Why does Asshole always have to have his little podium?

[ronnykmarshall]

Does the fuck-wad think that makes him look more important?

[The Blue Flower]

1. Needs a place to put his notes

He can't speak coherently without his 72-point courier script.

[Oceansaway]

3. LoL...n/t

[L0oniX]

23. He's always drunk and needs it to keep the ground from spinning

[lumberjack_jeff]

2. because it matches his shoes. n/t

[Warpy]

4. He's ataxic due to wet brain

and needs it for balance.

[Rick Myers]

5. If workers didn't see the logo they'd have no idea why the little freak was there...

Tiny podium for a tiny little man!!!

[LSparkle]

6. It probably has a gun turret in it just in case ...

Code Pink shows up ...

[gratuitous]

7. Get used to it

For the rest of his life, Little Boots will be wearing and displaying constant reminders that he was the president, slapping that seal on every jacket he wears, his cowboy boots (that never saw a cow chip), his golf cart, golf clubs, hell, probably even his dogs.

[LSparkle]

10. No to mention his skivvies, his pens, his coffee cup, his toilet seat

"I'm am so the preznit, I am SO the preznit! It even sez it rightchere."

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. It's the only thing holding him up in his whisky/cocaine/braindead haze

[Blue_In_AK]

12. That's what I thought, too.

[sallyseven]

9. So if someone asks a hard question

you won't see him pee his pants. It is also uses to steady his drunkin body.

[Junkdrawer]

11. Paul Simon was a prophet

And if I was president (was the president)
The minute congress call my name (was the president)
Id say who do,
Who do you think you're fooling? (who do you think you're fooling)

Ive got the presidential seal (was the president)
Im up on the presidential podium
My mama loves me
She loves me
She get down on her knees and hug me
Like she loves me like a rock
She rocks me like the rock of ages
And loves me

[sutz12]

13. He uses it to hide the fact he's pigeon toed.

No foolin'. Look!

:shrug:

[ronnykmarshall]

18. Oh my god you're right!

[Lisa]

29. and also, something else that doesn't show up in still photos -- he fidgets

DUers who have actually been in the same room with him have noticed that he shuffles, or "paws the ground" with one of his feet like he's a horse trained to do sideshow tricks, if he has to stand in one place for longer than a couple of minutes. Perhaps the lectern, flimsy as it is when compared to his usual solid blue model, helps conceal that.

[Bucky]

14. That's a lectern, not a podium.

A podium, as the name implies, is something one stands on. Bush stands on nothing (except aircraft carriers).

I will give him this, however, he looks better than freakish Schwarzeneggar with his skull-headed plastic surgery face.

I'm glad the firemen lined up behind them didn't have anything better to do today.

[SoCalDem]

15. He needed to explain about the fires..& all the houses that burned

[symbolman]

19. You ALWAYS

Have the Best graphics on a regular basis, and have for Years... :)

[SoCalDem]

24. I have always admired YOU, my friend

I am a strictly old-school, self-taught, rank amateur.. I am in awe of your skills :)

If I were younger I would go to school and learn how to do graphics the way I wish I could :)

I never SAW a computer before 1996, and never took any classes..never even read the manuals (too confusing )..so I am happy to know what I do, but wish I knew more.. :hi:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. The dual mics are so you can hear both sides of his mouth talk n/t

[porphyrian]

17. It's there for him to put his hands on. Without it, he'll keep grabbing his crotch...

...or picking his ass.

[Rex]

20. Because everyone snickers at him in THAT way.

And he is THE PRESIDENT DAMMIT! :childish tantrum:

[L0oniX]

21. It also serves as an asscarrot that he can stick up his ass

[Catshrink]

22. I dunno, why does he need these?

[kineneb]

25. feelings of inadequacy

* tries to reassure himself that he is actually president, when he knows that Dickie is really running the show...

check the soles on the boots: brand new, no wear. what a phony.

[Kool Kitty]

26. Because Diddums wouldn't know where to stand without it.

It makes him feel important.

[Initech]

27. It makes him look official.

The kind of official like in Blazing Saddles when Mel Brooks wears his "governor" jacket.

[MiniMe]

28. Because of his BIG ego

[Lucinda]

30. Wow. Ahnold is soooooooo far back they look the same size

Freaky

[bananarepublican]

31. On some occasions it provides cover for Condi's Police Academy routine! n/t
