... As you can see the peoples house, has a screen covering the entire view of the front entrance.

... I wonder what historic precedent would precipitate the authorities at the peoples house to erect a screen blocking the view of the who was entering and exiting at 9:30pm EST?

... What do you all think of this radical act of secrecy by the Bush/McCain administration, which is eerilly reminsceint of how the Kremlin did buisness.

On a night when America needs leadership and courage, we have them cowering behind a fabric screen in OUR HOUSE.

1. Oh goody, I get to use this again

[farmboxer]

2. If I were Bush/Cheney I would want to hide also

They are a total disgrace.

[MadrasT]

17. LOL for real, and a hearty thanks, because I really needed it tonight.

:hi:

:wtf: indeed.

[OneGrassRoot]

26. LOL! Perfect. Jean Luc for President!!! n/t

[TexasObserver]

31. Remember that waiter ... in France?!

Jean Luc!!

[TexasObserver]

30. "Make a number two, Number One!"

TNG rules!!

[bushmeister0]

42. I know where that's from. "Manage a Troi."

Picard is professing his love for Lwaxana Troi (played by Majel Barrett) to convince a Farengi who kidnapped her that he'll stop ay nothing to get her back.

[beac]

58. Is there ever really a day when you CAN'T use it? Sadly, WTF is

practically the national slogan of the United States these days.

[magellan]

60. Too true

But it's not mine (I borrowed it from Phredicles IIRC) so I only like to use it for very special WTF moments.

[beac]

65. Well, just make sure you keep its wheels well-oiled , b/c

I fear you are going to be pulling it out more and more often. We are plowing headlong into a blizzard of WTF-ness. ;)

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. They need that secrecy... or have gotten threads

What can I say? They are secretive to the nth degree

[Edweird]

18. MUSLIN threads?

Sorry. Couldn't help myself...

[jhain]

39. spppewwwwww! n/t

[Ignis]

46. *golfclap* Well played, sir. (nt)

[grasswire]

4. the comments are fascinating

thanks

[lapfog_1]

5. Probably some high level meetings with the overlords

about how fucked up the economy is right now.

Wouldn't do for the overlords to be seen entering the White House now would it?

[lpbk2713]

6. Pay no attention to that Chimp behind the curtain!

:rofl: :rofl:

More smoke and mirrors from the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime.

[Roy]

7. OH GOODY... SARAH'S COMING!!1!!1

[Contrary1]

8. The must be getting ready

to move Bin Ladin's rotten corpse back to the Middle East so they can defrost and "kill" him before November.

[greguganus]

16. LOL you may be right! Or they are restocking the WH bar. n/t

[Ghost in the Machine]

9. Dumbass musta passed out drunk on the front steps one too many times...

Can't have the tourists seeing *that* now, can we?

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. ...

:spray:

[Tulum_Moon]

10. I thought the link would address the screen.

It had nothing to do with it. The clip said nothing about a screen blocking the entrance to the White House. You might as well cover the constitution. I thought this would be all over the MSM.
This is something you noticed yourself? Just little ol' you.
Nice catch.
I would have passed it off as a construction wall. Then again I don't pay as much attention. That IS NOT a construction wall. I do want to know what the hell it's doing there. Keep us posted, please!

[JohnyCanuck]

11. Don't want the public to see how often Jeff Gannon stops by

for a head rubbing by the Shrub?

[Tulum_Moon]

12. O.K. That was just........

eeeewwwwwwwwwwwww. Uncalled for! Yuck! We were being all serious, kinda, and you posted that? Thanks alot. Now I wont sleep a wink. Nightmares. :eyes:

[dysfunctional press]

32. with kkkarl rove out of the white house- i don't think jeff stops by nearly as often.

do you think turd-blossom prefers getting fucked doggie-style, or missionary- so that he can look into jeff's lovely eyes...? :shrug:

[Jamastiene]

13. Bush is meeting with Osama Bin Laden

to discuss last minute details of a terrorist attack planned for this week to try to curtail the news about just how shitty the economy now officially is.

We are now going into a the beginning stages of a Depression and dip shit Bush doesn't know what to do. He got us into this mess easily enough, but he sure as fuck isn't smart enough to know what to do to get us out of it.

Either that or he's planning on discussing an arms deal with Russia's leaders. You know the Repukes gotta get their greedy hands all into any conflicts by selling weapons to both sides.

[curious one]

14. Why? Is there something to hide? Protection?

[tkmorris]

15. Bush and Cheney have a meeting with their masters

[corkhead]

19. Now Jeff Gannon can come through the front door

[Philosoraptor]

20. ENOUGH of these fuckers!

[ladjf]

21. That's disgusting. They might as well go ahead and turn the

White House into an underground bunker and quit trying to perpetrate the myth that we have anything
remotely resembling and open society.

