Something about this photo is bothering the hell out of me


I think it's the look on Bush's face -- he appears to be snidely reveling in Blair's misery.

Or, am I seeing too much in this?

2. You're seeing too much in this.
That's just his default expression. I call it the pissy-look.

However, I do not think we have seen this particular look before.

5. Frankly, there is no way his face could do anything but make me want to
puke...no matter what the expression is.

6. That "look" is one I know. It's the result of thinking
"woooeee...how can I get this guy nekkid in my bed without anybody finding out..."

(I am actually about 99% serious) :eyes:

9. CatWoman, is Blair's son already 'working for a US Congressman in D.C.'?
Think back to the olden days... sons of lesser kings sent to the courts of more powerful kings as insurance of fealty.

I was wondering what Blair used to barter with and insure the low causality #s my self.

18. Might have been from one of the 2 dozen or so posts I have made to try
and pound the point home? ;) I've been harping on this since WAY before the London blasts. They want to make sure the poodle doesn't slip his leash.

Blair's son in the US will be a hostage just as our troops in Iraq are all hostages. Held by the same greedy corrupt corporate tyrants too! We pay ran$om every time a private contractor gets a check.

10. I don't think you can read anything into the photo itself, but you CAN
read something into the media when it begins to carry such pictures. I remember when they ran nothing but this sort of shit:



This thing was on the cover of the LA Times, IIRC.

19. Evidently Bush wasn't told what to think, so he doesn't know what to do.

25. He's trying to control his smirk.
I noticed it when Blair made his first statement Thursday morning. The other thing I noticed is that when Blair was done and the photographers in the room started snapping their photos, Chimpy looked rather annoyed that Blair instead of himself was the center of attention.

26. I don't see it.
I hate *, but I just don't see what you're seeing. Actually, I'm surprised to see what looks somewhat like concern. Sorry.

28. He's jsut trying to look like he's having a thought for a change.
Any thought will do. He might be mulling over whether he wants tuna or chicken salad for lunch. And for him, that's really important decision, right up there with war planning.

30. Oh, who can tell?
The ** creature seems not to have normal human emotions, facial expressions, etc. It also has trouble with typical human activities like bike riding, pretzel eating, thinking, and hard work.

Frankly, it gives me the creeps.
