Not all Greensburg residents impressed with Chimpy....

[Neecy]

This guy saw through the kissing and pawing and recognized it for the hollow photo-op it was:

Though many in Greensburg said they were pleased by Bush’s visit, some called it an empty gesture, or an effort to make amends for the government’s handling of Hurricane Katrina.

“I don’t mind him coming by,” said Marvin Lawson, a 70-year-old former Marine who suffered bruised ribs when his home’s wall caved in during the storm. “It’s just a show, though, to stir up some points for his ratings.”

1. I await the day someone actually tells him to get lost, on camera for all to see,

during one of his self-aggrandizing photo ops. How can he think he's helping anything?

5. Remember when that guy gave Cheney hell at a Katrina devastation site.

10. Oh, yes, the good doctor! Priceless! nt

[shain from kane]

2. Mr. Clean showed up for the white tornado.

[Kolesar]

14. Intentional double-entendre in your subject line?

What would Kanye West say??

[shain from kane]

29. As shain from kane, I never write anything that hasn't been fully discussed

with the residents of kane, or Kanye West, for that matter, although many consider Kanye West as the wrong side of the tracks.

[Gormy Cuss]

3. I feel for the Greensburg residents.

Poor people have had two major disasters visited upon them in one week.

[Neecy]

9. No kidding...

The Wichita Eagle reported his trite, patronizing comments to the people there...no wonder some weren't impressed.

He then went back to walking the streets and working the crowd:

"I'm sorry."

"How're you doin'?"

"Some things are worse than a tornado -- like all the hot air" that comes out of Washington, D.C. People laughed.

4. That picture makes me want

to vomit...:puke: Good - he has lost all credibilty...and will go down as the "Worst President" ever.

[jedicord]

6. He has an American flag on his wristwatch.

:puke:

I never would have dreamed anyone could make me puke at the sight of the American flag.

[Bluebear]

7. It's in case his little lapel pin falls off and he forgets who he is Deciding for. nt

[monmouth]

8. I'm surprised it wasn't a Mickey Mouse..n/t

[rkc3]

11. He's running a Mickey Mouse admin - so why not.

[Mabus]

15. I'm shocked it doesn't have a presidential seal

like he has on his boots, his guitar and everything else he owns. He probably has one but didn't want it to get dirty.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. And I was thinking

he would have a watch with the hands labeled, like one I have in my special ed classroom.

[corkhead]

18. I'm surprised it isn't the presidential seal, the preening chimp seems obsessed with it in a freaky

narcissistic way. He probably has the seal on his toilet paper, when he isn't wiping his ass with the constitution.

[badgerpup]

35. I noticed that...

...and that his wedding ring is given pride of place in this pic.
Lots of subliminal messages here.
Gotta hand it to whoever does the staging of these things, they do know their stuff...
soul-less conniving manipulative bastards that they are...:grr:

[proud2BlibKansan]

12. I want to know where they got the African Americans

who were in the picture with chimpy in Greensburg yesterday.

[Neecy]

13. I guess they were stashed in the limo...

Kansas.com has an extensive (and often nauseating) photo gallery of his visit, and they aren't in any of the photos.

http://www.kansas.com/static/slides/050907greensburg/

I think they were East Indians or Pakistanis, though.

Oh, and btw - it was Brownback who dropped out yesterday. Maybe there was a fertility clinic in Greensburg and he was trying to 'save the snowflake babies'.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Yes what happened to those pics?

Did you see them? I know I did. But I spent a long time looking for them early this morning and can't find them anywhere. Those sneaky dirty bastards!

We were laughing yesterday that chimpy probably hired these women in Wichita. So no wonder their pics are gone now.

[Neecy]

21. We need to research this...

I have a friend whose parents live in Greensburg, and I'm going to ask her to check with her parents and see if that couple actually lived in the community. In a town that size they'd probably know everyone.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Here's a god place to start

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greensburg,_Kansas#Demographics

I had planned on starting a thread with this link and a picture of the 2 brown skinned women with chimpy yesterday.

[Neecy]

23. So, according to that...

There are 16 people in a town of 1574 who are non-white, non-hispanic and non-asian.

Gee, what are the chances of those two being the first to be 'comforted'?

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. And why are their pictures with the prez no longer available?

[Neecy]

28. as nauseating as it was...

I just checked the White House site and the couple doesn't appear in their official photo releases either.

Lots of really gross new photos of the perv clowning around and 'comforting' people, though.

[TahitiNut]

24. "I think they were East Indians or Pakistanis, though." Agreed.

Asian subcontinentals.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. Save that picture!

It is hard to find.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. I just LOVE our Senior Citizens. THEY can always see through the lies, bullshit and photo-ops.

and that's exactly what that visit was....a PHOTO-OP. Everything that spewed from his mouth was a LIE and the whole escapade was BULLSHIT to make himself look like a "compassionate conservative." We all know better and so does Marvin Lawson.

[AnneD]

31. There comes a point in your life...

when you realize time is short and life is too precious to suffer fools. You've seen almost everything and not much scares you. You tell it like it is and let the chips fall where they may.

[paparush]

17. Caption - Bush Caught Sucking Blood of Helpless Victim

[melody]

27. Oh, I'd say a good portion of the residents were dry heaving at his presence n/t

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

30. I assumed that the crowd was prescreened -

SOP for his appearances. However, it is nice to see other opinions being publicized.

[Parche]

32. We Are Praying For You Mr President

I about fell off my chair last night,when I heard one of those residents say that to the chimp,
him and his wife were there......:mad:

[MLFerrell]

33. If he had tried to "hug" me like that...

I'd have bit his fucking jugular out.

[WI_DEM]

34. If I were a Katrina survivor I'd be royally pissed that he put on this big show for this tornado

while let a major US city die.
