PHOTO: WHY are officials giving him license plates when he should be MAKING them?


US President George W. Bush holds up a Mississippi license plate given to him by Biloxi Mayor AJ Holloway after a meeting with local leaders in Biloxi, Mississippi. Bush, under fire for slow reconstruction efforts in areas wrecked by Hurricane Katrina, visited the Gulf of Mexico Thursday telling victims he had not forgotten about them.

3. He looks like crap
He's continuing to age at a very rapid pace. That color is really bad on him.

8. He needs to take a vacation up in the mountains for a month (plastic surgery) like Pickles did ...

But "a windblown look" on all that dried out pale skin of his may not be an improvement. Still, his eyes would not look so droopy. :shrug:

p.s. Maybe Stephen Cobert can give Dear Leader guidance regarding the rejuvenating art of exfoliation? :yoiks:

4. Another fucking embarrassment for Mississippi
Trash along the coast has been the big issue the past month and now we are importing it. Interesting that the plate has Biloxi on it instead of Harrison County which is the real and legal one.

AND IT EXPIRED IN 05?

12. Just a comment on this story...
Edited on Thu Mar-01-07 04:40 PM by TwoSparkles
This story says that the "worst sex offenders - habitual sex offenders, predators, and child-victim predators - would have to display the plate on their vehicle for five years".

Ummmmmmmm...I'm wondering why the "worst sex offenders" would be free to roam about the country?

Why would a "habitual sex offender" or "child-victim predators" be driving?

Shouldn't they be in prison for LIFE?

I seriously doubt that someone who rapes children for sport---would be shattered because
he's forced to have a chartreuse license plate. Then again, maybe an appropriate punishment
for Charles Manson would be to force him to wear fuzzy bunny slippers whenever he appears
in public.

14. A license plate made by Bush would be mishapen, have the state name mispelled,
and would cost forty trillion dollars.
