Washington Post */Pope photo - unbelieveable

[DancingBear]

Help - can anyone post this photo for all to see? It is on the front page of todays Post - I'm sure it is in other papers also, and maybe the Post web site.

Pickles is talking to the Pope, and the Moron-In-Chief is standing nearby with a look on his face that, well, you HAVE to see.

(My scanner will not work with this Mac until I do a ltlle software work, or I'd post it myself. Sorry!)

[trof]

1. link?

[NMDemDist2]

2. can't you grab it from their website? the scanner won't do you

any good here with out a place to post the pic on the web to link to.

I can't get chit from the WP they hate my cookies

[DancingBear]

24. Nope - couldn't get to the website before I posted

Very bad weather here in VA today, and I'm on dial-up. I live waaaaayyy out in the country - sometimes the phone folks have to come out and re-bury the phone lines from the pedestals deeper because the cows dig them up!

(honest)

I'm afraid if I leave DU I won't be able to get back on.

[Tripper11]

3. I just checked...looks like it's been moved

What was it?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

4. This?

[Tripper11]

6. Wow, doesn't * look so interested??

Holy fuck this guy never, EVER looks interested in ANYTHING!!!

[OneTwentyoNine]

13. Looks like he's been waiting in line too long--like at Disney Land..

He's got that perturbed "45 minutes to the ride from this point" look on his face.

40. Bush and that blue tie again...

Son-of-a-bitch I hate it when he wears those light-blue ties.

[Jane Austin]

44. He's just checking his cue cards one last time

before he speaks to the Pope.

[peekaloo]

5. full frontal DUH

[warrior1]

9. or this

chair to big for this little little man.

[peekaloo]

12. I actually thought he was going to start swinging his legs

when I saw the news clip on this......talking 'bout freedom and HAH 'dignity". He was trying so hard NOT to smirk.

[hlthe2b]

49. swinging legs and pounding the armrests!

He really looks like he will start any moment now... God, what a dunce. Say what you will about Pickles, but at least she looks dignified..... Only goes to sharpen the contrast!

[Lou_C]

30. Why is pickles wearing black?

Did someone Die?

[PaDUer]

43. * and pickles

are the adams family..Where ever they go, they're an embarrassment to the USA..they have no class and are only traveling around the world on vacations at OUR expense and probably have been told to ENJOY, compliments of the people!

[MGKrebs]

51. An above-the-knee skirt to see the Pope?

That doesn't seem like proper protocol.

[yardwork]

52. Note Pickles's bright red fingernails.

You can see them in some other shots. Real class, lady. Arrive in Italy and get your nails painted blood red to visit the Pope. The woman has zero class. Zero.

[gauguin57]

61. red nails, red nose

In my newspaper, Bush's nose looks so red ... it looks like W.C. Fields's nose after a five-day bender!

Laura Bush in a black mantilla. Jeepers. My mother looked better with a Kleenex on her head after she'd forgotten her hat at Mass pre-Vatican 2!!!!!!!!!

[juajen]

59. For pity's sakes, give it a rest.

Pickles looks great and was very dignified. Also, her skirt had to be below her knees before she sat down. Women know how much a skirt rises when you sit. She looked good and denigrating her is senseless. Give her some respect, however small, for putting up with that rotten husband all her life. Additionally, women are even wearing black at weddings these days. It's very flattering on most women. However, assuming they might get back for the funeral, what will she wear now?

Edited to reflect weird cyber glitch, which led me to believe that the first attempt to post didn't work.

He looks bored

[OneTwentyoNine]

11. Pickles wearing her "little red riding hood" outfit??

Except in black. What the hell is that rig?!?!?

[Gildor Inglorion]

14. Maybe it's the Roman Catholic version of a "chador" -

women have to cover up their hair in the presence of the Pope so he won't be overcome with unseemly lust. Makes as much sense as most of the rest of their wretched dogma.

[AntiCoup2K4]

46. In the condition JP's in......

...I don't think even a double dose of Viagra could overcome him with unseemly lust. And even then, I would hope that wouldn't be his reaction to Pickles. :puke:

[Charley_Dog]

22. "He looks bored..."

He looks constipated.

[linazelle]

32. He looks stupid eom

[Tripper11]

10. I saw * and Hit & Run Laura walk in with the Pope....

on tv and he looked nervous, kind of like he was half expecting a bolt of lightening to strike down at any time.

[No2W2004]

15. heres what they are thinking

[Bozita]

19. Love it! ... Thanks.

[soup]

21. Ha! That one's a keeper. n/t

[Jawja]

25. ROFLMAO!!!

Morning coffee just went all over the keyboard....

Thanks! That is great.

:bounce:

[never_get_over_it]

42. This is priceless

THANKS!!!!!

18. How to post photos

right click on pic--click properties--highlight url-- right click -- click copy-- paste wherever

[DancingBear]

34. Some of use Macs

:)

[indigobusiness]

35. Sorry...I should've qualified it.

You can't cut and paste with Macs?

[DancingBear]

39. Yes, you just do it differently - I think

I should know, actually - a long long time ago I used to work in RFID/IT. I gave it up to build furniture for a living, and I've completely (deliberately) forgotten all or most of what I used to know. I bought a Mac to further distance myself from all the Windows shit I used to have to do. Or undo.

I guess I'll have to (under duress) come out of my self- imposed Paleozoic Era for a while and try and remember stuff... :)

[City Lights]

37. Control + Click on Macs.

Pull down to "Open Link in New Window." Once the new window is opened, copy the address and paste it into your post. :-)

[DancingBear]

41. Ahhh, this is why I love this place

Thanks! :)

[Jane Austin]

47. You can also just click and hold on the picture,

and that gives you several options, including the "open link in new window".

It's the way you save pictures you like, too.

[alfredo]

60. Mac man, to copy with one button mouse

Highlight text, then hit Apple-c. The click on where you want to paste, then hit Apple-v


If you have two browser windows open, or a text window, you can highlight the URL then drag and drop it. You can do that with images.

You can get multiple button mice cheap now. Logitech makes good cheap mice.

20. Same Photo on Boston Globe Front Page (Huge Size) Any Other Papers?

Isn't it interesting that this obviously unflattering picture is the one papers are running with.

The Globe photo is huge.

Also notice that Andy Card and everyone sitting down is paying attention to the Pope. Everyone but Bush.

[LittleApple81]

36. You must watch the clip on MSNBC with the Pope and *. They could not find

a better picture. His facial expression was like that all during the visit! Here
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5135067 /

[LittleApple81]

45. This is the one that appears right above the button to watch the video

clip in MSNBC:


and this is where you can watch the video (button found 3/4 of the page down) Then you realize that there IS NO GOOD PICTURE OF THIS VISIT!!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5135067

[diamond14]

54. OMG...bush* showed so much DISRESPECT for the Pope....

such sickening stuff...bush* will NEVER get any Catholic votes after this display....

[AspenRose]

58. Agreed

Very disrespectful and arrogant....haughty, even.

What's he thinking, anyway?

"What language do they speak in Italy again? Oh wait, the Pope's Polish...oh I'm so confused! This is boring anyhow." *pout*

[Cocoa]

48. Chicago Tribune, with a great headline

"Pope lectures Bush on Iraq."

[FizzFuzz]

23. hummph,

AGAIN you can see the pathological mind at work...he is bored and irritated because HE'S NOT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION!!

sorry to scream
no I'm not sorry, the dipshit makes me scream
AAAUUUGGGHHHHH

[indigobusiness]

26. "It was George that farted, I swear to God."

[indigobusiness]

27. dupe...but you knew that

[Eye4anEye]

28. He looked more interested

when he visited that Catholic-bashing Bob Jones University in 2000. Now he's "courting Roman Catholic voters aggressively" this time around. Looks like a half-assed attempt to me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. Did anyone see the idiot-in-chief screw up when

the Italian dignitary tried to give him a European greeting? Where they embrace each other..first to the right and then to the left. The F******* IDIOT went to his left, first and hit the face!! of the guy who was trying to go to the idiot's left (his right). My g-d, how embarrassing that fool is. He is SOOOOO out of his class it isn't even funny. When I saw that...well, let's just say...I wanted to crawl under my couch until he's out of office. He's just too much to take. :(

[yardwork]

53. It's sad to compare the Chimp's performance with any other president's

Reagan looked good when he made foreign visits. Clinton was perfect - natural, strong, statesmanlike.

Even Poppy Bush usually got it right except when he got it spectacularly wrong (hey, anyone could throw up on the Japanese Prime Minister).

The Chimp can't ever, ever get it right. Despite constant training and practice, this Chimp just can't learn. Apparently he doesn't care enough to even try.

Or maybe acting like a buffoon all over the world is a secret code to his freeper-base. He's saying that the rest of the world is so beneath contempt, the 'Murican president doesn't need to learn protocol?

[robbedvoter]

31. Considering that the photo op was the main purpose of this visit

I'd say this presidentin' business is too hard for W. What was he saying about "body language"? The 911 Commission had to talk to him and Dick to read it?

[randr]

33. He may be trying out for another religious flip/flop

We may see him convert to Catholicism for the votes. So far his choice of religious affiliation is based wholly on convenience and not conviction.

[AP]

38. His shoulders are smaller when he isn't wearing kevlar. But his waist ...

...looks kind of thick.

[diamond14]

50. with the Pope...shrub in his Alfred E. Neuman pose...PHOTO

lit up on drugs for sure...

[salin]

55. Like a five year old... always mugging for the camera

when will the adults be put back in charge?

[jono]

56. George W Bush: "What, me worry?"

That should be a bumper sticker.

[donhakman]

57. behind closed doors
