Anyone else notice that pup tent he had pitched in the front of his pants when Wyoming read off their nomination? At first I thought it was just a fold in his pants, but when the camera zoomed in closer you could see that he was a 'sportin. ---

Holy mother of God. And here I was wasting my time watching Fox. Any photographic evidence? ---

So Wyoming gives him a woody, eh? And here I’d thought he picked Cheney just because his old man told him to. ---

Hey, if a major political party had just decided that I would be their candidate, I’d be sporting the mother of all boners myself. ---

Why hasn’t someone invoked the standard trick to bring down any presidential hopeful? Why hasn’t some woman emerged from left field to claim he slept with her? After all, mud sticks and shit stinks. Even when it’s proven wrong, his credibility is still dented. Or is he truly Mr Teflon? ---

Hey, once you’ve had an elementary school librarian, no other woman can cut the mustard. Those chicks are ANIMALS in the sack. I’m amazed Bush can still even walk. ---

Did you know there is a librarian genre in porn? Ukelele is right though, you’d be surprised at how kinked many librarians are (I’m a degreed, though non-practicing, librarian so I’ve seen them up close). ---

We’ll see about that… Good thing his Daddy kept him outta vietnam. I was wondering the same things about mud slinging. He is trying to keep it above board but only because he has some bad bad stuff in his past. I’d heard rumors long time ago about him doing lots of blow and banging chicks outside of marriage in the past. Heck he has even admitted to making lots of personal mistakes. Why isnt’ that coming up? ---

Now that the grand Bush Love-Fest in Philadelphia is over, the Media can knuckle down and start digging up his past embarrassments. I’m sure the opposition party would prefer that these hit the headlines a little closer to November, but we’ll probably start seeing photos of a young Dubya with a shiteating grin and a “Got Coke?” nose as soon as the muckrakers find them. Before he married Miss Barefoot and Pregnant, he seemed to live in a variety of Swinging Texas Bachelor Pads through the early '70s, which were also his prime boozing years. So we can expect to see lots of interesting indiscretions, performed in really hideous clothing, dragged back into the light over the next few months. “PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER GEORGE W. BUSH STAGGERS DRUNKENLY INTO SWIMMING POOL WHILE WEARING LEISURE SUIT AND GROPING OFF-DUTY STEWARDESS – 1974” ---

Wouldn’t this thread be better titled “Bush dresses to the right”? (If your unfamiliar with the phrase, go ask an old tailor.) ---

Hey, here’s a piece of NYC trivia which may not be familiar… Check out the statue of Thomas Jefferson outside the Columbia University School of Journalism at 2950 Broadway. The sculptor felt that old Tom “dressed to the right.” ---

That’s news to me, Uke. But how about the full-length portrait of Geo. Washington in the City Council Chamber at NYC City Hall. (It may be a copy of a famous original. Dunno.) It is rumored to be a not-so-subtle insult to the man: 1. It shows George and just the ass-end of his horse, as if to say, “Which is the bigger of these two asses?” And… 2. He’s got a woman’s crotch! Not a bump or lump in sight down there. In fact, his form fitting white britches look like a shaved you-can-imagine-what. Poor George, portrayed as the mother of our country! And who said those old timey guys had no sense of humor? ---

The “pup tent” was featured on the Comedy Channel’s Daily Show. Catch it again at 6PM today. They do several close ups. ---

The Daily Show showed the clip several times last night, 8/3. His wifes hands were very close to the “alleged woody” at the same time. I think the prospect of her husband becoming Prez excited her so much she had to touch the magic pole and bring it to attention in Dubbyas honor.
