Does anyone else find this photo creepy?

the context is:
President George W. Bush (news - web sites) and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) listen as first lady Laura Bush introduces her husband at a campaign fundraising dinner in Los Angeles, August 12, 2004. President Bush (news - web sites) continues his campaign trip tomorrow with events planned in Oregon and Washington state. Photo by Kevin Lamarque/Reuters

By the way was Maria Shriver there too lending her support to W?

wants her badly?? Say it ain't so joe... good thing his gropenator days are over... or are they? Stay tuned.

Just kicking some thoughts around.... since shrub is such a "religious" type... question. What is happening in the U.S.?

Dozens of uncontrolled forest fires... homes burnt to the ground.

Drought in the west... bad one at that....

Rains flooding many areas of the country...

Two (2) hurricanes aimed at his brother's state.... (figuratively speaking) (sp)

Economy in the toilet

Mounting casualties (dead soldiers and civilians) in Iraq

Just who is shrub praying to... and should he perhaps.... pray just a little harder... or should he question his judgement in CHOOSING to make war on Iraq......

In Arnold's mind - him, GW, and Laura.
In dumbya's mind - him, Barney, and Laura.

What Duhbya doesn't know is that Arnie looks at him the same way when he speaks.

... that if you look at their eyes, they dont seem to be paying attention to her words. there's a predatory kind of look in their eyes, esp mr. termintator's.
that's just my perspective, of course.

Same look guys get in their eyes when they're watching a stripper (or so I've heard).

like she isn't there.

OR

"Maria will do a better job and she has much better fashion sense"

as cheerleaders for thugs like these two.

I think its the look of self-importance on the two men's faces that creeps me out. Plus, knowing what they both REALLY think women should be used for.

LOL

...egomaniac of the first order, has a far less predatory expression on his face than does B*sh.

She's got a lot going for her person. Too bad it's wasted. Too bad she ended up in this mess. Arnold looks likes he's just barely tolerating her. George...well what can you say. Phoney all the way.

I afaid the rays have already had an effect on the brain. I live in Ca. and I still am in denial that Ca. voters are shallow enough to elect someone based on star power.How about a pale Gov with a higher I.Q. ,and a smaller ego !

It's completely feigned, by the way. I remember Bush went on the Oprah Winfrey show and did something similar, bussing the talk show host on the cheek and leaning foward attentively as she spoke. But Bush's posture betrayed aggression, not comfort with the situation. This pose is much the same.

By the way, surely I can't be the only one who feels that many in the GOP want to keep their women in cages, and this was Laura's day to have the door swing open. Tell me I'm wrong.

Bush, as a psychopath of some sort, lives his life as a lie, hiding his fear/aggression behind a mask at all times. That look of condescension, is a special mask they automatically put on when dealing with women (publicly, I mean. In private, different story) I've known quite a few male psychopaths, and I've seen the mask as its being put on for show. UGH!!!!!!!

Laura must be the poster girl for untreated co-dependents. Its incredibly toxic for women who are with men like that.

oh and on edit, yes I agree with your second paragraph about what RWs want for women. If you want a real scare, google on "Dominionism" , the hard hard Christian right-wing's game plan.

Gropey: "I've got a much bigger dick then that girly-man you're married to. Later I'll place your hands around my big, bulging package."

Chimpy: "Damn, where did she tell me she hid the booze?"

They don't reflect light as most other eyes do. Yesterday during Larry King Life they moved the camera from Larry to Bush, and accidentally caught her with this "deer in the headlights" appereance. It startled me in a weird way.

...as usual.

and the photographer, as a person fluent in visual language, recognizes this.

She is decorative. This pleases them. Ooga.