[travelingtypist]

41. That was my first reaction -- Hitler and the bunker.

Let's hope their last orders are as irrelevant and ineffective.

[Vinca]

22. This is very strange. The people are entitled to know who is entering their house. nt

[tannybogus]

23. What are they up to?? There are side entrances.

I don't think that it is mandated that people enter through the front?? They could enter through the side and put up a screen there.

Why are they calling attention to this? Is Martha redoing the front door? I'm bringing back a question that used to be my mantra: "Now what?"
:crazy:

[knitter4democracy]

29. That door's where some drive up to.

At least, that's what I remember from my visit for the White House Christmas tree tour thingy in 1998. Why would they want to block who's driving up? Aren't there other entrances if they want to hide people?

I'm beginning to think a revolution would be too kind to these people.

[RollWithIt]

24. Is it a screen or a wall? My first thought was some sort of blast wall...

To protect against a bomb blast on the street.

[nc4bo]

25. How peculiar. What's the real purpose? Is it bulletproof? Why is it there?

Bunch of slimeball criminals, a real disgrace to the world.

They should just cover the entire WH with a black plastic tarp.

[WilliamPitt]

27. Jesus

THAT'S a reassuring image to present as the entire financial system essentially eats itself for breakfast.

Fuck.

[SmokingJacket]

28. Are they doing work on the porch??

Maybe they don't want debris falling into the landscaping.

I mean, Bush doesn't exactly use the front door to go in and out, does he? Isn't there a special helicopter hatch, or something??

[lpbk2713]

33. Palin will sell the White House on eBay if elected.

It must be true, I saw it on the internets. :eyes:


Link: http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i40632


San Antonio, TX - Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin today announced plans to put the White House up for auction on eBay should she and John McCain win in November.

Palin announced the plans to a shocked crowd at a San Antonio Texas rally. "That place is just too extravagant" said Palin. "We could save millions of dollars every year if we sold the White House and built a nice little bullet proof log cabin in it's place."

......

When asked if he approved of the idea, McCain responded, "That pretty little MILF can do whatever she wants as long as she gets me some votes." When reminded that he was being recorded, McCain recanted his statement and began singing the National Anthem.

[leftchick]

34. there has to be an underground exit

which would make this unnecessary. Very weird.

[bdamomma]

36. what's next a moat?

if they vote for mc cain and palin there very well maybe.

[glinda]

37. Has anyone figured this out yet?

Is it still up?

[radfringe]

38. they don't want us to see bush staggering around drunk...n/t

[myrna minx]

40. When I visited D.C when I was in Jr. High in 1985, a screen like this was

put up in front of the White House too. I remembered being disappointed, because I wanted to actually see the White House while I was there, but Reagan apparently had some secret guests the day we were there.

[earth mom]

43. Maybe they are hiding a visit from Sun Myung Moon.

:tinfoilhat:

[bushmeister0]

44. Guess who's coming to dinner!

Jack will sort out this whole Russian problem. Sarah wants essence, but he won't let her have it!

[RobertSeattle]

45. Those document shredder trucks sure are big...

:evilgrin:

[yy4me]

47. That was my first thought. Even if there was no lettering, our

first thoughts would be industrial size shredders. Getting closer to the election. Don't want anything hanging around that night be questionable. Or maybe it is to hide loading of paperwork and important stuff for ***'s library(if there ever is one).

Nah, that would take a Tonka truck and they wouldn't need anything larger than a towel to cover that load of baloney.

[bluesmail]

48. They don't want anyone to know it's really the mafia running our country.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

49. "Pay no attention to the liars behind the curtain"

Sorry Mac, can't help ya there :grr:

[spanone]

50. criminals have a lot to hide

[leftofthedial]

51. jeff gannon still visiting?

the bush cabal are utterly stalinesque

America LOST the Cold War.

53. Those are temporary block out shields used when

The Pres is coming out to great a guest. They remove them immediately after. Not sure they were used under Clinton, but my guess is yes!

Focus on how the Repukes are big Fuck Ups.

[dixiegrrrrl]

55. WH now a gated community.....

sure gives a bad impression, doesn't it?

[Canuckistanian]

56. What's next? Airbrushing pictures?

I hear that pics of Rove and Miers have been replaced with pleasant floral backgrounds already.

[HEyHEY]

59. Yeah, cause there's only one door at the white house

:eyes:

[WhiteTara]

61. thanks for showing that

now I hate them more

[Hubert Flottz]

62. You'll have that shit...

When the SCOTUS sElects an AWOL Coward.

[JCMach1]

63. This is brand new... wasn't there in August... the pic on my sigline

is from august and you can see... no screen.

[orleans]

64. covering up the bodies they are dragging through the front door?

[Javaman]

66. moron* is now not only crazy, he's also a nudist. believe me, this is for our own benefit. nt
