Drunk-In-Chief cracks up WH press corps as another soldier buried

[jackstraw45]

Bush is heading for 2 weeks at the pig farm in Crawford...meanwhile, had time to participate in a ceremony retiring the press room at the WH house.

6. Bush has no soul

thats a great shot of Kerry. My heart goes out to all those families I couldn't imagine losing a family member for Bush's lie.

[elehhhhna]

20. and the WH media corps is a bunch of slavering drooling

starfucker chunkheads. Pic number 2 says it all.

[bananarepublican]

39. Must have been a joke about Stephen Colbert!

Bush: "What do we know that Colbert doesn't?". (The press gaggle is too timid to venture guess, in fact their chairs make a noticable sweat induced squeaky sound.)

Bush: "The silly masses can't handle the truth." (Tony Snow holds up a "LAUGH UPROARIOUSLY" sign at which point the above pictures were taken.)

The reality is that at the White House Correspondence Dinner a few months ago, it was the above mirthful gathering that couldn't handle the truth.

[blm]

48. That's what stuck out for me, too. The focking press is aligned completely

with the focking fascists.

[ShortnFiery]

75. Yes, it's like the arrogant brown nosing student who asks a question

of the teacher, "Didn't you forget OUR homework?"

With a few notable exceptions, shameless traitors to this country. They should just GO AWAY, they're Executive Branch Press Sycophants and TRAITORS ... no longer American Journalists. :(

3. Saddest part...

Lance Cpl. Geofrey R. Cayer, 20, of Fitchburg, Mass., died July 18 from a non-hostile incident in Al Anbar province, Iraq.

[Democrafty]

16. k & r

[elehhhhna]

21. self-suicider? KBR rations? What was the cause of death?

[Canuckistanian]

28. Most likely a vehicle accident

I think I heard somewhere that vehicle accidents are the #1 cause of non-combat related deaths.

[slestak]

74. That's code for Suicide

According to my father-in-law, who did two tours in Nam.

[QuestionAll...]

4. so where are all those biting questions going go take place now?

:sarcasm:

or is questioning the president out of bounds for a few months.

[4_TN_TITANS]

45. That was my first thought too....

how convenient to cripple the press corp indefinitely with all the crap going on. I saw no mention of an alternate meeting place. Must have been Snow's idea.....

Again who supports the troops? Actions speak louder than words.

8. Well of course the drunken imbecile is laughing...a free press is one of

his greatest enemies, and as long as it's not HIS kids dying, or the children of his rich buddies and campaign contributors, I mean, hey...what's the problem?? :sarcasm: I'm sure he's thrilled that the press corps will be even more out of touch now.
Fuckin' moran.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. He's so fucking full of himself that, it's beyond sickening!

:puke: What a contrast those photos show.

[tinrobot]

10. Not another August vacation...

Really bad things happen when that idiot is on vacation.

Bad things happen while he's not on vacation, too...

[jackstraw45]

11. His whole presidency is a "vacation from reality..."

There's so much blood on the shoes of this White House - it's simply amazing.

[midnight]

32. Nicely put jackstraw.

[Justice Is Comin]

12. If I was as sick as him,

I'd commit suicide. There's still opportunity for you to consider that bush. Be a martyr to your equally sick right wing. That's the best legacy you're ever going to have.

[babylonsister]

13. What stark contrasts; how terribly sad for this soldier,

his family, and us for being stuck with the creep in the top photo.

[Mnemosyne]

14. Helen was close enough to spit right in * face.

Don't know as I could have resisted, and I'm not a spitter by nature, but for *. :grr:

15. And that's the difference between Dems and Republicans

Thanks for the post.

Thank you Teddy and John for representing our party so honorably and faithfully.

17. what can you say that doesn't involve a very large string of

expletives? Seriously? I got nothing.:evilfrown:

[guinivere]

97. That's what I was thinking.

:cry:

[MagickMuffin]

18. What a Contrast!

Mad king Boy George mucking it up for the cameras, while the real leaders are having to bury one of our own.

But the soldier is just a number to the Mad king Boy George, like his Momma said "Why should we hear about body bags and death? It's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that."

There are so many flaws to that statement. 1. We should hear everyday about the fallen, it should be piped into her house. 2. These soldiers put their lives on the line everyday, they ARE RELEVANT!!! 3. She doesn't have A BEAUTIFUL MIND, period! I can't even begin to think what a perverted mind she possess.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Thank you Senators Kerry and Kennedy for being there for Lance Cpl. Geofrey R. Cayer's funeral, and giving aid and comfort to his grieving family.
Sheesh he was only 20, his whole life ahead of him, gone forever.

