falling over people at the Beijing Olympics?

Those were classic.

BTW, I don't think it should be called a library if the entire collection consists of copies of My Pet Goat.

Lower in the piece they had two pictures from the same sequence where one had the caps and one does not. It explains that the caps were obviously removed later after the first shot was taken.

There is not enough evidence to disclaim the picture!

However there is a long history reaching back to the start of photography regarding pictures that have been altered in one form or another.

Even Reagan and Poppy had the ability to relax and kid and put a crowd at ease without playing the monkey. Dubya simply lacked the gravitas

Him drunk and being dragged from the bleachers at the Olympics.

Him trying to open a locked door on the stage in China.

my all-time favorite.

A poster upthread remarked "lacking gravitas." The poor silly bastard. Just had no gravitas, not even a single ounce.

I love the one with Kofi Annan mopping his brow, too. You know he had to be praying, "God, help us."

gynecological love for that post.

Dedicated to the Fearless Leader and Decider:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." --Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

"You work three jobs? ... Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." --to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." --Washington, D.C., Dec. 19, 2000

"As yesterday's positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured." --on the No Child Left Behind Act, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2007

What a guiding light he was, a beacon that helped beach us all on the shores of infamy.

Hurrah!

Urm. Actually, we didn't. Things suck and most of it can be attributed directly to him and Darth.

....without all the photos of the protests along the ( first ) Inaugural route.
TIME magazine was one of the few media that published pictures and mentioned the outpouring of hatred and loathing at that time. And I've never heard of any protests like that at any Inauguration in modern times. Am I forgetting something?

Are there any sources of images of all his gaffes, domestic and abroad, and of the Inauguration protests?

And most assuredly there is a water-boarding exhibit?
