Yesterday, Drudge Report had a pic of scabby faced good ol boy GW… yet now i’m looking at the pictures of last night’s speech and he’s looking fairly healed? They slap some putty on his mug or does the government have a TOP SECRET way to heal the president…
Make-up.
It seems he fell off his bicycle over the weekend.
That’s what happens when you forget to pedal…
The bruised image of Bush is actually a stock image taken from the “pretzel scare” incident:

I believe he had no obvious head injuries from falling off his bicycle. I have noticed that he is talking very slowly and saying extremely stupid things, but I’m pretty sure it is unrelated to the accident.
I assume Secret Service agents wrestled the bicycle to the ground, and it’s being held at Gitmo indefinitely.
The photo on the Drudge report… http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/data/2004/05/24/20040524_061202.htm
shows injuries consistant with the fall… yet pics from the speech last night seemed to show him sans scabs… http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/05/24/bush.poll/index.html
I’m curious if this was a fancy makeup job?
Nonsense. The Secret Service agents just opened fire until it was scrap.
As for Junior, the “wounds” on his face don’t look that bad. It looks more sore than cut or scraped. A bit of makeup would hide that easily.
then there is this picture of him… G Dub(our pres.)
Looking at the pic from Drudge, it looks like his chin could be covered easily enough, while the roughest damage to his face, it is uniform and would probably be easy to cover. The cut on his nose is barely a scratch also would be easy to cover.
I’m looking at that little nick on his lip. How’d they cover that? Too close to his mouth for makeup, (though I might be wrong, I know little to nothing about cosmetics) but he looks just fine in the later photo.
What would they use to cover something like that up?
I think the picture’s a fake. Was W riding his bike in a suit? Why would he let a picture be taken of him looking like that?
(BTW, I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a Bush fan.)
It was clearly one of W’s many doubles, used as a decoy to hide his true whereabouts.
It’s not fake, here is another picture by the AP. It was taken the day after the crash, that’s why he’s in a suit.
Not saying that it is fake, but I wouldn’t put it past them to fabricate such an incident to endear him to the 18-24 crowd. Next he’s gonna pull a hamstring while playing hackeysack with his buddies Fly and Granola Mike.
I’m thinking the same stuff morticians use on disfigured corpses.
Just a spill from an off-road bike should not have been embarrassing. Hey, stuff happens. However, his press people instinctively went into protective mode. They declared that recent heavy rains had made the dirt unstable. Actually, the previous week had no rain at all in Crawford, Texas. What can you say about somebody who lies when it’s not necessary, just out of habit?
Haven’t you realized yet? Nothing is his fault. He can’t do anything wrong. If something bad happens, it’s someone (or something) else’s fault, not his.
There was already a pit thread on the rain/no rain question. The short of it: there was some precipitation the week before where he was riding.