23. Dear Lord in Heaven, when will it stop.

We are losing the war in Iraq. We are an isolated and reviled nation. We are pitiless to others weaker than ourselves. We have lost sight of our democratic ideals. Thucydides wrote of Athens' expanding empire and how this empire led it to become a tyrant abroad and then a tyrant at home. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, it finally imposed on itself. If we do not confront the lies and hubris told to justify the killing and mask the destruction carried out in our name in Iraq, if we do not grasp the moral corrosiveness of empire and occupation, if we continue to allow force and violence to be our primary form of communication, if we do not remove from power our flag-waving, cross-bearing versions of the Taliban, we will not so much defeat dictators such as Saddam Hussein as become them.

24. this made me cry

I'm interning on the re-election campaign for Sen. Stabenow and Gov. Granholm in MI, and I'm the only one in the office.
...so I just let it all out :cry:

[flygal]

31. My brother interned for Max Baucus

He knew his nephew and now he's over in Afghanistan. These pics made me cry too.

[babylonsister]

41. Oh, flygal, I'll keep your brother in my thoughts.

:hug:

[IndyOp]

52. Thank you for your work for Sen. Stabenow...

I don't know Gov. Granholm, but I certainly do respect Stabenow and your work for them - our work for all Dems - is what I pray, I pray can stop the flow of coffins in our world.

:hug:

56. Well said, IndyOp.

[TwentyFive]

35. I'm glad Kennedy and Kerry are on our side. Makes me feel good knowing it

When I get depressed thinking about whats happening to us, at least I know Kennedy and Kerry are doing thier best.

[w8liftinglady]

36. OK..I'm intoxicated-but-I am so pissed at the soulless bastards

* has sunk to the absolute lowest with this"press" gaggle...or circle-jerk..they embarrass anyone who calls themselves a journalist.

[The_Warmth]

37. What a monster.

We can't let this happen again.

[bluedeminredstate]

38. Heartbreaking.

The picture of Senator Kennedy is similar to ones taken of him far too often. I'm glad the Senators paid their respects; it's only proper and fitting.
:cry:

[YankeyMCC]

42. k&r

yes, i know these pictures placed together like this can be seen as perhaps out of context and on the surface just blatant simplistic propaganda.

But the sad truth is even though I'm sure you could find pix of Senators Kerry and Kennedy having a moment of happiness during these trying times for our nation while bush is doing something that looks sympathetic to those that have been sacrificed for this war...the truth is when you dig down into who these men are and their respective histories of duty, service and honor it is clear that this juxtaposition of photos speaks the truth very clearly and sincerely.

[jackstraw45]

46. Taken on the same day, at almost the same time....

These photos were all taken on the afternoon on August 2, 2006. So while Bush was yukking it up with reporters, this family was burying their child.

Just to be clear, that this isn't just contrasting a random picture of Bush having fun with the press corp with a random photo of a soldier's funeral.

[blm]

57. It also represents the consistent manipulation of the newsmedia by BushInc

while Kerry and Kennedy and many other Dems are dealing with the REALITY of BushInc.

[Alamom]

73. The contrast in the photos is so sadly breathtaking. I knew the

events "had" to be happening (at) about the same time before you explained.

No words were needed.

First pictures, first thought ...the deranged & out of touch.

Second pictures, first thought ...the humanity, dignity and reality.

A tearful thank-you, JackStraw

[Virginia Dare]

43. Life's just one big Mardis Gras for him...

while the world burns, death and destruction reigns, George just moves on to the next party.

44. There's a ''disconnect'' somewhere...

Shoulda been in Head Start...

[tblue37]

47. Dem campaign ads should regularly feature a side by side

comparison like this.

[otohara]

49. Senators Kerry & Kennedy

Thank you for caring enough to attend funerals of KIA soldiers. Dimson just being his usual asshat self.

K&R

[ComerPerro]

69. They are gonna pay for doing so. They will be attacked

all over the media for "exploiting the death of American soldiers". Just watch.


But I agree. It was classy of them to pay their respects.

[blm]

89. Kerry, Kennedy, usually both have attended EVERY funeral of Mass military

It's part of who they are.

[NobleCynic]

50. What in the bloody?

Please disagree if you must, but can we find something a little more ... important maybe ... to slam the president for? Wrongness of the war aside, you can't possibly expect the president to be present for every funeral of every soldier lost overseas. Understand, I'm not intending any disrespect toward the fallen soldier, just stating that for the president to attend every funeral is impossible logistically speaking.

