Bush goes fishing in Kennebunkport, "turning the corner" on his yacht
Nice video on the news of Bush vacationing, riding Daddy's boat, fishing off the coast of Kennebunkport, Maine. "Message: I care." The economy is great, turning the corner! Doesn't every down-home red blooded American real-guy-you'd-rather-have-a-beer-with ride the Atlantic off their parent's oceanfront mansion?

3. Happy campers, one and all!

He looks more comfortable when he's clearing fake brush off his fake ranch in Crawford.

How can middle Americans call him "one of their own"?

4. What a tin ear
I can't believe anyone still buys the "Karl Rove is a genius" garbage. Anyone who would let their candidate be photographed fishing on an expensive boat right after a slew of bad economic news was released is an idiot.

9. Better still, he has a "fishing guide"
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 03:34 PM by plastic_turkeys


(I love the Yahoo file name of the photo "Bush mess"...)

Notice he has a "fishing guide" along with him, macho-Prez doesn't even bait the hook or pull the fish out of the water himself! Can't you picture it? "I got one, I got one!" as he hands the pole over to the "fishing guide" to haul in! LMAO!

8. This doesn't look like a happy family moment. Just my take on it.

Everyone of them looks angry and or unhappy.

11. Remember the Kerry vacation "news" stories?
So where are all the similar stories about Bush taking a luxury vacation in his expensive yacht like millionaires do?

14. Maine has fairly strict laws about drinking and piloting a boat
Not accusing Georgie of anything, mind you...just an observation.

:P

16. Kennybunkport has been listed as one of the dirtest
coastlines in the country. Nice. BTW, I heard that on NPR this morning.

19. Oh, and one other little known fact...
if he's out there fishing that means that no one else can go out. The Secret Service have a huge zone of protection around him. And, if he decides to play golf at the local course, no one else can get near the place. I have family up there so I know first hand that the Bush family is a real pain in the ass for locals.

22. He looks most at home there..
.. I've noticed that the time he spends in KennyBoyBunktport seems to be the time he enjoys the most. His expressions, etc., make it seem that he is most at home amongst his billionaire family and friends.. NOT on his supposed pig farm, or chowing down at some diner in Crawford for a photo op He's a rich boy hired to play a part, but it got screwed up when 9/11 came about.. they assured him it would be an easy gig...

23. Champagne taste, not beer. Caviar, not barbeque.
When he finishes a down-home "diner" photo op I can hear him "Can you believe the shit they eat down there, Pickles?"

24. they look like one of those dictators lording over a banana republic
in Latin America, cavorting in big sunglasses amid their yachts and limousines and villas, while the peasantry shivers as the resources are sucked out of them for the oligarchs.

25. Thanks for the fumble, dude!
Anybody remember what Bush The Elected was always doing when there was a hurricane, wildfire or other natural disaster raging in America?

That's right. He was out in his goddam speedboat. You couldn't find Worthless Fuck I anywhere near his duty station when things got rough!

Now, here's the whole country going to hell, and where's the Little King? Out in Daddy's goddam speedboat.

Priceless!

:evilgrin:
