When is the last time you saw Bush shake hands with a workingman?
Seems like the last campaign and all during his tenure if he wanted a workingman for a prop he had CEOs dress up in hardhats. It is hard to remember a photo of him actual down on the shop floor talking to the working class. Of course that is in keeping with his philosophy on labor, when you want a working person just outsource that job to the CEOS.

1. Speaking as a workingman
I wouldn't want to shake his hand. A lot of us are the same way.

3. Well, I guess it has happened, but I'll bet Bunnypants* washed his hands
pretty quick to get teh stench of the Inferior Filthy Little Nobodies off his hands.

Bunnypants hates regular people. Perhaps he doesn't hate us, but thinks we are dumb animals, like Marie Antoinette.

7. Seeing pictures of former President Carter building homes for Habitat for
Humanity...very convincing.

Seeing spoiled, pampered rich boy George W. Bush pretending to be a workingman...one of the most ridiculous looking things I've seen in a long time.

10. Click on this link
http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3157.pdf

It is a pdf file.

Do a search on "loose" and you will find stuff like:

"Do not allow workers to wear loose clothing
or long hair. Loose clothing or long hair can be
easily caught up in rotating parts."

"Loose clothing or long hair can be
easily caught up in rotating parts."

"Avoid loose clothing that
could snag in moving parts and pull a worker into
harm."

But, you know, it also says:

"Use common sense in your decision making."

So it's pretty obvious Georgie is not familiar with any of this.

:P

13. reminds me of calvin coolidge
posing as a farmer in overalls...with patent leather shoes.

Take a look at the guy in the lower picture--looks like he's scared smirky is going to drill a hole in his hand!
