Turns Out The Picture Is Real
..although the context was more puckish than pernicious. I thought the guy actually went off the deep end and was flipping off a reporter.
Nope. He was exercising characteristic poor judgment while the cameras were rolling.

Okay, Smartass...
...how about having sex with underaged children? George HW Bush.
...how about participating in the attempted assassination President Reagan? George HW Bush.
...how about allowing male prostitutes to tour the Whitehouse after hours? George HW Bush.
...how about selling weapons and drugs to American citizens? Bush Family.
...how about committing large-scale treason against the US? Bush Family.
...how about drugging, raping, and then having a black woman murdered when she threatened to sue you for your offense against her person? George W. Bush.
Because Clinton didn't have a stranglehold on the media the way the Bushies have doesn't make him a bigger criminal than any of the other white collar criminals we've had in the West Wing since 1980. It just means that we are going to hear the truth about POWER in the US more when a media lightweight hits inside the Beltway than when someone with their finger on the trigger of assassination teams and death squads occupies the same space.
The same level of media slanting occurred during Jimmy Carter's administration. And we all know, now, that Bush had his hand in keeping the hostages in Iran for the election so that Reagan could be elected and claim credit for the hostage release, instead of Carter.

I would offer:
Giving our nuclear secrets to the communist Chinese
Treating the World Trade Center bombing as a law-enforcement issue
Failing to bring in Bin Laden when he was offered to us
Bombing Kosovo rather than making the pansy-ass Europeans clean up their own yard
Failing to respond to the U.S.S. Cole bombing
Bombing an aspirin factory on the day of your hearing
Retreating from Mogadishu so easily that Bin Laden called the U.S. a "paper tiger"
etc.....Before I would mention a "blow-job" among Clinton's missteps.
Though I think I would even phrase that differently. How's about:
Being so depraved as to let your only daughter along with every person she knows find out that you cheated on her mother with someone not much older than you on national television.

To Suggest...
...that a blow job in the Oval office is worse than...
lying about WMDs
lying about a 9/11 - Iraq connection
failing to find bin Laden when he was cornered
illegally invading Iraq
happily sending nearly 2,000 US military to their deaths for an Islamic theocracy
refusing to attend any military funerals
draft dodging
mangling the English language
election rigging (remember Florida?)
declaring a war is over when it clearly isn't
tearing up any last shred of decent environmental legislation
the Patriot Act
..is just ludicrous.
And to discuss whether or not the picture is a fake is to entirely miss the point of this excellent post.

Get a life. If you want to compare White House anticts, I do believe the Clinton administration would top anything the current administration is accused of. The photograph, any photograph, can be digitized and altered. And, exactly when did the president call Sheean a trator?

I Can't Say...
..if the photo is a fake. It's possible that it is.
However, I've heard from TOO MANY credible sources that Bush has blown a head gasket on more than one occasion over issues that a Commander In Chief should never lose his composure over.
Even the guy's own father knows he's under qualified for the job and said so in 1999 on live TV.

For those of you who don't believe the picture is true.....
What is your problem? Why can't you see the truth even when it stares you in the friggin face! Did you not see the news conference a few weeks ago (before his vacation) where he flipped off the press as he walked away... as they tried to askquestions about the Plame affair? It was on several major news shows (not all left wing either). I guess they were all doctoring the video as well?
Open your eyes you gullible sheep... the evidence is looking you right in the face!!!!!!!

Again, I say that picture is a fake.
Look at the finger. It is way too long in proportion to his hand. This is the work of an amateur who is trying to pass off phony evidence.

the more i read about dubya's hitlerian rantings at the whitehouse staff the more worried i become at his mental state.
i think he knows he's in the shit and that it's only a matter of time before it catches up to him.
