[Human Torch]

US President George W. Bush speaks to reporters during a press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, DC, after returning from a surprise trip to Baghdad, Iraq. Bush said that his latest trip to Baghdad had banished any doubt that Iraq's new leaders are determined to secure their country, eventually allowing a US withdrawal.(AFP/Brendan Smialowski)

1. Arrogant asshole. n/t

[butterfly77]

9. Ditto...

that first shot is what gets my blood boiling when I see that expression, this bastard really thinks he doesn't have to answer to anyone. I have been waiting for the day when he is in a situation he can't get out of and his minions can't help, whatever the situation I hope it is longer than ten minutes and is caught on camera and it can't be hidden.

14. Geez, he sure looks pissed off for a guy looking to get a bounce

Probably pissed because the spiral approach to Baghdad prevented him from having a pre-deplaning cocktail...

[acmavm]

2. Jeeze, I don't know about you guys, but I'm sure impressed.

:sarcasm:

[Supersedeas]

3. * needs his script--do not ask the unscripted questions

[SteppingRazor]

4. The second of the four photos looks funny....

like it's been touched up or something.

[Tempest]

5. The only time you see eyes like that

Is when you're looking into the eyes of someone stoned on drugs, prescription or otherwise.

[SteppingRazor]

11. Nah. I know the look you speak of....

I've looked in the mirror too many times. :evilgrin:

The look on his face you only see on dangerous psychotics.

[devinsgram]

15. Have you ever heard of

the saying "If looks good kill." Well, that is the look. I bet he'd love to put them on front lines in Iraq.

[Tempest]

17. The angle of the camera shot plays a big part as well

From another angle the same look could be completely different.

Just wanted to bring that up.

[mnhtnbb]

21. It's called the evil eye. Or maybe the eyes of evil?

[DoYouEverWonder]

22. Jeez, I thought they were the eyes of the devil

That is one of the scariest pics I've ever seen of him.

[xxqqqzme]

8. you can really see the pancake and rouge

in that one as well as the under eyes dark circle concealment.

[niyad]

10. frodo failed-bush has the ring!

[DoYouEverWonder]

23. You know

that's how I feel today.

Frodo failed, god help us all.

[Human Torch]

18. Looks like Photoshop's "Median" filter...

...a little "Digital Botox" to smooth the wrinkles out of The Decider.

:evilgrin:

[la la]

20. I constantly expect

to see the head spin and the pea soup spew out.

Those pictures just make me more certain that THE MAN IS EVIL !

( I meant to shout.)

[fooj]

6. The first pic looks like he's thinking "I'm gonna tell my mommy and daddy"

What a fricking embarrassment. He's...

I can't even find the right words.......

[okieinpain]

7. hahahaha he's trying to look in charge. man oh man.

yeah, lets show them terr'st who's in charge. hell we'll sneak right in and out of their country, that will show them who's boss.

12. A series of shots demonstrating how a sadistic pedophile seduces a child.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. Watching "Control Room" again, I noted that Rumsfeld is always gesturing

dramatically. It distracts from the spoken word. Remembering that the human animal is some 90% visually oriented...

I wonder if this means Bush will carry said torch.

[madame defarge]

16. Telling exchange with LA Times journalist...

Today, at a presser, this exchange happened with Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times:

Bush: You gonna ask your question with shades on?

Wallsten: Yes...

Bush: But there's no sun out here.

Wallsten: It depends on your perspective.

Bush: Touché.

Wallsten is blind.

19. That one deserves its own thread...

...seriously. I hope a lot of people see it here, but you should consider posting a new thread to draw attention to it. PERFECT example of the Compassionate Conservative-In-Chief.

:patriot:

[gratuitous]

24. I think he's been taking stinkeye lessons from Condi

The Secretary of Stinkeye.