I'm not entirely certain why this made the greatest page. Election reform, Lebanon, Iraq, the upcoming primary elections, and this makes the greatest threads page?

I understand being angry that the president is going on vacation. However, if more people here were taking issue with the fact that he's going on vacation instead of the fact that he's not attending this soldier's funeral, maybe this whole thread wouldn't have aroused my anger so. The world is a pretty hectic place right now and he shouldn't be taking a vacation.

In regards to this so called contrast between the press conference and the funeral however ... give me a break. Stop patting yourselves on the back for being so clever people, which this isn't, and do something a little more productive.

(edited for spelling)

[jackstraw45]

55. There's PLENTY to slam this administration for but...

The point is that this is a photo-op presidency with no depth and no grasp of REAL work.

This is the President who went forward with a photo-op after being told an airplane had crashed into the WTC.

This is the President who went forward with fluff events with guitars and cakes and snoozed through briefings as Katrina bore down on the gulf. He did a "heck of a job" after the storm hit too...

This is the President who gave shoulder rubs to world leaders but who has NEVER made ANY diplomatic inroads in over 5 years.

This is the President who LIED to the American people in order to start a war in which over 2,500 American soldiers have perished.


I could go on and on.

The point is these photos are an illustration of a few hours in Washington yesterday. As this HORRIBLE man jokes around with a press corps that has been his willing executioner of the Consitution, ANOTHER soldier dead on HIS watch and due to HIS lies is buried leaving ANOTHER family to suffer.

Please. It's not about him attending a funeral for pete's sake.

[NobleCynic]

63. A far more eloquent reply than the original post

Had you phrased it like this to begin with I would be able to find no fault with your statement, and would wholeheartedly agree.

I still dislike the contrast presented in the original post from an analytical standpoint. Had you left out the pictures of Democratic senators it could stand as a contrast of his nonchalance against the human cost of the war. But by adding the Democratic senators to the comparison, it feels like you're accusing him of not showing up to the funeral.

I guess I'm just not comfortable that this thread is currently at the top of the greatest threads.

It strikes me as the same kind of knee-jerk reactionary impulse that has made sheep of the conservatives. Yes we can hate the president, but to allow our emotions to make anything the president does a rationale to attack him is to be no better than the other side.

[me b zola]

87. So threads should meet your standard of eloquence?

In photo journalism, it is the images that convey the message. Posters on DU convey a message using a variety of methods. Many of them are strickly analytical threads, but those threads are complimented by threads like these with visual impact. Don't like it? Well then you probably wouldn't have liked similar photo essays that dealt with these two subjects from post #55:


This is the President who went forward with a photo-op after being told an airplane had crashed into the WTC.

This is the President who went forward with fluff events with guitars and cakes and snoozed through briefings as Katrina bore down on the gulf. He did a "heck of a job" after the storm hit too...


Both of those subjects, along with the subject of this OP, have been heavily written about from an analytical stand point. These photo essays add impact to and compliment the analytical threads. If you buy a star, then you can use the DU search engine to can see for yourself what I am talking about, or you can continue to post what strikes me as knee-jerk reactionary posts.

BTW, your president has not been to one funeral of any of our military. Not one. :grr:

[Laurab]

59. I must disagree

This thread ISN'T about the fact that the pResident is not attending THIS soldiers funeral - he hasn't attended ANY soldiers funeral. This isn't being "clever", these are pictures that reflect his attitude - remember, he's the CAUSE of this soldiers death - as opposed to the attitude of two actual PATRIOTS and leaders.

This is a "man" who jokes when meeting with fallen soldiers parents, has parties when a city is going underwater, and then takes vacations when things are at their absolute worst.

The photos reflect his clear disconnect with the damage he has wrought, whether it be a press conference, a birthday party, a trip to the G8 summit, or a vacation, the photos are always the same. He's one carefree guy.

I am ashamed, embarassed, and fear for my country. This juxtaposition of photos explains why.

[NobleCynic]

64. Your conclusions are dead on

But this line of attack is laughable. The comparison of these photos is laughable. Compare chimpy standing before that mission accomplished banner on the aircraft carrier to the soldier's funeral. Compare him making jokes in poor taste to the parents of a fallen soldier to the funeral. Compare his poor budgeting for military equipment needs to this funeral.

But to compare pictures from that press conference to pictures of a soldier's funeral fails in terms of relevance. It is not a relevant line of attack, and makes us all look like fools that we even try to make it work.

(edited for spelling)

[babylonsister]

67. The two events happened on the same day. It would have been

nice if dimson spent less time clowning around with the press corps he supposedly abhors and more time respecting the lives lost, which he is ultimately responsible for. The contrast is valid and valuable, not that we weren't aware of how this miscreant operates.

