Stupid Republican idea of the day

This is why Trump is the best choice among the Republiopathic clowns. At least with Trump other countries could be reassured (“Don’t worry, his hotline to NORAD has been rewired to go to a Hollywood studio where young actors do impressions of Buck Turgidson and Jack Ripper.”) But a Walker, Cruz or ¡Jeb! might be taken seriously.

There’s a fairly strong consensus that GWB was the worst President ever. If the GOP wins in 2016, GWB is likely to lose that distinction.

How do you think the parking lots get so damaged to need repaving in the first place? :smiley:

Stay classy, Republicans:

Ted Cruz Criticizes Carter Day After Wrenching Talk on Cancer

Not to mention that he showed up today on the radio broadcast of the guy who said that undocumented workers should be enslaved.

It looks to me like “The Donald” may not quite be right. More like “Don Trumpi”, who said:
I’d say, [to the Pope] ‘ISIS wants to get you,'” Trump told (CNN’s Chris) Cuomo. “You know that ISIS wants to go in and take over the Vatican? You have heard that. You know, that’s a dream of theirs, to go into Italy.”

Because, those Italians, all they understand is – oh, wait, the pope is not Italian.

Nevermind.

(Picture at link.)

I guess his real body was too scrawny.

I don’t believe his team was that incompetent.

The hand was photoshopped in.
:smiley:

In a season full of bizarre moments, this might the most bizarre yet. What a strange thing to get busted for.

Caught red-handed. Sort of.

Black hands matter.

I laughed.

That picture is so hilarious. It’s made my day.

First rule of politics: Never let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

I was concerned that a Jeb Bush presidency would draw us into a other war. I just didn’t expect it to be World War I.

I don’t think it’s a black man’s body. But it is bad photoshop.

I could imagine a bad graphic designer artificially darkening that hand so the white of the letter “J” wouldn’t blend in with his pasty white skin. Better to outline the lettering in black, though.

Stroke, don’t burn!

A partial case of Van Dyke syndrome.

(For those unaware, Google Dick Van Dyke black hands.)

I thought at first this was an optical illusion and his hand was just in shadow. But there’s a greater value contrast between the fingernails and the skin on his left hand than his right. I don’t think that’s his hand, and looking at the head/torso relationship, I don’t think that’s his body.

However, I have not opened it up in Photoshop and really analyzed it, so take this with a grain of salt.

Much as I hate to miss an opportunity to sneer at a Bush, I have a hard time buying that that is a black man’s torso. What did they do about the right hand? Splice in a picture of a white hand with the fingers splayed in exactly the right position to cover up the black one? Sounds like a lot more trouble than just using a photo of a white person–or even ¡JEB!–to begin with, and after going through that much trouble, how could they just ignore the other hand? I’m more inclined to believe something like garygnu’s explanation, instead.

I can only hope that all this attention to the black hand won’t distract people from the very important message in the picture: Why Jeb?

The first thing I thought of when I saw that picture was adding a . . .Why!? at the end of it.
