Kind of a scary moment
This photo was snapped at the time MSNBC cut to Bush and some guy from Pakistan as they were giving a press conference. They each said a couple of words and then the press went nuts screaming questions at Bush about the Wilson scandal, one after another. This photo was taken as the reporters yelled their questions for what seemed like a couple of minutes. Bush just kept staring into space with this same stupid face for the entire time looking in the direction of the reporters. I thought he was getting ready to have a seizure. I am serious. Then he finally blinked a couple of times and said no questions and used his hand to wave the reporters out of the room. He always takes at least two questions at these events. But not today.

President George W. Bush (news - web sites) meets with Pakistan's Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali in the Oval Office at the White House October 1, 2003. The White House said it was 'listening' to lawmakers who want to make Iraq repay U.S. taxpayers for rebuilding the country's infrastructure, signaling it may compromise on the issue.

6. The pic is dumb, but the REAL stunner here IMO is in the caption.
"The White House said it was 'listening' to lawmakers who want to make Iraq repay U.S. taxpayers for rebuilding the country's infrastructure."

Translation: We steal Iraq's oil wealth. That's what's being said, in so many words. Of course, their wording is more publicly palatable. But it means: We bomb them, then make them pay for it.

9. My exact thought!
When this imbecile finally goes into total vapor lock, I can only pray that there is someone nearby with the presence of mind to keep him away from the nuclear "football".

11. Definitely. Robert Redford himself couldn't have written
nor acted out a more frightening scene.
