I'll give one thing to *, he's mastered the "photo op"

I think that will be his lasting legacy...

What are the chances this computer has ever been turned on? Or even plugged in? How about the phone, doesn't a light usually turn on when a line is busy?

1. You're a bad girl

Bad, bad, bad, noticing all those things that are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Me, I'm wondering who buttoned his shirt for him. And, you wanna bet those jeans have a Velcro closure in the back?

Flies - complicated things.

8. I think it's the mandatory

Fuckface In The Crowd Being Adored And Kissed By An Elderly Lady Who Thinks She's At A Big Walmart Sale.

I could be wrong, though.

Nice, warm touch, isn't it? Lesser men have pictures of their wives and kids. Fuckface has a campaign photo op.

Figures.

It's a photo-op in a photo-op of a photo-op. :)

18. The mouse is not wrong. I've got the same one (ugh!)

Edited on Mon Nov-28-05 02:11 PM by samdogmom

It's a logitech mx laser cordless mouse. On edit: I hate to admit it--I'd like him to look like a doofus, but you can drive it in the direction it's pointing to go across a page on the monitor.

21. I've got a wireless mouse like that, and I don't point it that way.

Mine is a MS product, purchased with the wireless keyboard. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it works fine pointed straighter ahead! This thing looked to me like it was pointed at a 90 degree angle from the screen, which doesn't make any sense to me.

23. Obviously, a normal computer user would not point it away from the

computer. But, I'm just saying mine works when it's pointed that way. Believe me, I'd prefer another truth. But, you can't immediately discount the mouse direction. Unfortunately, this mouse is so good that it works backwards from the way you'd like to steer it.

But, in general, his MOUSE IS POINTING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. There, is that better?

17. I think they caught him

during the obligiatory Sunday call to Mom (Babs,) during which Laura knows she cannot remain in the room.

G: "...Yes Mother...yes Mother, I know..."
B: "...Why don't you play a little solitaire?...get your hand out of your pants pocket Georgie, now!..."
G: "...yes...Mother..."

25. Is the whole Crawford ranch done in those boring shades of beige?

Also, there's frosted glass from one room to the other, yet the glass on the outside door is clear. How is this secure?

"Hello? Yes, that's right... THE president. Now, where's that pizza? I ordered it over an hour ago, and don't tell me it's 'on the way'!"

29. yup -- you don't want the design of the room to be more interesting ...

... than the inhabitants. And unfortunately, where * is involved, that kind of puts a crimp in your options.

The reflection in the glass on the door to the next room. Look at the amount of light on the desk. This wasn't just a "photo-op" my friend. This was a staged "Look presidential, it's a Sears portrait" moment.

Not an "Oops! Look what we caught the president doing -- working!" shot, but a "Mr. President, I think the light is better if you turn your head to the left about an inch."
