U.S. President George W. Bush (R) playfully pretends to box against Muhammad Ali, who responds by circling his finger to indicate the president is crazy to offer a fight, after Bush presented Ali with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington November 9, 2005. Bush presented the highest civil award recognizing exceptional meritorious service to 14 honorees from the sport, entertainment and political world at the ceremony. REUTERS/Jason Reed

1. Is * crying on Ali's shoulder?

Yesterday sure was a rough day.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

11. he's trying to bite his ear off

nt

[sui generis]

2. that is so sad there is no cure for the brain damage

also sad for Ali's condition too.

:evilgrin:

[melody]

4. lol - good one

Poor Ali looks like he's going to urp all over Bunnypants' shoulder.

[Imagine My Surprise]

8. LOL!

[Mad_Dem_X]

LOL! I needed that

Thanks :spray:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. oh, my poor brother!

But Mohammed Ali knows that one must have mercy and compassion, even upon ignorant chimps. It would be interesting to know what The Greatest is thinking, though.

[mimitabby]

5. he's thinking "this guy's a real chimp!"

[ultraist]

10. Ali was probably thinking this:

Muhammad Ali, who responds by circling his finger to indicate the president is crazy...

[godai]

13. Maybe this should be the caption

White House photo op goes awry as Muhammad Ali indicates that he thinks Bush is crazy, then Bush becomes infuriated and threatens to deck the former Champ. Aids were able to separate the two before any blows were landed as the room was cleared.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. Ali: No Viet Cong ever called me a nigger

Bush: Party on!

Quite a picture in contrast, there...

[Dr.Phool]

9. 2 draft dodgers

One on moral principle, the other a coward.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. One draft resister...one draft dodger

n/t

[BurtWorm]

29. Prezackly.

:toast:

[Sydnie]

7. Isn't that about the time when the ref would come over and break them up

Seem blivet** is holding him so Ali can't hit him!

Just once, for old times sake ... float like a butterfly, sting like a bee ... and knock his lights out. Please.

[Demit]

12. The Champ and the Chimp.

[DrDan]

14. could be one of Ali's last appearances

[Gloria]

15. Yes, you can tell by his face...it appears "frozen" which is

typical in the Parkinsonian patient. Ali seems frozen and stiff generally. He probably can't walk very well at this point...

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Oh no ....

what a great man he is.

I always wanted to meet him. Back in 1987, we was in SF and one of my customers at the bank where I was working met him on the street. Said he was a coolest guy even though he couldn't talk very well, he just came across as warm and funny.

I love me some Ali!

[Arkana]

16. Ali is probably thinking, "I used to make guys like this

drink toilet water smoothies. WTF is wrong with me?"

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. If EVER there was a time to "Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee"

THAT would have been it! An uppercut...KO.

[TK421]

18. In the last picture, Ali is telling shrub he should do something about

his coke jaw

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

19. Even through Ali's haze, it's obvious he doesn't wanna be there

Too bad he didn't take *bush up on the fight. He'd have cleaned the shrub's clock.

[begin_within]

21. Which one has the brain damage? I keep forgetting.

[neebob]

23. There he is, grabbing heads again.

What's up with that? Ali's not grabbing his head. It's not cool to grab people by their heads. Most people know that.

[Stephanie]

25. EXACTLY!

It's patronizing. It's offensive. It's intrusive. I would knock his block off.

[spacelady]

31. That was my thought, too. Dubya, stop with the head touching!

It's like he's trying to steal brain power or souls or something.

[Swamp Rat]

24. Here ya go Stephanie:

:D

[Stephanie]

26. For me?!?

awwww, you're sweet!

[jeanarrett]

27. Ali really thinks he's crazy

because of George's position on stem-cell research.

[Straight Shooter]

28. Beauty and the beast.

Ali has always been, and always will be, an extraordinarily handsome man, with a beautiful soul. :loveya:

[SpiralHawk]

30. The Champ in the clinch with The Chump

Go Ali!
