This is beyond captioning: note the hand gesture which is considered

[hedgehog]

rather vulgar outside the US:

[Ian David]

1. Bush is really, REALLY drunk.

[nc4bo]

10. He's an embarrassment to the entire world. nt

[Kablooie]

64. But HE doesn't know he's an embarrassment. He thinks he's admired by most the world.

[Infomaniac]

37. He is an embarrassment

What was the official explanation for this behavior? Heat stroke? It sure looks like he's been hitting the bottle.

[galloglas]

39. It's just a scientific reply !

Someone must have asked him is Blood Alcohol Content, in Spanish.

Being afraid of botching his Spanish, as he often does his Anglish (yes.. Anglish), he is merely replying that it is 0.00% !! Which I totally believe!

I mean, isn't it obvious? As someone pointed out, there is something in his shirt pocket. And it is entirely too small to be booze. Not even grain alcohol could account for his appearance.

So, what does it indicate?

Well, he's BLOWING his rep in front of billions. Appears HIGH as he's GONE through China, TRIPPING around the LUSH, sun-LIT land of the East.

But perhaps there is another explanation?

While China has PLASTERED over WASTED areas of industrial growth, SMASHED and TRASHED by decades of war, and now a-BUZZ with new life, after being HAMMERED, BOMBED, BLITZED, and WRECKED by armies domestic and foreign, George has been seeing what interests him: the food and the competition.

Consequently, while watching his favorite American athlete, CRUNK BLUNT (Rep. Roy Blunt's son), the Prez FADED from hunger, then LOADED on some of those CRAZY Chinese foods. His energy was sooooo FADED that, as he TANKED up on MUNCHIES, he RIPPED into each dish, not caring if it was BAKED, FRIED, MASHED, TOASTED. Or whether it was COOKED or BURNED!

As you may well imagine, with our Prez TANKED up on these delights, they SLOSHED around causing indigestion. With no Tums readily available, he asked for some BAKING SODA, being intent on watching the finale of CRUNK BLUNT.

Unfortunately, BLUNT was a CHRONIC FADER and was TRASHED in his match by opponents who SMASHED AND HAMMERED him. Boy, was the Prez PISSED!

But by then, the food had SLOSHED into a HASH of indigestion. And by the time the match clock went BONG!, the Prez was ill enough he thought CRUNK was a Ranger baseball player, and coaching his player with "TOKE the next pitch, CRUNK!

Then he became dis-Oriented to the point of calling the play-by-play.

"OK, BLUNT! Watch for that EIGHTBALL! It's comin' down the PIPE!! The pitcher ROCKS and fires! BUD he is HIGH! CRUNK get a FREEBASE!!"

By this time the Secret Service realized the prez was reacting to his meal, and aimed to take him back for a rest.

Having none of that, the Prez said, "Let's go watch the CROCAINE matches! I'll bet CRUNK can't even hit the wickets! But we TOKE that match. Even if the score's a TWEAKER!" Then he blew his lunch and returned to his hotel.

Now who can blame the guy?

"Food poisoning can get to anyone!" said Alexander Litvinenko

[ColbertWatcher]

45. Well, this explains why Jenna's not there: he'd have to share the booze! n/t

[shadowknows69]

58. No question

I used to be a pretty healthy boozer, we can smell our own.

[Kokonoe]

2. OMG congratulations nt

[RaleighNCDUer]

3. Jeeze - he looks absolutely toasted there.

Trying to hold down a huge burp after polishing of a 20oz draft.

[elehhhhna]

30. omg drunk as hell!

[liberalmuse]

4. They shelter us from pictures of flag draped coffins...

but they allow this shit to be published, scarring many people for life. Good god.

[KansDem]

5. You'd think his advisers would have briefed him on what to do and say...

...and what not to do or say in another country.

But then, he ignored the 8/6/01 PDB, so we can assume he would have ignored this briefing as well...

