Stolen from Padre Mickey. I don't know who did the shop job, but, if I find out, I will give credit.
As I said at Padre Mickey's:
"Mission Accomplished" was surely one of Bush's most embarrassing moments. As others, especially the press, fawned over Bush in his flight suit, I laughed. It was one of the most ridiculous performances I had ever seen. (Lightly edited)
I was wrong to laugh. It wasn't and isn't funny to the service members and civilians who have been killed or maimed since Bush's day of "triumph", nor is it funny to their loved ones. The wars go on, so the picture isn't true today, either. Still, I see a certain justice in the photoshop.
UPDATE: Image from BartCop.
I am proud owner of a George Bush "Elite Force" figure, representing our ex-president, with many action accessories, in the flight suit he wore that day, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteLapin, you're a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! The figure is valuable today. I was going to ask if you have a grand time playing with the action figure and the action accessories, but, knowing you, the figure is in the box in pristine condition.
I have not tampered with the president's package in any way, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I stole it for Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a package it is!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of Bush's juvenility in pulling the stunt....
A neighbor and I fell out partly over Mission Accomplished. She is a Republican and conservative, but we once were able to have civil conversations despite our differences. When I criticized Bush for his stunt and said I thought there were no WMD in Iraq, she rebuked me sharply. We continued to meet for a while, but I felt that so many subjects were off limits that our contacts dwindled to nearly none - by mutual consent, I believe.
Counterlight, steal it. I did.
I have not tampered with the president's package in any way, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteLordy, would you want to?! ... :(
Cathy, I guess the facts speak for themselves.
