At least Bush would have never staged a photo op with the troops

[usregimechange]

...not with a fake turkey or anything.

1. I see the real turkey in that photo...

And it's not the bird on the platter.

2. Mission Accomplished!

:patriot:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. Photo Op or Photo Shop?

[Neecy]

4. Ugh

I HATED his little soldier dress-up costumes.

[emulatorloo]

5. That Plastic Turkey looks so realistic! Bush looks like a wax dummy though

Or maybe just a dummy.

[Journeyman]

6. Or worse, used an ad with fake troops. . .

. . . or at least he wouldn't have, if he'd known he'd get caught.

7. That fucker and his smirk....

Grrr...

[gratuitous]

8. Don't forget the Mission Impossible stunt

I knew when it happened (after they held up the ship's crew from making their port of call for an extra day, and turning the ship so that people couldn't see just how close they were to San Diego) that the story would morph into how "former fighter pilot" Chimpy McBunnypants had skillfully landed his jet on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, and sure enough that's how it has played out in the years since.

Chimpy didn't like being photographed with the inevitable fruits of his bad decisions. Corpses can't be commanded to smile and applaud enthusiastically.

9. the turkey was not plastic

it was a real turkey that wasn't cooked but browned with a kitchen torch
such as you use for creme brulee.

12. Point is, it was all done for show.

The turkey (the one on the platter) was inedible. It may as well have been plastic, cement or yellow cake.

10. Turkey Accomplished!

11. This takes me back. I was the one who said

he would not be able to lift the tray so easily if it were a real turkey. Does anyone have a guess as to how heavy the tray would be with the turkey and all the fruit?

13. I always likes the sweaty cake photo op, myself

Nothing says "yum-O" like a red-faced , sweaty guy with a cake:)
