The thing about POTUS is he doesn't need to be.
The comm suite on Air Force One put him in touch like he was in the Sit Room.

Being held hostage in DC by a crises is a Rabbit Bait move.

Might require two pats and a pinch, just to get the firmness factor down.

Reporters are such dweebs. The lede is that Bush was jumping on Putin's ass about Georgia but the next paragraph is about how Rudd isn't much of a sports fan.

I have to say, I was watching Phelps' first gold medal ceremony this evening, and the National Anthem always chokes me up. I'm appalled that we're giving a totalitarian state like China the limelight, but it's awesome to win, as always.

I considered a journo major for two whole weeks. I took the intro course 101 in 1977. The perfesser, a 30 something blonde associate spent that two weeks gushing about Marshall Mcluhan (sp?) and his new gig about "The media is the message" I just didn't get it. What does this mean? I thought, So I walked down after class and asked her. If the Media is the message, I said, then what does "Television" mean? She gulped and gasped, and couldn't answer the question. Thought I was impertinent for asking to boot.

I dropped the course.

I saw it fly over my head quite nearby. Either the real oneor the decoy . Either way, we have a base nearby and he was in our neighborhood. to speak somewhere.

It is awesome and beautiful. Not red white and blue, just some blue and a very pale bluish white or whitish blue and big.

I am always happy when I am driving near the base and a big c-5 comes in over the road right overhead. Thrilling.

Its just nice to know that George W Bush knows how to 'volley' when necessary.

The Pres. is posing for a pic taken from the front perspective, and naturally a weasel Democrat "journalist" sneaks behind for the ass shot, trying to make W look bad. In other words, typical behavior from a "journalist".

Mandy, it is reported in the British media that he actually gave one of the girls a slap on the butt.

No doubt the Obama campaign is trying to wordsmith a way of exploiting this.

I can hear The One now:

I was just going to say it probably happened while he was doing real sports, unlike Obama's flat-tire-faked-bicycle-photo-op-ride.

I wonder if he has to wear some sort of body armor (and as I have no need to know, it will have to go unanswered). If so, doing sports in that must be BRUTAL.

They didnt like the fact I voted for Ronald Reagan. I changed my major after that first semester.

When I first stepped into grad school at the Mizzou J School, the prof asked me my undergrad major. I told her, and she said "Oh, that's the Dead White European Male major."

I was pretty sure then that I was in the wrong spot, but I gave journalism a year. When I learned very little about the craft of research and writing, and more than I cared to know about dependency theory, I dropped out with an A average.

Judging from the picture, it was with the girl's full consent, and her partner was there and watching his every move. Since they were far closer than his Secret Service escort, they could have decked him big time if he'd done something Bubba would do.

re: #110 cutestguy

I got pushed into the journalism idea from a high school English teacher. He told me I was one of the best writers he ever saw. Fat lot of good that did me over the years

I went through many different "what do you want to be when you grow up?" phases, and when I saw the movie of "The Killing Fields," I wanted to be an investigative journalist. I didn't, of course, realize at the time that Schanberg wasn't so great and that Dith Pran was the real hero. It just seemed that being on the ground, covering the facts, would be an awesome job.

And it would, if that's what the media did anymore. :)

I love my current job, and I'm glad I had that year of graduate school to see how the sausage is made. It helped me understand the media better than I could have otherwise.

I want Gaddafi's bodyguards ! Lean mean .. and all female ...

via PowerlineBlog: From the McCain Campaign, regarding Barack Obama's inability to get on the right side of any conflict anywhere, as evidenced most recently in the USSR/Czechoslovakia oops, I mean Russia/Georgia debacle:

...Georgia is in crisis, yet the Obama campaign has offered nothing more than cheap and petty political attacks that are echoed only by the Kremlin. The reaction of the Obama campaign to this crisis, so at odds with our democratic allies and yet so bizarrely in sync with Moscow, doesn't merely raise questions about Senator Obama's judgment--it answers them.[Emphasis MajorP]

This is a fantastic quote, and is exactly the sort of thing which McCain's campaign needs to keep saying. Not only is it the right tone, it is the right topic.
p.s. I'm a little uncomfortable about my nic now, as the KGB is was is, of course, one of the most evil institutions the world has known. If you would like to read some amateur, heavy-handed propoganda, check out the article linked above at PowerlineBlog where they have excerpted some Pravda (yes, Pravda!) articles. Perfect pitch for a brutal dictatorship making a ham-fisted point to an uneducated proletariat.

re: #110 cutestguy

reporters used to be route-runners and copy-boys who moved up. They had wit, street smarts and common sense to guide them. Once the corporate mindset took over the papers they needed a way to judge the credentials of new applicants. Thus was born the journalism schools. reporters gave way to 'journalists' who have no original thoughts, have no common sense and run with a herd mentality they learned in school. all they know how to do now is dig through the garbage of people who actually do something with their lives.

In addition to the terrible pollution of Beijng itself, it's subject to temperature inversions because of the mountains surrounding, and it's also prone to pollution blowing in from the west, not to mention sandstorms from the encroaching Gobi Desert.

No, as much as I admire human female anatomy (especially the back end of it), I happen to feel it's entirely pedestrian and boorish to design a uniform that does nothing less than allow most of the ass to hang out.

It's silly. It's cheap. It cheapens the sport and the flag they play under.

Man, I love our President. He kicks terrorist ass, and he is too much a gentleman to pat ass he knows would get him into hot water.

Fair enough to say but as I said it's about completion. If it's their edge, OK. I do somewhat agree but what would they wear?
A Chris Everett Wimbledon type outfit

An enjoyable thought, the female anatomy, indeed.

Careful with that axe, Eugene!

But, but, but...Mr. President...

Great shot, no buts about it.

Cheapens the Olympic "sport" of beach volleyball? The horror, the horror. :)

I just get a chuckle thinking of the jihadis in the Middle East watching beach volleyball on their satellite tvs.

re: #19 cutestguy

I'm sure Bush brought it back to it's former glory.

Did the Clintons gut the thing?

Yeah 100,000 bucks in Air Force One M&M's where part of the loot...:)

You ever played it?

Hey, what's with Mandy?  I was coming in out of the underground parking garage and she was walking out and she just pushed me over and kept walking.

A definite upgrade from Monica, I think.

"She" looks like she plays for the East German women's volleyball team if you get my meaning.
I think a background check is in order Mr. President.
No, not that kind of background check! Sheesh

Check out the bandanna. I think he is mentally half way to Crawford already.

I think after seeing clips from the Oliver Stone movie, Bush is getting nostalgic for the old days.

What's pissing off the press to no end is that the athletes really like President Bush, they recognize him as one of them.

...Georgia is in crisis, yet the Obama campaign has offered nothing more than cheap and petty political attacks that are echoed only by the Kremlin. The reaction of the Obama campaign to this crisis, so at odds with our democratic allies and yet so bizarrely in sync with Moscow, doesn't merely raise questions about Senator Obama's judgment--it answers them.[Emphasis MajorP]

wow.

The left's non-stop self-indulgent Bush-hate is beyond tired. In fact it's in backfire stage. The left always end up eating shit.

The President is an old jock. In his day, ass-slapping was the old high-fiving!

Bush patted her on the back, not on the butt.

Classy guy, President Bush. Doesn't lash out at the MSM when they constantly barrage him with attacks. Doesn't take the opportunity to grope a woman (unlike a certain former president would have). Stands up for his convictions. Now, if we could just get him to finish closing the border and stop trying to buyout the mortgages of shortsighted people who had no business buying a house, he could go out with a huge bang.

I think Bush is a classy guy. Not to be a prude or anything, but what is UP with the beach volley ball uniform bottom?

Apparently it's helpful against wind resistance to have the sides of the your suit bottoms be transparent. And wedgies are good for energy boost.

Good thing he didn't touch else the left would cry philandering president just like good 'ole President Bill.

That's a nice red visor that swimmer person was wearing.

re: #37 MandyManners

tantrum. every 6-yr old has them. ditto the injudicious use of the f-word.

It looks to me like the photographer deliberately timed the shot to catch that hand in juuust the right (ie wrong) position.

Then again if it was Bill Clinton, he'd be using both hands to grab her by the ears...

I've got lots of disagreements with Bush on policy, but I have to say that as "just a guy", he seems to enjoy himself.

I mean, consider his "road rash" - got doing what? RIDING THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAIN BIKE COURSE! Not something you'd ever see Bubba doing, as was previously mentioned.

You remember that Secret Service guy who was assigned to Regan post-presidency, because he knew horses? He wrote a book about it an all? I figure there's some similar guy in the current Service who was chosen to be Bush's "Mountain Bike Guy" because he did mountain biking as a hobby. So, Bush goes to China, does his expected/required speech thing (after lots of heated arguments with speech writers, no doubt), and then...

...well, do we have any evidence that GW has ever been to the Olympics before? Ever? If I were President, and went to the Olympics, I'd do the same as he apparently did:

GW: "Done with that damn speech and press conference. As far as I'm concerned, "work" is over for the day. Hey! I see here that Mountain Biking is an Olympic event! Think I could check out the course?"

FLUNKY: "Of course, sir - you are the President. For at least the next 48 hours, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Let me make a call and make arrangements..."

SECRET SERVICE MOUNTAIN BIKE GUY: *sigh* Oh, crap. Here we go again...

Bush and Mountain Bike Guy barrel down the course (after Bush promises to "go slow" to the rest of the nervous Secret Service team), and he wipes out half way down. Mountain Bike Guy leaps off his bike, and rushes to Bush's side.

"Are you alright, Sir?"

Bush gets up and dusts himself off. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Let's really crank it the rest of the way!"

Mountain Bike Guy goes back to his bike and says, "Sir, I think you should be more careful..."

Bush looks over his shoulder, grins, and says, "Pussy."

Reaching the bottom without further incident, Bush wipes the sweat of his brow and says to Mountain Bike Guy "That was fun! What say we check out the Womens Volleyball section next?"

Mountain Bike Guy grins in relief that Bush doesn't want to do the run again, shakes his head and says, "Yes, sir, whatever you like."

I mean, that's what I'D do if I were President and had a free trip to the Summer Olympics...
