Unprofessional president

The photographs of unprofessional behavior between newly commissioned Air Force officers and President Bush on the front page of Thursday's edition are incredibly disappointing.

Their behavior was clownish, and it sets a horrible example for everyone in the military.

The office of the president deserves the utmost respect. We must seriously question the maturity and judgment of officers who fail to grasp this concept.

NOTE: This may not be viewed as breaking news, but it is breaking news in that this issue was brought up at the press briefing today. I will shortly bring back the discussion there. And when is the last time someone in uniform has critized Mr. Bush like this?

ADDENDUM -- Discussion from press briefing today

(snip)

Q I have one question that has nothing to do with your -- (laughter.) This morning The Washington Times published a statement by Marine Corps Sergeant Steven Pryor of Bowie, Maryland: "The photographs of unprofessional behavior by newly commissioned Air Force officers and President Bush on the front page of Thursday's edition are incredibly disappointing, clownish, and set a horrible example for everyone in the military." Will this Marine sergeant be punished for this statement, or not?

MS. PERINO: Certainly not. I think it's referring to the U.S. Air Force Academy commencement ceremony, and the President had a wonderful time with 1,012 cadets, personally acknowledging each of them.

Q You saw the pictures on the front --

MS. PERINO: It was a wonderful event.

1. But how old are these new officers? 22, 23 years old?

If the repukes would install pResidents that didn't act like clowns, this would never become an issue!

Oh, and Sgt Pryor needs to watch his a$$. I hope someone he trusts has got his 6.

[cayuga]

23. George knows the jig is up and he is not even pretending anymore.

He is as he is, a frat boy cheerleader being led by the nose by his father.

Sad, pathetic, paranoid little boy playing dress up.

A "Mighty Big Asshole", he gets paid for it, so he's a professional

7. Every single freeper who commented on this

thought it was wonderful. It was just a guy who's "one of us" and "having the time of his life," "comfortable in his own skin." How would they have reacted if say, Barack Obama engaged in this sort of vulgar behavior?

9. "Hell, yeah, Commander AWOL is definitely 'one of us.'" - Freepers

[peacetalksforall]

13. "How would they have reacted if say, Barack Obama engaged in this sort of vulgar behavior?"

What a great question? I can just imagine suit and tie and pearl necklaced patrons of the Republican Party excusing Obama.

11. Unprofessional

The kid making copies at Kinkos can be unprofessional. The POTUS can't be. We watched 8 years of the MOST unprofessional President ever. If you can come up with one that was worse, feel free to post. At some point the voters that elected this guy have to share the blame for his presidency.

16. Cut him some slack.

Bill Clinton gets a blow job in the oval office and your mad a Bush for chest slamming a cadet???

Bush policy sucks, but what he did isnt disrespectful.

[hisownpetard]

17. Cut him some slack??

24. Do the name Jeff Gannon (R - B & D manwhore) strike a familiar note?

Or are you into Total Denial & Diaper Sex with Hookers while Toe Tapping in a public crapper like the other republicon 'leadership'?

[J R]

34. Come on now, don't be a jerk...

I know a few people who are "self-employed" but are good people, they would NOT appreciate the comment you just made. In other words:
Stop disrespecting our blessed prostitutes, male or female, by linking them with the likes of Bush, Larry Craig, et al... This nation's escorts deserve better!

*tongue in cheek*

29. Bill Clinton's blow job wasn't in front of the whole world

until Ken Starr put it there.

[Faygo Kid]

12. Bush is a jerkoff psychotic with no respect for human life.

Hillary, ohhhhh yeeeah!
