Shrub's New Prop: A Briefcase
The reading glasses were laughable enough, but now...

For 3 years, whenever shrub has returned from a trip--especially from his Potemkin ranch--he has been photographed getting off his helicopter on the South lawn carrying his dog or nothing at all.

For the last several landings, however, he has gotten off the helicopter carrying a huge briefcase!! He started that when he returned from the ranch recently, after the bloodbath in Iraq, and continued after returning from several campaign trips.

Can you believe that?!! Rove must have figured it would make shrub look like he is always working, even when away from the WH. ROFLMAO!!!

reminding the terra'ists he has his paw on the button 24/7, in case God taps him on the shoulder and says "Time to make the mushrooms grow".

Makes me sleep well at night.

4. Did they give up on him holding the book...I guess they had to
when he let it slip that he doesn't read.

14. Was it cuffed to his wrist?
Does he have the only key to open it? He thinks he is James Bond.

16. he has a new overcoat, too
Instead of that too-short wool thing. On the morning of the day he gave the press conference, I saw pics of him in his new long coat, with the briefcase.

17. Smirk doesn't do any work in the White House, either.
Bob Woodward was on NPR this morning and he said that "Bush keeps a clean desk," adding that every time Bobbo talked to the unelected moron, the Oval Office desk (once owned by President Kennedy, IIRC) was free of paperwork, pens, an in-box -- everything. The crazy monkey Bush hasn't done a lick of work his entire life. And it shows.



"Whaddaya need a beefcake for?"

18. So let's start a "What's in the briefcase?" thread.
He doesn't need a gun in the case because he's followed by the secret service. And everyone reads his briefs to him...so...what can it be?

20. Helps him keep his balance.
It gives him something to focus on so he pays attention to where he's walking. He is so accident prone. Oh, maybe it holds the scotch.

29. Alternatively ...

31. Bingo! This reeks of Missus Karen
Is it a brand new case, or a scuffed up leather one?

I imagine it has extra Made in China lapel flags in there. A guy can never have too many Made in China lapel flags.

Here is the real question: is the briefcase made by Halliburton?
