Rolling Stone's "Bush enjoys a drink or two" photo, from the current issue

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Folks, this photo needs to be CIRCULATED...especially to anyone "sitting on the fence" about whether or not to re-select President Jack Daniels.

[demnan]

1. It won't change anyone's mind

everybody knows he was a drinker back then.

[tcfrogs]

9. Agree n/t

[Ripley]

2. Seems Smirky is the life of the party...

He's the only one bent over with a bottle in his mouth and two guys behind or over him pouring it on him. Hmmmmm...odd image you think?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Well now... that explains the disjointed sentences.. the mental lapses,

the aggression, the spinning to promote your own reality and agenda, as well as the theft of the election. Now I understand perfectly what we have on our hands.

[eyesroll]

3. Is it just me, or does he look like he's quite used to...

things down his throat? :evilgrin:

[JimmyJazz]

4. Question: How many deferments can you spot in this photo?

[htuttle]

8. Eight!

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Won't persuade due to "youthful indiscretion" excuse. Otherwise,

the perpetual brain chemical imbalance argument goes further.

[Onlooker]

7. Where can I find a copy of this photo without the stuff above it?

The photo speaks for itself. Anyone know of a link?

[MsTryska]

10. why is he upside down?

and why is that guy pouring alcohol on his cheek?

freakin frat boys.

[progressivebydesign]

17. They're on a staircase.. that's why. n/t

[Mike Daniels]

11. Who cares?

He admitted to drinking in the past and this isn't all that different from a lot of fraternity party pictures. Hell, that isn't all that different from some beach house parties I've been to.

[Onlooker]

12. It's embarrassing

The Repugs released photos of Kerry in that silly light-blue science outfit to make Kerry look like less of a leader. This photo does the same to Bush, that's why it should be publicized.

[Onlooker]

13. Slightly Photoshopped version

[KansDem]

14. Yeah, he partied until he was 40, then found Christ....

...and then snorted coke at Camp David while his old man was Prez...

(in that order...)

[progressivebydesign]

18. WWJS? n/t

[displacedtexan]

15. Prep School = Under Age

There's no way that this little get together was sanctioned by Andover.

A better caption would be:

Here's your Republican Parents' role model!

Show them this picture if they ever catch you drinking!

[skygazer]

16. Posed photo, empty bottles

Long time ago. Sorry but I don't think it would make points with anyone except those of us who already know he's an embarassment.

[progressivebydesign]

19. Of course it's posed with empty bottles...

.. Man.. you are NOT thinking like a republican! Doesn't matter if it was orange juice in the bottles, and the nice boys were cleaning up after throwing a brunch for elderly widows. It's the EFFECT of the photo that is important. Remember substance means nothing, it's the submliminal negative impression we're after. Gotta think like ROVE!!! (then shower afterwards).

[skygazer]

22. I can't think like a Republican!

Ewwwww..... :puke:

I showered and showered and showered and I still can't get the stink off!

[Leilani]

20. This photo will do nothing to change minds

People know his past...look at how old the photo is.

Some people may find it funny...Boys will be boys!...

[Toucano]

24. If they don't mind the torture and the bombing

of people who never attacked us, they're not going to be swayed by the underage consumption of alcohol.

You're right. This is just an entertaining stroll through a more "innocent age". LOL! ;)

[Leilani]

25. Kerry needs to emphasize the war

& the horrors of it

& the injustice of attacking a country that had ZILCH to with 9/11

people are unhappy with this war...most know they have been lied to

some don t want to admit it.

[cidliz2004]

21. Another 30+ year issue isn't going to make much of an impact

to anybody with commonsense.

[Stephanie]

23. It helps dispel the myth that Bush is a Texas cowboy

He's just an elitist prep school frat rat.

[cidliz2004]

31. It really doesn't help anything, people don't think that much

Anything that GW did in his youth, is basically saying that we don't have enough on him NOW. I don't think of that as an issue.

[Bleacher Creature]

26. Enough with this crap!

George Bush has one of the most harmful, despicable and inept records of any world leader in history. His policies ranging from Iraq to the environment have been an unmitigated disaster.

The fact that he was a drunk, AWOL, etc. only reinforces my hatred of the man, but it pales in contrast to what kind of world he has created. THAT is what we need to focus on for the last 5 weeks.

[VOX]

27. If the RW can spin Abu Gharaib as "college pranks"...

I'm afraid that actual prep-school hijinx will be blown away like so much dust.

Great photo, though! :toast:

[MoonRiver]

28. Puts me in mind of a recent Jenna & tonic photo-op!

}(

[Placebo]

29. HaHaHaHa!

Not that it will make a difference in people's minds, but it's still f'n hillarious.

[ContinentalOp]

30. Unfortunately this might work in his favor.

Being printed in Rolling Stone might have actually helped Bush's image among young frat-house party kid types.
