NYT cover: Bushes glaring at Clintons (king 184)

[robbedvoter]

As I saved the pic to my desktop, the name that came with it was "king 184"

[fasttense]

1. Look at the patronizing smile Laura is wearing. She looks disgusted. n/t

[LeftNYC]

3. easy being a stepford wife...nt

[Viva_La_Revolution]

23. she looks drugged. so what's new? nt

[ariellyn]

70. I was thinking the exact same thing. No poker face there. nt

[no_hypocrisy]

2. It's just harmless sibling rivalry, n/t

[Spazito]

4. I am sure the SUSTAINED STANDING OVATION didn't help

the king and queen's mood, lol. I just loved it!

[rodeodance]

5. well, to the people in the church--I think the Clintons were the "First

Family"

[blm]

6. Shouldn't that be King 1984?

.

[robbedvoter]

26. I was actually thinking the same thing!

[DoYouEverWonder]

7. He's got his Little Lord Pissypants look on his face

Pickles looked po'd that she had to rearrange her busy schedule.

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. W and Pickles just need their Burger King crowns...

to make it "official" that he's king and she's queen.

Pickles looks like she's just sucked a lemon, and W looks like he's just about had enough of Bill and Hil.

[robbedvoter]

9. NYT's best editorials are made in photos

[deminks]

10. Smirks just can't hide his disdain for non 'family' members, can he.

I am quite sure he was uncomfortable throughout. Pickles is juiced. She just wants a ciggy. I watched the CSPAN coverage. I refused to turn on the so called media coverage, although from what I have heard here the reich wing is in attack mode. Let the swiftboating begin. I am not listening.

Whine, whine, whine

[mattclearing]

17. Whatever.

The only light Republicans are shining is white phosphorous on innocent people in Iraq.

Maybe if the President went to more events with open admission, people would get enough opportunities to tell him what they really think of him that he could get through a funeral without being humiliated.

"democrat politicians". Only repubs use that phrase, hmmmmm.....

31. Goodbye, Monkeybowlawyer

BTW, that's a really stupid fucking screen name. :hi:

44. You don't even know the reference, do you?

You're not familiar with The American Mercury, are you?

Yeah, I didn't think so. Cheerio.

[Binka]

46. Now You Are Offended? Personal Insults Is All You've Posted. Get Lost

Say hi to your mom after you come out of the basement.

[Bridget Burke]

56. Insults will be answered by insults.

But you won't have to suffer much longer.

[Sugar Smack]

58. You're using toothless arguments & right-wing talking points.

I expect your stay here will be short.

[robbedvoter]

47. It's not stupid. It's candid. It's Alberto Gonzales, ladies & Gents.

The Monkey's lawyer (although paid to be the People's Lawyer)

[Binka]

51. Gawd Who Knew Gonzo Lived In His Mom's Basement?

[robbedvoter]

67. You learn a new one every day, huh?

:shrug:

[mattclearing]

35. Mrs. King would have applauded herself, were she still alive.

Somewhere in heaven she was smiling.

[devilgrrl]

53. Yeah, I love it when righties discuss "Class"...

makes you wonder how they know about it since they haven't a shred of "class" in the first place.

[Jo March]

57. The King family invited the speakers, monkeyblower

Oops! Got your little screen name wrong there, didn't I?

:rofl:

[deminks]

19. Again the attack mode.

Sigh. It is really sad. Smirky just reminds me of a wannabe roman emperor, all sittin sideways in his chair. The standing ovation that the Clintons received really bothered Smirky. You, too, evidently. Are they paying you enough? Are you sure?

Buh bye, now.

[Missy M]

20. So if Bush and Laura being there wasn't political I don't know...

what is. It wasn't a political rally, it was about people talking of Coretta Scott King's life and what she stood for. What light are Republicans shining? If anything they have dimmed the lights for this country and the world. The one thing Republicans can do is dish it out but they sure can't take it!!!!!

34. I knew "Clintons" in the title would attract you fast...Keep pounding

making your points relevantly

[Missy M]

37. Oh, come on now. Bush uses everything as a campaign....

stop. His problem this time was he couldn't hand pick the crowd. Bush and company did a real bang-up job for blacks regarding Hurricane Katrina now didn't they. The Republicans have controlled congress since 1994 and in those 40 years you are talking about we have had Nixon, Ford, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush and now jr. Please enlighten me on what they have done?

54. Wow! But "sneer boy" said "If federal gov. responsible, so am I"

A very qualified statement - but do you realize you just said W is responsible for the criminal negligence after Katrina?

[Sydnie]

60. Yeah, you don't want to talk about FEMA and Katrina

Can't spin that can you? So, just don't talk about it.

So, monkeyblowboy, What have YOU personally done to advance race relations?


That's what I thought. Nothing.

[Missy M]

69. I don't get your point. I merely responded to you making a....

statement regarding Democrats and blacks the last 40 years. I certainly don't need a history lesson, I'm just stating how the Republicans have been around the last 40 years and I'm wondering what they have done. With that many Republican presidents what did they do? I know they want to get rid of Affirmative Action, they coined the phrase "Welfare Queens", to mention just a few.

[Sydnie]

52. Funny, I can google and find pictures of CSK with Clinton and with

Carter, but not one, NOT ONE with either of the bush's. NOT ONE!

Obviously, you weren't listening to everything those two said about CSK at all. You only saw what was the pea under the mattress as far as your party (yes, the republicans that are telling you what you should be outraged about) were concerned.

NOT ONE picture of CSK and the current pResident or his poppy. NOT ONE.

[Oilwellian]

72. I can think of one

Mrs. King was presenting a portrait of her husband to Preznit Pissyface to be hung in the White House and his response was: "Thanks, I can't wait to hang it."

