Re those who don't want to leave because of their pets, ask this ...

[Wafture]

What would Bush do with Barney if he were in their position?

[Der Blaue Engel]

1. Please. Barney is a prop.

He'd drown him himself if he thought no one was looking.

[Wafture]

4. It wouldn't bother his beautiful mind I guess

;-)

[kikiek]

2. There is no way I would leave without our dog. But Bush can't understand

how anyone else feels about anything. Empathy doesn't exist.

[linazelle]

7. Wouldn't leave my dog...I lost it when the guy on Oprah wouldnt either. nt

[Kurovski]

3. He wouldn't be using Barney as a photo op anymore.

Geez, what's with that picture?

Is George blowing Jeff Gannon a kiss good-bye or what?

Even I'm not THAT nelly!

[BQueen]

10. He'd just buy a lookalike and lie

saying it was still "Barney"

and, is it just me or does he almost look like he's aping some sort of "Injun War Whoop?" (altho' I like the air kisses to Gannon take, too)

[Wafture]

12. He's giving the kiss-off

To the people of New Orleans

[Mythsaje]

5. Barney is thinking

"god, what do I have to do to get away from this creep?"

It's written all over his fuzzy little face.

When someone takes in an animal, they accept responsibility for it. Period. One doesn't leave something to die if one can save or protect it just because it's more vulnerable.

If they don't get it...oh, wait, I KNOW they don't get it.

6. Barney Barbeque of course! n/t

[Wafture]

8. Bush says bye to barney :(

[Inland]

9. If stranded, Barney would kill Bush, eat him, make W useful at last.

I know this because I have cats and fully expect them to eat my flesh at first opportunity.

[I Have A Dream]

13. LOL!

You cat lovers crack me up! :rofl:

I really respect cat lovers' unconditional love. (I often hear you all saying things like this. Although said in jest, there must be at least a grain of truth in it.)

[Wizard777]

11. Is that wanna be Cowboy playing Indian?

Woo woo woo woo. Now I know them Bush's like to play both sides of the line. But that's rediculous!

Poor Barney. I've seen that look before. Help Me! Help Me!

[Wafture]

15. Why doesn't PETA come to his rescue?

Save Barney!

[LisaM]

14. Remember that story about how GHWB wouldn't fly the family dog

C. Fred home for Christmas, because he actually had to pay for it? This was when they were in China. Jeesus. This was not a short vacation. This was for weeks.