[jackstraw45]

70. You have a right you your opinion...I disagree

I see what you are trying to imply but I think you are wrong.

The job of the President is a SERIOUS JOB.

Bush is a loaf and these photos are an illustration of a loafing presidency filled with photo-ops and nicknames constrasted with the obvious toll this takes on human lives.

What is laughable is you continuing to take this post so literally. That's your choice.

You'll probably lose more sleep over this post than Bush has about the lives his actions, or lack thereof, have taken.

[Laurab]

76. I'm always curious when people say it makes "us" look like fools

And again, I must disagree. There are so many photos to choose from, but they all say the same thing. I don't feel it makes "us" look foolish, whoever "us" is. They are photos taken on the same day, but, really, they could be from any given day. They illustrate exactly what they're meant to illustrate.

His party goes on while people are dying. That's what it illustrates.

His party never stops, really. It doesn't really matter which photos are used - there's nothing "laughable" about it because this is how he goes about his life, and that's well documented with photos. Why bicker about which one to use?

It's really a silly argument - any photo taken on any given day will work, except for maybe when he's mad at the airplane steps because he tripped - THEN he looks upset. I think the only one who looks foolish is him, myself.

[NobleCynic]

85. Hmm...

All right, I'll apologize for the "us" remark. It is a questionable generalization. What I meant to say is that it embarasses me by association.

As for the photo issue, I do think it matters which photo of him you use. While it is true that Bush looks like a crazed chimp in almost any photo you use, it is still inappropriate to choose an out of context photo.

To demonstrate my reasoning, take any recent photo of Al Gore laughing. Place it beside a photo of a starving Sudanese child. The caption reads: While Al Gore laughed, the genocide continued. That's very similar to what is being done to Bush with this comparison.

Does Bush deserve it? Yeah. Is it an honorable way to attack him? Not really. If it is done without regard for the fact that it is a cheap and unfair way to attack someone, then I can offer some respect as it is simply fighting dirty. But if it is done without realizing that it is an unfair avenue of attack, then I cannot respect ignorance.

I think the core problem I have with this is that if arguments like this are presented before the general public, it is just propaganda and fighting dirty, but if it is presented to friends and allies in a less public venue it becomes just a form of mindless indoctrination. Comparing these two photos gives us no rational reason to further dislike Bush, just emotional and irrational ones.

[robbedvoter]

78. Extremely relevant as funerals are kept off news as per W's orders

The same media who is gigling at the boss's jokes, complies with his demands that they not cover the casualties. The point is poignantly made. For some of us, at least.

[tbyg52]

71. Every time I see that jerk laughing

:puke:

He has used up his right to laugh. The fact that he still can shows what kind of a person he is.

[WildEyedLiberal]

84. He hasn't been to ONE soldier's funeral

Not ONE. He sent them to die and hasn't bothered to honor even ONE who made the ultimate sacrifice for HIS war of choice.

[NobleCynic]

86. That is sad

He has his reasons for not attending though.

Any publicity of the dead endangers public support of the war, although the public is pretty dead set against it anyways... It would threaten all the profit taking I guess.

Frankly at this point I don't know why he hasn't attended even one funeral. If he chose the wrong funeral he might get slapped down by a grieving mother, but he can stack crowds for speeches, I imagine he could do the same for a funeral.

In any case, he'd probably be accused of doing it simply as political manuevring, and frankly it'd be right. But the same might be said of any politician who goes to a soldier's funeral that he had no personal connection to, as is probably being said somewhere on Fox about Kerry and Kennedy right now.

It was a war of choice however, and he owes the soldiers alot more than he has given.

[WildEyedLiberal]

88. Kerry and Kennedy go to the funerals of MA soldiers whenever they can

The young soldier buried at Arlington was from Fitchburg, Mass.

Bush's constituency is the entire country (yeah fucking right - but it's supposed to be), so he needs to go to ONE funeral. There is absolutely no way it could be seen as bad for him to do so - if he really believes the war is right then he shouldn't be afraid to pay last respects to a soldier who died for his supposed valiant cause. Right now it just looks like he's an arrogant emperor who sends soldiers off to war at the drop of a hat with no regard to how many of them die in his real-life game of Risk. Which, of course, is true, but you'd think his spinmeisters would recognize how callous it looks for him to not even be able to stand face to face with the consequences of his policies.

[NobleCynic]

98. So Kerry and Kennedy attend funerals frequently.

Then Bush has little excuse for not attending.