[Tin Man]

62. Poor W, the whitehouse wasn't permitted to screen the audience for him.

:nopity:

[Sydnie]

64. And there were no prewritten questions for him to

answer so he could appear to be "one" with the crowd!

[robbedvoter]

66. Presidentin' is hard work!

[Spazito]

25. LOL, straight from the Rove talking points, well done!

Welcome to DU

:popcorn:

[hatrack]

28. You read blast faxes and emails well, don't you?

Have a nice day!

[robbedvoter]

40. I wonder: was "shine the light" supposed to be a leit motif?

On edit: Question was not addressed to Monkey's lawyer, or I would have phrased it differently:
did the nice man asked that you keep repeating "Republicans shine the light" or you just ran out of words?

[Bridget Burke]

29. Dear Abby has a "Test" for married people with problems...

"Would I be better off with him/her, or without him/her?" Hillary made her decision. Are you sure your wife is going to wait until you mess around? But I urge you to continue resisting those cuties who throw themselves at you every day.

Martin Luther King died for being "political." Mrs. King was politically active before she met him & continued the fight after he died.

My local news didn't mention any political aspects of the funeral this morning. They played a brief clip of Your President, with that brain-damaged effect we know so well. (Sincere apologies to any actually fighting brain damage.) It was followed by a brief clip of Bill Clinton--& thunderous applause.

59. How can you presume that Hillary's decision was political?

They do have a daughter. And she's turned out better than Your President's poor lost girls--even though Bushie's failings have been well hidden.

[Sydnie]

63. Funny, I don't think CSK thought it was a bad way to live

I would bet all of her decisions were made on political lines.

Once you've been watched by the FBI, I would imagine you weigh all actions carefully, don't you?

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

73. White Republican males are such experts on what women,

black people and Democrats should do, aren't they?

[robbedvoter]

32. Republicans shine the light? I guess I get Enron finally! Abramoff too!

Wow! What an unadulterate piece of crap!
Of course you don't care if Bush sneers - or spies, or tortures, or kills...They ALL deserve it.

45. Earth to Monkey's lawyer: we haven't had elections since 1996

and your crowd tried to undo the results of that one too.
You are NOT "the American People". You just...

[hatrack]

55. "Shine the light" on this Bush lie - enjoy!

Once again George Bush is a day late and a dollar short. He was supposed to be giving a Budget Photo-Op today, until he got shamed into appearing at the funeral along with Clinton, Carter, and Bush Sr.. I'm sure he couldn't stand the thought of being upstaged. What will happen to the unused backdrops? Scotty came up with the lamest excuse possible for the change in plans - see the second article below.

In a Change of Plans, Bush Says He Will Attend King's Funeral

By ELISABETH BUMILLER
Published: February 5, 2006

CRAWFORD, Tex., Feb. 4 — The White House announced here on Saturday that President Bush would attend the funeral of Coretta Scott King in Atlanta on Tuesday, postponing a scheduled trip to New Hampshire.

White House officials told reporters on Friday that Mr. Bush would be speaking about the federal budget on Tuesday in Manchester, N.H., but on Saturday afternoon the White House sent out an e-mail message saying that Mr. Bush would attend the funeral instead and was switching the New Hampshire trip to Wednesday. The president is also expected to speak at Mrs. King's funeral.

Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary, said in an e-mail message on Saturday that the change had been made because "the funeral arrangements were only very recently finalized" and the White House had not been ready to make an announcement until then. Mr. McClellan said "the president and Mrs. Bush are honored to be attending."

But Bishop Eddie Long, who will be officiating at the funeral services at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, said in a telephone interview on Saturday that he had initially heard from the King family that Mr. Bush would not be attending and that he planned to send Mrs. Bush and his father, the former president, instead. Mr. Long said he found out only on Saturday morning that Mr. Bush would be present after all.

38. The honorable woman was a political activist - fighting the power you

try to prop.
her life was celebrated yesterday - and what made it meaningful -
SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER
but you keep shining that "light" of yours -

[Jo March]

50. "Shine the light"?

What the hell are you smoking? Or snorting or drinking or injecting?

Coretta's life was about politics. Having political speakers at her funeral - think that was an accident? Her family planned the funeral!!

BTW, her name is Hilary and it's her business that she stayed with Bill.

Don't be a jerk. Think for yourself a little bit. You sound like you've been sipping the kool-aid.

"beyond shameful" - seems to me that I've heard that bandied about on FOX News lately...

[Sugar Smack]

61. Shine the light!!!!!

11. What is so amazing is that the B's could not hide

their true emotions! Did they not realize that they were on camera?!

[robbedvoter]

14. Yup. All naked - for all to see!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Yes, you have to wonder. What struck me was how SO out of

place they are. They are SO out of synch with the civil rights movement. They should not have even been invited.

[TechBear_Seattle]

18. No, it was right they were invited

Georgie should have been made to sit there, on camera, and not given a chance to speechify. Rather like an unruly child forced to sit through a six hour lecture by his betters on how naughty he has been.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. great analogy.

[robbedvoter]

49. Civil rights movement and PEOPLE, HUMAN BEINGS.

Remember, Dick voted AGAINST MLK DAY. You can only imagine W's vote - had he not lost that race for Congress.

[Tin Man]

24. Examine the posture - not that of a president, but rather a 5-year child

Insolence meets displeasure, manifested as insulting and inappropriate postures.

41. gebu and labu had to applaud just like the chumps

who attend their photo ops. apparently they found their own medicine

a little bitter.

71. One MLK quote for Monkey Blower - if you still lurk:
