These pics are priceless. Look at the Shrub's face!
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 06:53 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
U.S. President George W. Bush reacts in this combination picture as Merchant Marine Academy graduate Gabriel Whitney of Nashua, New Hampshire, gives him a big hug after Whitney received his degree at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point in New York, June 19, 2006. Bush addressed the Academy's 2006 graduating class. REUTERS/Jason Reed (UNITED STATES)



http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/21/nyregion/21hug.html?ex=1308542400&en=9161a3ccfed05908&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

The NY Times than wrote an article about Whitney and I think this is a cute segment about him -

Mr. Whitney's sister, who works in an advertising office, had designed T-shirts for the 15 family members who attended the ceremony. Mr. Whitney's many difficulties in reaching graduation were emblazoned on the front of the shirt: 4,872 demerits ("painful"); four and a half years on academic restriction ("wounding"); two visits to the committee that weighs student expulsions ("agonizing"); two reprieves from the admiral ("necessary"); and six years of school with only an undergraduate degree to show for it ("humbling").

The back of the shirt, which bore a photograph of the midshipman and the American flag, celebrated his crowning achievement: "Passing all licensing exams, first try: Priceless."

3. I have a question.
Why did the Merchant Marines let this loser (the one in white)
stay on for 6 years after f&*king up so much?

12. He was on the Today Show this morning and is very funny and cute and
maybe he charmed his way through the Academy the way the Shrub probably charmed his way through Yale.

6. I bet there are times when George is really jealous
of Queen Elizabeth. "Why are people allowed to hug me? Nobody hugs her."

10. Bush Is Afraid Of Him
If you had ever been locked up you would have seen Bush's face a million times on the inmates who are scared to death.