I guess the media avoiding coverage of the funerals, and who attends and doesn't, is a tactical decision to lessen the tide of opposition to the war. Avoid anything to do with losses.

When framed against the administrations mistreatment of the military, (besides of course, the war) through equipment shortages, low benefits and pay, etc, not attending the funerals helps paint Bush as not caring.

I just don't think its appropriate to compare his funeral attendance, or lack therof, to a press conference regarding a change to the white house press room. That was my original point.

[blm]

99. Both are symbolic of their MANIPULATION of the press.

The press is absent for the REALITY of BushInc's decisions while proving how easily compliant they are over a few gladhandling maneuvers.

[blm]

90. Kerry and Kennedy go to every Mass funeral they can - they KNOW no press

will be there. They do it because it is who they are as men and as accountable lawmakers.

[glitch]

51. There may be some kind of zombie code that prevents them from attending

funerals. We just don't know.

[City Lights]

53. Looks like another fabulous day for the A-hole-in-chief.

Up yours, chimpo.

[Az_lefty]

54. bunnypants is absolutely sickening...

58. God, I miss Dee Dee Myers.

[Atman]

96. Why is Dee Myers sharing stage-time with the war criminal?

Is EVERY democrat a spineless chump? Couldn't she have sent a steaming bag of dog turds and a "fuck you, war criminal" note instead of allowing herself to be pictured with it?

[Doctor_J]

60. Not only is he the worst president ever, he's one of the worst humans

ever. He is the most pathetic excuse for a man I have ever known. He has the morals of a serial killer.

[autorank]

61. jackstraw45, Hard hitting truth...

No avoiding that. Words are barely necessary, not at all.

This is the 'classic age' of DU photo essays with this and the stuff cal04 and hissyspit are doing.

Amazing. I wish all Americans could see this. The first pic really looks like pornography in this
context.

Thank you.

[wicket]

62. Kennedy & Kerry, true American patriots

Unline the pretender-in-chief.

:kick:

[warrens]

65. What a set of pictures: would make a great ad

Someone should think about this for the Congressional campaigns as a generic "Democrats Care--Repukes Don't Give a Shit" campaign. Just a simple flash alternating these pictures with the date on each one would be really effective. Not a word would be necessary.

[tex-wyo-dem]

66. And chuckle-nuts hasn't even shown the courtesy of attending..

a funeral for any serviceman or servicewoman.

Hell, he didn't even go to his own sister's funeral.

The idiot-in-chief is twisted, insane and just doesn't care about anything except lining the pockets of his "good-ole-boys."

[ComerPerro]

68. I can't wait till FReepers and the media start attacking Kennedy and Kerry

for exploiting this man's death.

It will happen.

[fedupinBushcountry]

79. No it won't

the media and freepers won't touch this, why?, because it has to do with reality, something neither know how to comprehend. This is not the firt funeral that the Senators have attended and sadly it won't be the last.

[ComerPerro]

81. But that's how they spin, and the media embraces it

Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity will come along and talk about how disgusting it is that they exploit veterans' funerals.

Then, rather than ignore the bullshit or tear it to pieces and expose it for the hateful crap it is, the news media will instead run stories on it, "Is it shameful for Kennedy and Kerry to use dead soldiers to try to score political points? You decide"

[blue4barb]

72. Watched the clip-- totally disgusting and sickening.

Observed that some of the "groupies" standing with b*sh on stage seemed to have fake, plastered smiles on their faces during his comedic performance. Almost as if they were watching him and thinking what he is going to say/do that will be an embarrassment. Of course, their fake smiles with canned laughter would cover up anything that could be "misconstrued".

[Rex]

77. Retiring the Press Room! BAWHAHAHAHA! And they think it is temp.

LOL! Fools! The media is run by fools! Yeah, go operate out of the building across the street. Out of sight, out of mind. :eyes: The new Press Room is almost completed...honest...fools...

So when will the official retiring of the US Constitution take place? Any bets?

[Disturbed]

80. The most obscene event was the skit of Missing WMDs.

That event portrays Bush and his Junta and the Press, even some Senators/Reps for what they are. Think about that and figure out what these people are representing.

[jackstraw45]

82. Agree..one of many....

"Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be somewhere."

And once again, the washington press corps roared with laughter....

Does anyone know the numbers so we can make a comparison? I can't find much on Google...in fact, I can't find any combat casualty figures.

92. There's no comparison to be made...

There's no comparison to Clinton on the Presidency of Bush. It's not about funerals but about the acts that caused them...imo.

there were no funerals during Clinton's term as commander-in-chief. That's what I call a good commander-in-chief.
