Bush "pauses as confetti falls from the ceiling before end of his speech"
"President Bush (news - web sites) pauses as confetti falls from the ceiling before the end of his speech at a campaign rally at Verizon Wireless Arena Friday, Oct. 29, 2004 in Manchester, N.H. The confetti exploded prematurely. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)"



He's really wearing that unmistakable mark of a winner, isn't he?

13. Kinda like 5/1/2003 - premature celebration
Kinda makes sense as to why Laura always wears that fake smile.

She has to be used to faking it . . .

3. His face is all puffy, like he's been doing a lot of crying.
he knows he's toast.. and at this point i honestly don't think he WANTS to win. he's just doing what he's told to do but you can tell that his heart isn't in it. I don't think it ever was.

7. The cue was "God bless...", as he always says at the end, but
this time he said "God bless (some person)" earlier and they got the cue wrong.

That's just funny.

20. it's even worse than that.....
Confetti was supposed to come down when he was saying a jubilant "God bless" at the end of the speech.

Instead, it came down when he was saying "God bless" to the grieving mother of a police officer killed in the WTC.

19. I would feel bad for him
if his policy wasn's such bullshit.

Stop trying to ruin the environment and get rid of our last wild national forest areas and I might have some sympathy.

21. Never Heard Of Confetti Dropping For Someone's Grief
But I'm sure they're looking into ways to make flag-draped coffins more festive.

22. Did Schilling-The-Shill Shit His Pants?
Tough Guys that have never been near combat, tend to "soil themselves" at the sound of unplanned gunfire or cannons!

23. If this happened to Kerry
He would have laughed it off and made a joke out of it. Very telling.

24. Yes, Kerry is "life gives you lemons, make lemonade," while Bush is:
..."I want you to FIRE the SON OF A BITCH who picked those LEMONS."
