State Dept. employees deface portraits of Bush, Cheney and Rice with ‘fake mustaches.’»

In 2003, Bush administration officials took down historic photos depicting significant moments in American diplomatic history. They replaced them “with huge color glossies extolling the diplomatic feats” of the Bush administration. Recently, however, things have taken “a turn for the worse” as unhappy State Department employees took matters into their own hands:

Outside the State Department ’s press briefing room on the department’s 2nd floor hang large official photos of Bush, Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney. The pictures were, er…modified by persons unknown. (We did not personally witness this, we must admit — or we’d have a photo to post). We’re talking fake mustaches and the like. The defacements were promptly cleaned up. They reappeared.

McClatchy’s “Nukes & Spooks” blog asks, “Further evidence that the Bushies are losing control as they enter their final months?”

3. Tonights "Best Persons in the World"

on KO? Wouldn't be surprised.

[tridim]

4. I guess it's a good thing I don't work at State.

I'll bet this is all a setup to help distance Bush from McBush.

5. Will Der SchimpanseFuhrer retreat deep into his bunker

as his little world in its final days collapses around him?

[tanyev]

6. So how many State Dept employees are they going to waterboard to find the culprits?

:scared:

[madaboutharry]

7. "They took down historic photos

depicting significant moments in American diplomatic history" and replaced them with "colored glossies..."

What a bunch of twits. George Bush is a character straight out of a Peter Sellers movie.

[Brigid]

14. "The Pink Panther Runs for President"

starring Steve Carrell. I can just see it now! :rofl:

[Ilsa]

8. These must be the career State Dept employees. Good for them! nt

[KansDem]

1) Have they spoken with the character?

11. I love it, but the perps need to be careful and not get caught

Keep doing it. :rofl:

[onethatcares]

12. imagine having to deface

the */putin, looking deep into his eyes, colored glossy, available only if you act now.

[Pastiche423]

22. Kind of like this?

[tularetom]

13. You gotta know there's a Capt Queeg style inquiry going on over there

with condomsleezy rolling the ball bearings around in her hand.

The miscreants if caught will doubtless be sent to Gitmo.

:rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

21. Good thing they didn't steal her strawberries

Or she'd be going Nukular.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

[Contrary1]

16. Oh my...

Read the comments! :rofl:

"Musta been all them libruls in the BushCo State Dept!"

"Now THAT’S some G-damned diplomacy! Funniest thing I’ve heard all week. That one with Bush and the big brown mustache? No, that’s a new photo. It was taken right after the Saudis gave him a dirty sanchez last weekend!"

"I can’t wait for the “Kick Me” signs to start showing up on their backs…."

[babylonsister]

17. I don't think I even want to know what a dirty sanchez is.

:scared:

[lonestarnot]

20. I do! What the hell is it?

[Pastiche423]

24. As explained by Wikipedia...

Dirty Sanchez is a term that originated in the porn industry, particularly films involving ass to mouth action, used to describe the sexual practice of smearing fecal matter under the nose of one's partner by application of the penis in the form of a mustache following anal sex.<1> This act can be seen performed in the 2006 sex tape Screeched in which Saved by the Bell actor Dustin Diamond acted as cameraman and narrator.

[lonestarnot]

26. Icky. People really do that?

:puke: :wtf:

[Pastiche423]

27. No people that I have ever known!

I kinda wish I hadn't googled it.

[trusty elf]

31. Inshrubordination

[City Lights]

18. I don't know what's funnier - the moustaches or the idea that Bushie has

had any "diplomatic feat" worthy of a color glossy. :rofl:

[UpInArms]

19. did they appropriately reflect dimson's resemblance to

hitler?

[ColbertWatcher]

23. Sorry, but pics or it didn't happen.

I find it hard to believe this hyper-paranoid, totalitarian administration would not have surveillance cameras everywhere to immediately catch the perp.

I believe this may just be another instance where they invent some slight against their delicate nature to somehow engender sympathy.

Not that I wouldn't want to see the pictures in their Hall of Pretend defaced.

[Oilwellian]

25. I wonder if they were Hitler moustaches

That would be quite a message coming from our own State Department.

[opihimoimoi]

28. Prolly a NeoCon cheated outta his pay...pissed....he did it and waited to see if the Libs got the

blame....

[Wizard777]

29. I'm regaining some respect for the State Department.

Who ever is doing this. :yourock: Keep up the good work!

[trusty elf]

30. This made my day!

Thanks for posting it babylonsister!

[peekaloo]

32. If true I hope it was little Hitler mustaches with "Got Fascism" written underneath.

[bdamomma]

33. good for them to do that

discontent from within will hopefully bring forward some whistleblowers.

[raccoon]

34. Rec'd! nt

[CatWoman]

35. hahahahahahaha - true story

a coworker (on another floor) had pictures of Chimpy and Laura on her desk, and someone drew a mustache on them.

Everyone thought I had done it, as they know how much I hate his ass.

the hilarious thing is, I didn't do it. :rofl:

seems i'm not the only chimpy hater on the block :rofl:

[lame54]

36. replaced them “with color glossies extolling the diplomatic feats” of the Bush administration...

So it's a blank wall?
