[Maddy McCall]

1. ....

:cry: :patriot:

k/r

[Mz Pip]

2. Tragic

It needs a caption

"I went to Iraq and all I got were my legs blown off and a photo-op with Bunnypants." :sarcasm:

Just when I think I cannot have more contempt for Bush...

Mz Pip
:dem:

[SharonRB]

3. And Commander Pissypants

Is just using him for a photo op. How sad.

[file83]

40. Remember when Bush called Iraq just a "comma"....

[Rex]

4. Bush is mentally ill. I think he enjoys this kinda stuff.

Sick fucker.

[Stephanie]

5. I think that's very close to the truth.

It's the Caligula factor.

[Rex]

7. Yes and we all know what happened to Rome under Caligula.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

38. Where's Claudius???

[SammyWinstonJack]

50. I think he really does. Smirking little pissant!

sick fucker. Indeed! :argh:

[Aviation Pro]

6. What....a....

cocksucker.

[southerncrone]

8. How can this possibly happen? Unbelievable!

How can anyone in this country SMILE & let that SICKO touch them when their son has lost his legs for NOTHING!

I know our math comprehension is down in this country, but 2+2=4 is not that hard to deduce.

Only the MOST EVIL could stand w/this family & smile for the camera when he is the cause of this boy's permanent disability.
:cry:

[Stephanie]

9. I think he's lost his hands as well

at least the right >

[ThingsGottaChange]

10. Smiling like he's showing off a trophy.

What a sick fuck! How much more are we expected to take?!?!?!?

[Rex]

11. We're expected to eat a shit sandwich everyday and smile

and ask for more!

[thereismore]

48. Like a trophy fish. nt

[madrchsod]

12. makes my problem so small that i`m ashamed of myself..

it`s not his fault ..it`s hillary and all of us who do not want anymore kids coming home to live like this soldier

[Madspirit]

13. k&r...n/t

[madrchsod]

14. ...bush did`t shed a tear..but we do

[Stephanie]

16. It's his mother that kills me.

She's so thrilled about meeting Bush the Decider.

33. I think that's her purse?

It's just so touching and so bizarre. She got all dressed up for the meeting. She didn't realize her skirt was transparent in the light. Her husband got dressed up too, in his fashion. They are so excited to meet Bush the Celebrity. What do you want to bet he called her "Mom?" I'm sure he couldn't be bothered to learn their names. Why does he do meetngs like this on the runway? It's so demeaning to the honorees. He does this every time he lands somewhere - hands an award to somebody or does a quick meeting ON THE RUNWAY.

[alphafemale]

35. It's some sort of paper. It's rolled in a tube the first picture. nt

[Stephanie]

36. Ah!

Security probably took her purse away so the Cowardly Chimp wouldn't be afraid.

[LuckyLib]

63. It's an autographed picture of Chimpy McSmartAss.

[onecent]

69. Yes, Stephanie...I see what you mean. These people HAVE NO CLUE

what this monster is doing to families. HOW CAN ANYONE SMILE when their son has been burned, blown to bits, no legs, half his arms...
and PROBABLY no good insurance to handle his life and his medical needs.

Stupid lemmings.

[brentspeak]

70. Stupid comment on your part

Who knows what the backstory here is.

[leftchick]

76. I wonder if she has more kids to offer up to the king?

for canon fodder. Despicable! :(

[peekaloo]

15. I'm sure Bu$h will keep in touch over the years.

Another pic for the "trophy case".

Something about that young man's dad catches my eye. His love for his son and his heartbreak is evident.


I truly loathe that rat bastard fascist waste of carbon and water world leader pretend asswipe.

[w8liftinglady]

17. I cn't comment-itall come out-fuck you,you coward.

[FoxNewsSucks]

18. That soldier & his family won't be smiling

when they find out what the lying criminal Bush Bastard has done to the VA budget.

[Rex]

20. Or when the news loses interest in his story and the VA can't come

through with his disability check. I feel so sorry for his family right now, the father kinda look likes he knows what is up.

[AndyA]

19. It's pathetic and disgusting and disturbing.

So proud to meet the man that mutilated her son, and almost killed him.

What is the world coming to? She's unfit to be a mother, both of this guy's parents are unfit to be parents. They should be screaming their blood heads off. Cindy Sheehan will be glad to tell them how parents should act when someone messes with their kids.

Very sad. :(

[w8liftinglady]

21. more Bush propaganda,I feel for his wife,I wish she could contat me

I have tons o rehab experience-esp when i;m sober...

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Bush- "well, you have no hands or feet. Isn't that uniquely American?" n/t

[two gun sid]

23. That picture should be entered into evidence...

at the smirking motherfuckers war crimes trial in The Hague. I never thought I could hate someone like I hate that fratboy fuckstick.

[Poiuyt]

24. Bush has a history with amputees

"As you can possibly see, I have an injury myself -- not here at the hospital, but in combat with a cedar.
I eventually won. The cedar gave me a little scratch. As a matter of fact, the Colonel asked if I needed first aid when she first saw me.
I was able to avoid any major surgical operations here, but thanks for your compassion, Colonel."
--George W. Bush, after visiting with wounded veterans from the Amputee Care Center of Brooke Army Medical Center,
San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 1, 2006

so compassionate

[la la]

25. that young man

can't be more than 19 or 20 years old.

I hate bush.

[Chico Man]

26. Bush probably made him wear the sunglasses

So he wouldn't have to look him in the eye.

[Stephanie]

27. I wonder if he can see?

His body's so destroyed, I wonder if his eyes are ok.

[Chico Man]

30. True, perhaps he is blind as well

Sad no matter what.

