1. Calling that guy an asshole is an insult to orifices everywhere.

What adjective does fit Smirk?

[Dhalgren]

3. "War Criminal"....

[John Gauger]

27. You took the words right out of my mouth.

[texas1928]

5. spoiled child.

Half of those pics make him look like he is pouting.

[Warpy]

17. Pouting and tantrums

"Spoiled child" about says it all.

[EstimatedProphet]

9. Shitheel

[warrior1]

2. asshole

[displacedtexan]

4. Thanks, Kadie!

I watched that whole fiasco, and this photographer
captured it beautifully.

[Kadie]

34. I listened more than I watched this morning...

but these photos seem to depict what I was hearing. He was really losing it.

[johnnyrocket]

6. What a punk-ass smarmy shit-fer-brains.

[Supersedeas]

31. fithy shell of a turd

[Divernan]

7. He has improved his scowling/sneering ability in the last few years.

I don't recall ever seeing a picture of Jack Kennedy, Bill Clinton or Al Gore with such a sour look on their faces on any occasion, let alone at a press conference. The expression is however similar to the way Cheney and Condi routinely look.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Don't forget Nixon

[Cha]

40. Nobody beats bush for pure

ButtUglyness.

That fucker's ugly in side and out.

[Bluebear]

8. He looks three sheets to the wind again! nt

[davidwparker]

29. My thought too. Look at the initial pictures where he is looking at the

steps and walking down. He's focusing too much for that task. Either been drinking or he's dreading the mechanics of descending steps (that is, discomfort).

[orleans]

10. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww n/t

[goclark]

11. He is one mean BULLY , the Emperor Has No Clothes! nt

[EnviroBat]

12. Wouldn't you just love...

To bury a fist in to that smug, puke-looking face?

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. I wouldn't want to hurt my knuckles

I'd much rather kick him where he'd remember it.

[FooFootheSnoo]

37. it wouldn't hurt your knuckles

his face is made of dough. LOL. Sorry, it's been a long week!

[napi21]

13. Quite conspicuous that he was pi**ed today!

I know we all saw it, but even the talking heads were talking about him being angry. David Gergen is usually a pretty straight shooter, and he was the first one I heardsaying Shrub was unusually angry today! The pics sure prove the point!

[janx]

16. Gergen went farther than that.

He referred to the president--three times--as being BELLIGERENT.

[Cha]

42. Didn't anyone have a clue

what set the chimp off?

[AndyA]

14. He just detests having to do this kind of shit.

It would be so much easier if he were a Dictator, wouldn't it?

He looks as if he could just vomit on all of them. You can tell he's angry, and would likely have everyone who questions him or stands in his way tortured and put to death.

Kind of like Saddam Hussein, no?

Get out of our house, George. You are not our leader, you do not belong there.

[janx]

18. Something's up.

I've never seen him so pissed off.

[AspenRose]

20. Maybe he's upset about L'affaire Condi north of the border

:shrug:

[FSogol]

19. In the last picture, he's pouting like a 4 year old.

Are you going to cry? Crybaby, cry.

He has to be drunk to have to raise his arms to steer around rose bushes.

[BurtWorm]

21. Tiptoe... through the tulips... through the garden...

[bif]

22. Is he wearing morticians face powder?

In photo #7 he looks like a corpse complete with the awful powder they put on the dead. I've seen folks in caskets who looked better than him.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

23. msnbc served up this one for a moment...too

[janx]

25. Where are there more pics?

I'd like to see more! ;-)

[chat_noir]

38. janx, in case you missed these from yesterday

They seem to beg for captions and photoshopped quotes.

[janx]

39. Thank you!

He has lost it--completely.

[John Gauger]

26. So how many Jim Beans do you think he has had this morning?

He looks so fucking drunk doesn't he have handlers that make sure he doesn't appear smashed in public?

[Neecy]

28. awwww.....what a patriotic little bunny

Here is he, decked out in red, white and blue with a slew of American flags behind and to the side of him.

U.S.A.!!! U.S.A.!!!!

As hard as he tries to look patriotic, as soon as he opens his filthy mouth and trashes American values and decency he sort of loses the glow, doesn't he? It makes my skin crawl to see him deck himself out in the flag and then symbolically desecrate it.

[windbreeze]

30. What the hell is it with all the flags????

Subliminal messages??? you know...I absolutely detest this man and all he stands for....DETEST....you hear??? DETEST!!!!
I better move on, cause I am primed for going on one hell of a rant...

[niyad]

32. lots of boxes with little red x's, no pics

[Geoff R. Casavant]

33. Who walks like that?

Arms out to the side to steady himself walking down stairs, looking down at his feet. Looks like he's 13 months old and just learning to walk.

[janx]

35. Here's another one:

[Sydnie]

36. This look

runs in the family.

[pdxmom]

41. I listened to his press conference on the radio driving into work

this morning. It was kind of a surreal experience. My whole thought was that he was certainly losing it. It was beyond angry...it sounded like desperation. Not seeing his facial expression or body language, but just listening to his voice gave me a different frame of reference.

I think he sounded scared...not angry or belligerent. He sounded like he was totally desperate and grasping.

[yojon]

43. Look at his suit!

Talk about wrapping yourself in the flag!

[tinfoil tiaras]

44. My grade went to the zoo on thurs

and we saw some chimps and I was REALLY tempted to shout really loudly, "OMG, look y'all! It's the president! Grooming one of his friends...and eating lice..." :rofl:
