1. "I haaavvve ssssssinnnnnned", cried Chimpy Swagger. n/t

[Missy M]

2. They all seem so phony to me.....

a bunch of bad actors.

[Kajsa]

7. Don't they, though?

Those are my thoughts, exactly.

[bdamomma]

17. he is just going through the motions that's all

this man has displayed his cold and callous ways enough times, he just does not care about humanity.

[Kajsa]

3. GW needs all the help he can get.

He's certainly not capable of handling
any emergency on his own.

The last pic says it all.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Where's the picture of the altar with the diamond-studded dollar signs?

[Crankie Avalon]

5. I like that fourth picture...

"Not now, Satan...I'm tryin' to look holy, up here!"

[Jawja]

6. Geesh!

He's STILL trying to cover his ass over his absolute and complete failure to lead an adequate response to this disaster. :eyes:

[Supersedeas]

19. Photo ops and flowery speeches - Go Rove Go

[mitchtv]

8. I thought the RC church had gone to the dark side

* allowed inside has convinced me that the RC church hosted his Satanic majesty. There should've been a lightening strike.

9. i guess he walked right past the confessional

10. Why are the getting communion?

I thought each church required you to be a member of their own congregation before you could accept communion? What denomination is this church?

[madrchsod]

13. another poster in another thread said

this crossing of the arms in a catholic church meant you were not of the faith so you could not receive communion but a blessing from the guy in the robe. more bullshit from the "church".

[YOY]

14. No offense, but that's just how it is, it's pomp but hardly BS

Everyone is invited and everyone can participate, but one has to be a Catholic to take communion. Noting incredibly BS about that. Just another of the quaint 'little rules' we have.

Although, inviting someone who claims to be a 'born again Christian' into the church seems disgusting as they don't even consider Catholics to be Christian.

15. Communion? Can anyone explain? How is that possible? nt

[demosincebirth]

18. They are not receiving communion...they are receive a blessing.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. #2. Fitting time in the strait-jacket department.

[tnlefty]

12. Can he not do anything with a little respect, class or dignity???!!!!

I know why he has his arms crossed, but that isn't the way that I was taught to do it. Tightly held to the chest with fingertips pointing toward or almost touching the shoulders. And he can't even stand up straight - why doesn't he just lie down on the floor or in the pew? I can only assume that he didn't try to genuflect as there are no pictures of his ass on the floor after he fell.

Bush** the rude, arrogant, devoid of any class pResident. Blech.

[AlinPA]

16. What a slimy phony he is. He is an ugly human being.
