1. Here's a picture of that infamous stunt.


Notice the sadistic grin on his face, knowing that he's interrupting the Thanksgivings of hundreds of troops by forcing them to serve as props in his little photo op. Depriving them of the one small comfort that they could have had while being in a hellhole far away from their homes. He just loves turning real people in real crisis situations into props for his little potemkin fantasies. He did the exact same thing with Katrina, even delaying getting help to people so that he and Pickles could use them for photo ops. He had that same shit eating grin on his face too. He just loves using people for his own personal aggrandizement.

I apologize for the late night rant.

2. did the same on his first visit to NOLA, too
Katrina victims weren't through with their punishment: then came Dubya.

3. It's ALL about BUSH, isn't it?

He just has to play dress up and act like the big shot.

He needs to be the center of attention, the object of adoration.

4. Those are great pictures Neil.
I wish that I had the sort of talent that you have. All I know how to do is sit here on DU and bitch.

I hope you're getting publised somewhere.

6. Thanks. We are getting editorial pages now.
We have had two cartoons published on an Op-Ed page with one of the Cox Newspapers. A third one is scheduled for later this week.

These are the two published already in a paper with a circulation of 16,000. Not huge, but a good start.



Here is the one that is going up this week.


We have one going up Friday that I predict will be republished in some vegan publications. I'm going to allow them to use it if they want to. It's very vegan sensitive, especially following Turkey day.

7. That whole episode is a microcosm of all that is BUSH.
It's all about the photo and video APPEARANCE created. These guys are marketing guys, and they are selling HIM and his crap. It's worked until the last few months, but now it's not.

America has kicked this guy to the curb.

11. Don't forget - those troops were hand-picked for the photo-op
The others, who maybe weren't quite as adoring of the Boy King, had to wait for their dinners.
