7. That is a wonderful idea. Hope they open somethig like that in the US.

[hendo]

9. I misread that at first

I dont think you really want to know what I thought it said though.

[silverojo]

2. God forbid Chimpy and the Xanax Queen do any volunteering

It might actually help them build some desperately-needed character. :mad:

[Bucky]

6. Xanax Queen? Cheney sure doesn't *act* like he's on no Xanax...

4. Here's a different pic of Dumbya that you can use.

He's at a desk in Camp David on the phone to troops somewhere overseas.

[Bucky]

8. well, shit, at least he's talking into the mouth piece for this photo op

[ColbertWatcher]

12. I think the NSA photoshopped that pic. n/t

[orleans]

13. he looks very brain dead. n/t

[goclark]

14. Correction ~ he is pretending to be talking to the troops

He is faking it and laughing because he thinks he has faked us out.

[lunatica]

18. He's pretending to talk on the phone...

They threw some blank papers on the desk to make it look like he's working and they turned on some cartoons on a tv so he could smile at some cartoon character having an anvil fall on its head. They even turned on the computer. These handlers don't miss a thing.