[beam me up scottie]

18. After 8 years they still haven't taught him what to do/not do and say/not say in his own country.

The poor idjits in charge of his lie-bury sure have their work cut out for them...

[KansDem]

19. LOL!!! Touché

After 8 years they still haven't taught him what to do/not do and say/not say in his own country.

I guess we're just used to his outlandish statements and antics here...

[beam me up scottie]

21. Sad, isn't it?

I look back at pictures of Clinton and Carter now and just want to cry...

[Warpy]

22. I pointed out last night that he's making a very rude gesture

in China. Basically, he's calling anyone who sees it a c**t.

I had a wonderful evening with some usually dignified but rather inebriated Chinese scientists comparing rude hand gestures. That's one of the ones that made their faces reddest.

[ColbertWatcher]

46. He's channeling McCain now? n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

60. Hey, It's only China, they're not into protocol.

:sarcasm:
When G.B. Trudeau sent Ambassador Duke to China it meant some great comic strips, as the totally gonzo Duke pretty well violated all the rules due to a combination of willful ignorance and just plain not giving a shit. With Bu**sh** it's more of a tragic farce.

[mnhtnbb]

6. That is just too much.

[DS1]

7. Incredible. He's becoming Steve Bell's creation

[Subdivisions]

8. Looks like he fell down at some point. Check out his elbow....

What a fucking idiot.

[madeline_con]

17. Poured into the waiting car. n/t

[rwork]

9. What happened to his arm?

Biking accident?

[hedgehog]

14. I think that's from his biking accident last week.

I tried to get a link to that accident and came up with about half a dozen others! Someone put the training wheels back on!

[Lorien]

70. Biking accident, or falling down drunk? n/t

[madeline_con]

11. He fell down again. Check out his elbow.

Tanked and acting stoopid overseas. Par for this asshat's course.

[spinbaby]

12. Oh, that gets a recommendation

Perfect!

[angrycarpenter]

13. look at his elbow

Looks like a carpet burn. What an embarrassment he is. I've seen illiterate hillbillies with more class.

[The Traveler]

15. Is he trying to imitate

Heath Ledger's portrayal of "The Joker"?

[lame54]

16. He apparently likes the back of that womans head...

which is unusual
because here is his fetish...

[Sancho]

20. Mrs. Bush doesn't look too happy either...

she's exiting asap.


:dem:

[Frustratedlady]

23. That's like a sobriety test...touch your nose with your finger.

Even if he isn't drunk, that's a stupid pose to assume as POTUS. His daughter looks to be embarrassed.

If it looks like a duck...walks like a duck, it's a f'ng duck!

[beam me up scottie]

24. Wtf is that in his shirt pocket?

Did he forget to put on his bra?

[hunter]

67. That's Bush's dick.

Vladimir Putin sent it back to Bush in a gift box, along with a nice bottle of vodka.

[Laurab]

25. Gosh darn he makes me proud.

That I didn't vote for him, anyway. I think I'll go hide somewhere until January - or maybe the village that lost its idiot will see him and take him home....

[HughMoran]

26. Is he a flounder displaying his IQ?

Jiminy crickets that man is a jackass.

Somebody hide him away to spare us the embarrassment!

[Jack Rabbit]

27. Barbara looks like she needs two paper bags.

One to give to her dad before he hurls and the other to put over her head.

[LibDemAlways]

29. She's looking more and more like

Pickles. Not a good thing.

[sammythecat]

51. I'm seeing the resemblance too.

Too bad, because without that association I think she's attractive.

But... there is that association.

[Island Blue]

28. Somewhere, Jenna has to be thinking ...

"Thank you holy jesus for letting me get married so I didn't have to go to China with my mother The Joker and my father The Bumbling Drunk Idiot."

[elehhhhna]

31. Babs has enough makeup on for both twins, anyway. YIKES!

[Mike Daniels]

32. Apparently, GHWB is an honorary captain of the US Olympic team

which would account for why the entire clan seems to be in China during the Olympics. In that case I'd like to think the Olympic committee is covering the travel expenses for this little production.


That said, it is interesting that Jenna is not there. Perhaps she didn't want to have to deal with her father acting like a star-struck, ass-grabbing drunken boob. It does seem to be having a wearying effect on both Laura and Barbara.

[Scout]

33. how come he has scabs on his right elbow? ick n/t

[Mike Daniels]

34. The official story is a biking accident

What the real story happens to be is anyone's guess.

[beam me up scottie]

35. How many does that make?

His whole prezle-dency has been one long bike accident.

[Mike Daniels]

36. God knows what it's up to right now...

Given his problems handling those little stand up motorized vehicles (Sedgeway?) I wouldn't be surprised if every bike trip ends up with him sprawled on the pavement.

[beam me up scottie]

38. I can only hope that there are thousands more embarrassing photos that will be released later.

There has to be that many, for every one they let the press release, I would guess there are at least five more that they sat on.

[helderheid]

47. You'd think he'd avoid those bikes!

:rofl:

[beam me up scottie]

55. At least the bikes are inanimate, just imagine what a horse would do to him!

There's a reason he's scared of any animal that's larger than Barney.:D

[helderheid]

59. LMAO!! GET THAT MAN A HORSE!

[jmowreader]

41. They're probably exactly right--biking accident

See, when you get drunk off your ass then get on a bicycle you can barely ride while sober, you tend to fuck yourself up royally.

[jmowreader]

40. I have drank many drinks on many occasions...

but in all my years of drinking, I have never, EVER, been as shitfaced as George Bush is in that photo.

[MiniMe]

42. Check out this set of pics from the Globe

In the 3rd pic, I swear they are carrying him out.

edit for reference to wrong picture

[FloridaJudy]

62. Drunken frat boy

That is not cute on anyone over the age of twenty. Hey, Boosh:

[4_TN_TITANS]

43. The scrape on the arm got my attention.

What does this guy do when he's not in front of a camera? You know he isn't putting in a hard day's work. Our 'Resident looks like he takes a regular beating.

[Raster]

53. Nothing like a little road rash/rug burn to really look pResidential.

[4_TN_TITANS]

44. The scrape on the arm got my attention.

[AngryOldDem]

48. Our Fearless Leader,

Making an absolute fool of himself in public -- AGAIN.

:banghead:

[City Lights]

49. Go Oooossssssssa! We're numer 1!

Our "leader" is a bigger drunk than your leader!

edited for typo

[Lugnut]

50. Aw geez!

He's trashed. :wow: He's such an embarrassment.

[carlyhippy]

52. pssst dad dad DAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD

put your hands down, OMG.

[mistertrickster]

54. Thanks for the photo. It's another one for the office door. NT

[Cherchez la Femme]

56. Is this where he's staggering? n/t

[ailsagirl]

57. You bet it is... what an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:mad: :puke: :crazy: :dunce: :spank:

[DogPoundPup]

61. Bush had his anthrax vacine in 2004 right?

National Academy of Science report shows psychiatric illness increases several-fold after anthrax vaccination
http://anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/2008/08/national-academy-of-science-report.html

[1Hippiechick]

63. When asked what his current approval rating is, he responded w/this gesture. Or,

When asked how many drinks he had had, he responded w/this gesture.

When asked how many times he had fallen down, he responded w/this gesture. (Yeah, right. We note the skinned elbow.)

[Hekate]

65. My God, that man is shit-faced. There's no other way to interpret that picture.

Interesting that his daughter is getting the same mask-like expression in his presence that her mother has perfected. That is one sick family.

Hekate

[Marr]

66. God, he is such a fucking stooge. I'm just a blue collar guy and

I know not to make that gesture outside of the US.

[Gman]

68. Bush got up and left later...

this pic was taken...

[Ganja Ninja]

69. What a disgraceful drunk.

I can't stand much more of this. I'll be glad when he's gone.

[DFW]

71. Just look at his face. Not all the terrrists in Arabia could do that much damage to our nation.
