continue to ignore all of these queer presidential facials. As usual.

[Cleita]

81. Hmm, that many?

He really seems to have about two of them a month, doesn't he? Maybe the SS needs to be right next to him, ready to catch him before he keels over. Those seem to be obvious stumbling into furniture, walls and shrubbery kind of bruises and scratches.

[SpiralHawk]

87. Well, maybe a little poetic license on my part, Cleita

But what with pretzels, and bike headers, and all the other peculiar unexplained facials, I would say there have been more than a dozen facial scars on Bush since he got selected by the Supremes in 2000.

The so-called press fails to see a pattern here.

So I guess we should all move along and ignore the obvious, like good little proles.

[graywarrior]

79. I think he's self abusing

[txindy]

84. Nah, he'd go for a vital area of his body then, not his head.

[graywarrior]

85. That is a vital area because it reeks havoc on the planet

[txindy]

88. If it was used, it might. Unfortunately he leaves the thinking to others.

He's cut himself off from the outside world. He is a controlled substance. Even his Poppy can't reach him. Does that sound as if he uses his head?

[BuyingThyme]

90. Sweet Jesus, George..another gash in the old forehead

http://www.cccucc.org/cakes2.html

[greiner3]

95. The only wound he normally has;

Is on his butt from sitting behind the desk of his pretend throne.
