1. Why is Pace out of uniform?

just curious, anybody know, is he "off duty" or something?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

4. Camp David has weird rules. No ties, and

at various times, they have had no uniform rules too.

I don't know if dumbya has them or not, but from this pic, it would appear so.

[Sal Minella]

7. "Mismatched trousers and jacket" also part of the C.D. Dress Code apparently.

I read that look on *'s face as "Ooooh, theres the cameras, I got to look like I'm listening hard and thinking hard. I wonder what he's talking about."

[Jim Sagle]

2. Gates: "But what about the American people?"

w: "FUCK the American people! I'll do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want, as long as I want, and to whomever I want!"

[Cyrano]

3. Gates is carefully explaining to him why there are no leaves on the trees.

And from Bush's puzzled look, we know that he just doesn't get it.

5. Looks like a trio of morticians discussing buying land for burial plots

[partylessinOhio]

6. * is looking more like his caricature.

Why is he always shown standing around outdoors in such unattractive places?

(Pace is a really strange looking bird.)

[Warren DeMontague]

8. "Really? I always thought Chicken of the Sea was made out of Chicken!" nt

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

12. Whoot!

I'm glad I wasn't eating any soup when I read this! :rofl:

[Warren DeMontague]

15. I can't take total credit for that---

apparently, Jessica Simpson actually said it.

[badgerpup]

9. "I be damn. So THAT'S what that "Z" in mah undies is for?"

Pace's thought bubble...
"MUST...KEEP...STRAIGHT...FACE"

[jimshoes]

10. Evey time I see * with

grown-ups, or trying to look official I always picture him as a Mike Luckovich cartoon... like this...

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. Bush: Are you sure there are no extradition treaties

with Paraguay?

[sniffa]

13. we're bound to find the bLair witch

we just got to stay the course.

[sweetheart]

14. "can i resign before i'm impeached?"

gates: I'll tell you whatever you want to hear, well whatever we all want to hear.. he he!

Bush: How long do i have to stand here and look interested for the camera; can i resign before i'm impeached?

Gooney bird: My career will outlast both these has-beens, better look interested and wait my turn.

[unkachuck]

16. I can't believe....

....you didn't get the girls, gates....do you still have that little red dress?....

[Kurovski]

17. "Ya know, you'd look pretty hot with a buzz-cut like ole Stretch here has."

[Little Wing]

18. Assfuck, dipshit, and howe

[Golden Raisin]

19. How many of the bastards

who voted against us can we throw into concentration camps? Will the generals balk at imposing martial law? Can we arrest Congresspeople?

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. "No sir, Surge is not a french name..."

:yoiks:

[Tinksrival]

21. Well this came to mind......

"Heh... heh, heh. Which one of you two can squeal just like a piggy? Heh, heh."

[krispos42]

22. Ah, finally got one. The "no leaves on tree" post was too funny to forget...

Bush: "I wanna build a fort. A SNOW fort. Right here, you see. Heh heh. And I thought you guys might be able to give me some recommendations.

Pace: "Sir, I'm sorry to report that there is no snow to make a fort from."

Bush: "Oh. Oh, I see. <pause> Can we get some?

Gates: "Well, we could make snow artifically, like they do on ski slopes?"

Bush: "Wow, they can make snow artro-, artifisc-, they can make fake snow?"

Gates: "Yes sir."

Bush: "Amazin'. God bless America's ingen-, injinyoo-, um, smarts."

Gates: "Amen, sir."

Bush: "So, can Halliburton make some of this fake snow?"

Gates: "Yes, sir, for $4 billion. As soon as General Pace draws up the plans they can get started. Should be ready by the 2009 inaguration."

Pace: "I've got the plans right here, sir. As you can see, the primary passive defenses-"

Bush: "The what?"

Pace (thinking to himself): This is gonna be a long fuckin' week...
