Of all the days to be an idiot, he picks this one.


U.S. President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush stand on a carpet commemorating the date of the attacks of September 11, 2001 near a mural depicting those attacks outside the Ladder Company 10 firehouse opposite the site of the World Trade Center in New York, September 10, 2006. Bush lay a wreath at Ground Zero before visiting a chapel for a memorial service. REUTERS/Jason Reed (UNITED STATES)

Does he ever just take a moment to make himself aware of his surroundings? Ever?

1. To be fair, he pretty much picks every day
to be an idiot.

39. It's an idiot-proof strategy ... so to speak.
That is, it provides compelling proof of what an idiot he is.

2. Incredibly telling photo
Since September 11th, bush and his supporters have trampled all over the United States Flag and the constitution. But his supporters don't care, hell football season has started.

21. Looks like an "acting out" gesture. "I Own '9/11' and I wipe my feet on
it." His behavior has always been bizarre but this is really grotesque. Reminds me of when he grabbed that woman's jacket and cleaned his eyeglasses on it.

3. Well he's been trampling on the flag since day one so why should
this day be any different?

4. Interesting.
Looks to me as if Laura's trying to stop him stepping on it.

8. I wonder how she can stand him?
I would rather live in a one room shack then have to sleep next to that monster.

12. She probably can't.
But what alternative does she have? She'd face the wrath of the Bushies if she tried to escape.

9. What an inconsiderate clod. He would no doubt walk through
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 02:42 PM by AndyA
someone's prize flowers they'd spent years growing and nurturing if it made it more convenient for him.

The visualization of him trampling all over the American flag is surreal and ironic, though...

14. He wanted max exposure. You know how he is.



It's hard work being that stupid. Not everyone can handle it.


So he wants credit for his efforts.

15. "Look honey
they've made us a New DOORMAT for the White House.. isn't that Sweet?"

"Shut up you XANAX hag, don't you know nothin'? This here is a special moment, the trampling of the Flag on 911.. now GIT over here.."

Or as they say when a Republican first wakes up and realises what Bush has done to his country:

BUSH KNOWED.

17. As I asked in another thread with this pic
Do they have some sort of idiot filter they put on their cameras that makes georgie look like a dolt in every single picture they take of him? But just to see him stepping on the flag with that stupid look on his face is another classic bush moment. It never ends.

28. I think he does this shit on purpose, to keep us talking about the stuff
that really matters.

Or maybe he WANTS us to impeach him and can't get any democrats off their ass to do it.

29. Not to worry
The mainstream media will spin it as a special honor that he stood on this carpet.
The caption for the photo sort of implies that this is okay -- they are
deliberately standing on that commemoration carpet.
