Ike and Pope John XXIII



Ike and Italian Prime Minister Giovanni Gronchi



Ike and Archbishop Iakovos of New York



Ike and Charles DeGaulle



Bush couldn't lick Ike's boots, but he bowed too.

4. I knew this was going to come back and bite them in the ass
It always does.

Remember "how-dare-he-sit-in-the-Oval Office-without-a-jacket-Gate?" It took what, less than 24 hours to come up with pictures of others doing it?

This is just another installation in a LOOOOOONG series of this crap, which won't end until he's out of office.

6. The media didn't blink at anything unusual bushcheney did
or even cover it. How much coverage did they give the mishandling of 9/11, Katrina or countless other things they did? And if a newsman did cover it, it was soon dropped or covered up. The protest against bushcheney were not covered by the media even when the protesters numbered close to a million but the teabaggers get coverage when they are in the hundreds. The media has got a lot to answer for and I wonder when or it any of them are going to own up to it.

7. Nixon bowed to Hirohito!


This whole thing is so petty and stupid that I can't even bring myself to comment on it.

10. Don't they make a person mad. It's best to print these off and post them all round your town folks.

Let's kill this story dead and we need ads to highlight what Evan Bayh, Lieberman, Feinstein and Warner are trying to do to social security. It's essential folks know their mission to destroy it, it can't go into independent hands who will cut it to bits. The story was on Malloy's show tonight can catch it on podcast as long as the word gets out they can be stopped plus pressure on Coburn to pass veteran benefits. As Hartmann always says despair is not an option we have to do all we can to keep them honest and clean, no matter how hard that seems.
