[BOSSHOG]

He did not show up at the funeral of the nine firefighters in Charleston, South Carolina.

2. Imagine that, and there were missed photo-ops, I'm sure.

[yardwork]

3. I'm relieved, and also somewhat surprised.

I wonder why not.

4. Perhaps to avoid people questioning his motives?

Certainly we can expect those politicians who showed up to get a bit tarred and feathered. Rhetorically speaking of course.

17. That would be the first time.

[bryant69]

23. First time politicians have taken it on the chin for this kind of thing

Or first time President Bush has been attacked?

First time for what?

24. The first time that chimpy has ever cared about public opinion.

My guess is that he missed this photo-op because he was too drunk to get out of bed this morning.

7. Yeah - the only positive things that can be said about Bush's Presidency at this point

is that sometimes he didn't quite f@%# up as badly as humanly possible.

Some legacy, hunh?

[BOSSHOG]

8. It is incredibly challenging

trying to find something that that fuck has done right throughout his entire life. I see that the officials at the funeral put all the politicians way in the back. Good for them.

19. Not only that but the newspaper isn't even

acknowledging they are here. At least not yet. I don't want to think what the broadcast media is doing with it...I refuse to tune in to what I know will be a dog and phony show (that was originally a typo but I realized it fit).

9. Speaking of photo-ops, he still milks this one.

He probably figures he isn't due for any more

firefighter props just yet.

[madinmaryland]

10. Oh!

I thought maybe he and Cheney had resigned.

:(

[BOSSHOG]

11. He's not that nice

[jobycom]

12. He's Count Olaf, the VFD does not welcome him.

Obscure to some, and more somber than it sounds.

[madrchsod]

13. he should`t have shown up to this one but he did

"President Bush hugs stem cell patient Kaitlyne McNamara after speaking about ..." ya after condeming her to treatments that do`t work cause he likes people to suffer. thank god this is a small picture cause the large one in my newspaper really pissed me off...

[eleny]

14. Even he knows it takes hard work to rub tar and feathers off an ass

[formercia]

15. Were any of the candidates there?

but then, they might be accused of milking tears for personal profit.

[BOSSHOG]

16. Huckabee, Richardson's wife and I think another

but those in charge at the funeral put them in the back, good for them.

[formercia]

27. I think there was a message there.

Take a hint, boys.

[roody]

18. He did not get out of bed today?

[yardwork]

20. Probably the real reason.

[rhiannon55]

21. He probably is really bummed that he doesn't get to put his sweaty paws

on the firefighters' wives. His '(in)famous' hugs always make the huggees feel ALL better, doncha know? Oh well, there'll always be a next time, I guess...

[GeorgeGist]

22. This is why ....

President Bush Welcomes President Nguyen Minh Triet of Vietnam to the White House
could he look anymore condescending?

[Jim Warren]

25. A real president would have gone

too bad we don't have one.


In 1999 six fire fighters died in a warehouse fire in Massachusetts, it shook the town, President Clinton came and gave a wonderful memoriam. I was there, my 10yo son shook the President's hand.

[BOSSHOG]

26. Bill Clinton would have been welcomed in Charleston today

bush is as welcome as a colonoscopy. Anywhere.

[Hand]

28. Bad enough that Giuliani was there. nt

[waiting for hope]

29. Now that's a surprise.....

Areas of South Carolina are the most deepest shades of red, you would have thought he would be among friends.

[trashcanistanista]

30. I bet he wasn't invited. n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

31. I KNEW it involved keeping out of sight, just from the title. Thanks, Boss!! nt
