I'm surprised he even knows what end to put to his eyes.

Reminds me of the "Whats this for" shocker his dad had when confronted with a grocery store scanner.:eek:

There was a Clinton pic just like that, a couple of years ago.

Someone told me that those weren't actually covers, and that you can still use the binoculars with them on.

Anybody here have any experience with that specific model?

And of course none of us here have ever accidentally taken a picture with the lens cap still on the camera...

This kind of stuff was damn stupid when certain conservatives did it to Clinton, and it's still damn stupid when liberals do it to Bush. For pete's sake, find a criticism that's actually valid.

That said, the pics are still kind of funny in an "everyone's human" sort of way.

<shrug> It's a staged photo-op shot. The reason why the lens covers are on in the photo is so that sun glare doesn't ruin the picture. After the pictures are taken the lens caps get taken off and the VIP gets down to business. Every single president in the last 50 years probably has gotten the same photo taken, the lens caps are always on for the photo, and there's invariably jokes made about "look at the dumbass who can't figure out to take the lenscaps off!" </shrug>

I remember that Clinton one.. Whoever did it was blasting Clinton for just the same thing, showing side-by-side with a pic of GWB holding the binocs with the covers off.

Read this book. It's well written and is confined to his policies. It does not get personal.

Reviewer: A reader from USA
Definitely worth reading. The scourge of the right wing has delivered to them yet another painful reminder of why it's not a good idea to talk your Supreme Court appointees into returning the favor by stuffing a man into the White House who received 500,000+ less votes than his opponent and proudly sports the IQ of a lizard. Unfortunately, most of the words and grammar in this book are well above his comprehension level, so the White House staff is awaiting the 8th grade reading level translation before stuffing it through the Oval Office's mail slot.
LOL!!

Reviewer: Jim W. O'Brien from Mississauga, Ontario Canada
Mr Begala's waste of paper is a thesis about the complete corruption of the American Left. Called upon by his superiors to produce a rant against a popular President, Mr Begala responded like one of Pavlov's dogs. Panting ever so completely at the feet of Ms.Streisand and Mr. Baldwin, Mr Begala will receive his reward... at least for now. In time, his masters will stop their experiment and have him put down. Unfortunately, Mr. Begala was raised in an environment of Democratic Party corruption and oppression... he knows no better. It is a quick read, simple and unsatifying...but a good read by current Democratic Party standards and perfectly timed for the midterm election. What has happened to the Party of Hubert Humphrey?
More LOL!!! These two reviews sound like there were gleened straight off of Hannity and Colmes:)

The funny thing about this quote is that the standard writing level for published work is 8th grade level. :)

I've seen the criticisms of Republican economic policies and while I disagree with them (especially the idea that you need to make $250,000+ per year to want the Republican policies, I make about $7 per hour and I still want the Republican policies), I respect the people who attack the issues and offer their own practicable solutions far more than the people who stand back and just take pot-shots at "the system".

Even your (Bush) most loyal defenders say you're a few beans shy of a full burrito intellectually. And your whole career has been a case study in the art of failing upward. You were a poor student who somehow got into the finest schools. You were a National Guardsman who somehow disappeared from duty for a year. You were a failed businessman who somehow got rich. You were a minority investor who somehow was made managing partner of the Texas Rangers baseball team. And you were a defeated politician who somehow was made governor.

Let's face it, Dub: you were born on third base, and you think you hit a triple. You're lighter than my grandma's biscuits
Hmmm.. sounds like a Die Hard Democrat wrote this..wait a second..it was!

Ughh.. OK I'll explain it to you. You see Old Dub is perceived to be a dumb Ass (though he's not) That pic with him using the Binoculars seems to confirm it al though we know there is a perfect explanation for it. It's just a joke Pic . I've seen GW make light of his own intelligence before and would probably have a good laugh at this pic.

I think what is funnier is that it gets under the skin of some of the Republican Red Asses around here:) If they had half the sense of humor that Dub has they wouldn't be thought of as such humorless wankers