[alphafemale]

34. It does look like his face may have been burned.

It's the parents puffing their chests out that get to me.

Where the hell do they find these people who'll consent to these photo ops?

[NancyBreen]

29. He doesn't look anybody in the eye. nt

:evilfrown:

[ThatsMyBarack]

53. Welcome to DU, NancyBreen!

:hi: :patriot:

[SammyWinstonJack]

59. bu$h should be ashamed, certainly he shouldn't be smirking for the camera.

If that were my son, bu$h wouldn't have gotten within an inch of him.

71. Who's going to miracle YOU up a new brain?

[Mind_your_head]

32. Yeah....

I'm glad to see that the soldier didn't cover/hide *some* of his wounds. I think that was a subtle message right there - take note all you college republicans....you're not so smart that that couldn't be YOU, some day soon as a matter of fact.

The war machine needs it's fodder. It doesn't care from where it comes. The maw of war devours ALL, it's indiscriminate.

[PBass]

37. They're huge Kool Aide fans, obviously. They think Bush is a "great man"

and all that crap. This is probably the most exciting moment in their lives. Some folks don't just drink the Kool Aide, they bathe in it too.

I'd even bet that if you ask the soldier "You've been injured so severely, so permanently. Does getting a chance to meet the president make up for that?" that the soldier would probably say "Yes"

Ten years from now, maybe a different answer. But right now, "Yes".

Just my opinion.

[rhiannon55]

39. I can hear the Idiot now

"You know who you remind me of, Stumpy? That guy in that Johnny get his gun movie. Ever see it? Damn good movie. Sad. Heh heh heh."

I despise that horrible fucker more than I ever thought possible. Will this nightmare never end?

[LibDemAlways]

41. How those people could be so clueless as to pose for

a pic with the monster responsible for those injuries is beyond me. Chimp looks like he reeled in a big one, and his hanging on them is reminiscent of his disgraceful behavior toward the 9/11 rescue workers when he posed with the bullhorn. He's scum.

[file83]

42. Caption:

I lost both my legs in Iraq, and all I got was this lousy photo op.

[pepperbear]

43. Thanks George. Wonder what he might have been doing had YOU not intervened? n /t

[SammyWinstonJack]

68. Walking around, hugging his parents? george is an a$$hole!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

44. It's definitely among the saddest

I've seen some truly heart wrenching photos in my time. What makes this one qualify is that it was unnecessary and never should have been allowed to take place.

Actually, I think this makes me more angry than sad when I think about it.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

45. emmm, errr..

What a fucking moron from Hell Bush is.

He talks to GOD.

He escaped going to Vietnam because --- well, you fill in the blank ______________

He got kind of elected but since his brother helped count the votes...

If you are a black voter, well, huh-huh... yer vote doesn't count

I want to grab his horrid, white neck and....

Here's a question... (shhhh, it's rhetorical but I was wondering...) So what's up with the kids parents sucking up to OldFuckFace? Don't they get it....MrPresidentShitHead doesn't care one fuck for their poor kid... Dad should be laying DumbAssShitOnA-Stick out with a 1-2 punch ----

Please someone, make the merry-go-round stop before I toss my cookies...

[ThatsMyBarack]

54. "Kind of elected?"

Not the same thing as truly and honestly elected, is it? Not even close.

[Cronus Protagonist]

46. Sadly, there are even sadder images, like this one...

[alphafemale]

58. omg. Do you have any background for that?

I'm guessing wife/girlfriend and her father?

[Cronus Protagonist]

60. Yes

They wanted the photo removed because they're still for the war. Sad, isn't it?

[alphafemale]

65. Still....Their grief leaps out at you.

That's even worse than that photo of the young woman laying prostrate on the ground in front of the tombstone.

[republicansarewhores]

47. What would make me feel a little better after viewing that sickening photo op...

Would be to see this one:



What a beady eyed little bastard our sociopath in chief is who uses these young men and women to insulate his hubris...

RAW

[itcfish]

49. Why in Heaven's

Name would these poor people pose with the man that caused thier son such grief??

[OwnedByFerrets]

51. It doesnt make me sad.......

It makes me fucking furious.:mad: :mad:
And not only at the Dictator-in-Chief, but also at the smiling faces on the others.
If that SOB came anywhere near me under those circumstance, I would scream fucking murder at the war criminal.

55. What would Freeps say about this photo?

Too busy fiiling their SUV gas tanks with that Kool-Aid, I suppose....:eyes:

[LibDemAlways]

57. They would say that the young man and his

family should be grateful that "the President" took time out from his busy schedule to pose for a picture with them.

As for the young man's injuries, the average freep would probably say "shit happens."

[lonestarnot]

72. And they would say he is a hero because he got blown up.

[debbierlus]

56. Omg. Omg. Omg.

I don't know what to say to that....

[tbyg52]

61. Oh dear god

I just went back and saw W between the parents. Between that and today's events, I feel the need to just sit down and have a good cry.

[spanone]

62. yea, that poor fella's from Tennessee. a photo op for all times.

[ikojo]

64. He went over to Iraq whole and came back

broken inside and out.

[onecent]

66. I'd spit right at ****'s fucking feet. Fucking moran. I am so sick of this

little twerp...and I'm more afraid of what the little shit is up too.

I feel like I'm living in a nightmare.....back in the 50's and 60's life was soooo safe, secure, warm and innocent.

I fear for my grandchildren after I'm gone.

[JanMichael]

73. Ah fuck. What a bastard...

Edited to avoid Gitmo...

[frogcycle]

67. no, this is

74. Moth*r Fook!

Rathole disgusting.

[Xenotime]

75. * is proud that he ruined this guy's life.
