Photos: "Bush reacts as another attempt at sinking a basket fails during game with Belfast students"








President Bush reacts as another attempt at sinking a basket fails during a game of basketball with students at the Lough View Integrated Primary School in Belfast, Northern Ireland, June 16, 2008.

US president George W. Bush meets members of the PeacePlayers international Basketball Group at Loughview integrated primary school, as he ends his visit to Belfast, Northern Ireland, Monday June 16, 2008. PeacePlayers International-Northern Ireland (PPI-NI) uses the game of basketball to address sectarianism and foster mutual respect and tolerance by enabling Catholic and Protestant children ages 10-14 to play the game together. Basketball, unlike traditional sports in Northern Ireland, is not affiliated with either community.

25. Laura went to Dickens House if that is any kind of Irony
As you can see in the same article.




"To be shelterless and alone in the open country, hearing the wind moan and watching for day through the whole long weary night; to listen to the falling rain, and crouch for warmth beneath the lee of some old barn or rick, or in the hollow of a tree; are dismal things—but not so dismal as the wandering up and down where shelter is, and beds and sleepers are by thousands; a houseless rejected creature.
- Charles Dickens

12. The last one is priceless. "How do they do that?"
"I mean, they push the ball down and then it bounces back up and they do it again."

16. When confronted with the truth about his Presidency...
...And how everything he's ever done his whole life has been a failure...

this was George Bush's response:



What a brilliant leader this man is. :sarcasm:

17. He went O-4 .... three free throws and one layup.
One Air ball, two hit the back board and then he missed the lay up



At a news conference with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Bush issued this curious quote: "This has been a good trip. By the way, some are speculating this is my last trip. Let them speculate. Who knows?"

Yes, it is true that many news stories about Bush's journey referred to it as his farewell tour of Europe as president, as his term ends in January.

But that wasn't just speculation based on his shrinking time in office.

It was based on Bush's own words at the start of the trip in Slovenia, just six days earlier.

"It's interesting," Bush said then. "My first visit as U.S. president to Europe included a - my first stop in Slovenia. My last visit as U.S. president to Europe includes first stop in Slovenia. It's a fitting circle."

Maybe it was a long week of travel and he forgot.

30. Now what a challenge!
Edited on Mon Jun-16-08 08:03 PM by NJCher
Rich will have a hard time finding chimp pictures as dumb as the latest ones!

That is a very funny site; I am still laughing over it and the poster upthread who said he hoped bush had the same expressions at his war trial.



Cher

edited to add that I don't understand why the kids who made up a peace group met with the greatest warmonger of our time. Why would they even give him the time of day? Ireland has no love for him, as we all know.

Upon seeing the pictures a third time, I also wanted to say what an effing idiot.

29. Contrast that with the video of Obama running with the UNC team.
Yeah, they may have gone easy on him -- but he could still sink the damn basketball.
