while lying thru his teeth and playing the lapdog for bush...

Now toss our good little boy a Boosh Bone.

just gave me my first laugh of the day...thanks

:spray:
:rofl:
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

who cares?

(/sarcasm)

:silly:

A little comic relief can be a good thing

Welcome to DU!

:toast:

And it's all fair game.

Is there somewhere that has this astromonically high figure

god knows he could use some help.

I'm not surprised.

Ah, Tony, you're looking very fresh-faced today. Must have read that new article on proper foundation application in Cosmo.

Studio leaders!

That isn't even counting the Rubber Turkeys and other "Studio pResident" type props. Stagecraft has replaced statesmanship and b@lls. Cheerleaders and pimps for big bidness, but not real leaders of nations. Simply, studio bullsh*tters.

Tammy Fay taught them every damned thing she knew, and they're still eat up with the creeping dumb ass. Studio Minister Tammy got busted for practicing richcraft, like the richcraft that Shrub and the Poodle are also involved in, 24/7. Maybe our Peerless Leaders need to power-spank each other, after they get home from Fundieschool, like Tammy and Jim no doubt used to, in that "Upper Room"!

How many poor homeless souls, could Brother Bush and Brother Tony feed, with just their make up money alone? I'm sure either Tammy Faye's and Miz. Harris's make up money would feed a multitude. Make up overkill, runs deep in the souls, hearts and minds, of Holy Ghost GOPers and other assorted neoshysters and studio folk. The preachers and pResidents live the high life on our tax money and they laugh all the way to the bank!

:shrug:

in my whole life and I'm a girl. I guess the fact that I quit wearing makeup in HS, helps keep down expenses.

;)

Democratic politics does seem to be getting ever more superficial. Sad I know but that's the way the worlds going. The candidate with the nicest image wins, and that kind of "style over substance" politics has many problems of its own.

...so bill it to the WOT?

I couldn't spend like that for make-up on a dare. (and CERTAINLY not with someone else's money!)

I needed that this morning

:silly:

shock collar?

just trying to cover up this bruises?

But this seems modest compared with Irish premier Bertie Ahern, who is reported to have spent more than £115,000 on his appearance since 1997.

The Independent reported in June that Mr Ahern had spent 28,000 euros (£19,000) on make-up in the past year, and said his office had confirmed that since 1997 Mr Ahern's appearance had cost taxpayers 167,000 euros (£115,895).

liposuction, etc sincce sliming his way into office?????

...he is a little older than Blair. After all he has to cover up those wrinkly bits..

Be nice.
not.

but nothing came out in the liberal press about how much make-up Ah-no uses. Nothing about the costs of his beauficians!

Divide it by the number of times he has been in office and you have to assume that he's not using the make-up artist that often.

There are far more important things Blair is spending much more of the taxpayers' money on. Gee, I don't know. Maybe an illegal war of aggression in Iraq?

I can't stand the way that sissy talks. Apologies to all sissies and Sheilas out there.

he looks like Alfred E Neuman?

EXCUUUUUUUUUZE ME. TONY BLAIR LOOKS LIKE AN OLD PRESSED TO THE CORE OLD SHIRT.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Thanks for the laugh!!!

According to the piece, Tony Blair spent 1050 pounds on products over six years and 791 pounds on artists' fees over the last two years.

That comes to 175 pounds per year for cosmetics and about 395 pounds per year for artists. To me this doesn't sound unreasonable: he wears makeup every day, probably touches it up every time he goes before the camera (lies make you sweat, and sweat is not good for cosmetics), washes his face and puts on fresh after lunch (and probably after he gets home on evenings he goes out with his wife) and uses the most expensive brands. Plus, they talk about his using more since the Iraq War started. Three hundred and fifty bucks a year, on average, for someone who's in the spotlight as much as he is? I can accept that.

Okay, now let's talk un-fucking-reasonable: Irish premier Bertie Ahern, who last year (according to the same article) spent 19,000 pounds on makeup. That's got to be embezzlement: Tammy Faye Messner and Jan Crouch COMBINED don't spend forty thousand dollars a year on makeup.

........Tooo sexxxxy"""

NOT!!!

No one.

Eff what ya heard.

John Kennedy and Richard Nixon made that abundantly clear back in the late 50's.

If Blair appeared on TV looking washed out and tired, people would not listen to what he was saying--they'd be stuck on how he looks.

If this were still a radio society, then makeup wouldn't be an issue. It's not.

To shift those pesky bloodstains....

The blood of how many lives or on his hands?

Tony "bloody" Bliar. He looks like he's got an ego the size of Bush's.

every single US national politician does it and spends WAY WAY MORE..
