Oh look who is enjoying the Special Olympics in China! It’s your own president, George W. Bush. His nice daughter Barbara is making the “OMFG I am so ashamed and yet I sort of smile while clawing my brains out through my ear” face. [Getty via Andrew Sullivan]
…I think “Shit Faced” Bush would be more accurate for this photo! That being said I would totally NOT pull out on Barbara!
What a lame duck impression.
So sick of this douche…
Ha ha, love your placeholder text before the photo appears. I thought ‘duckface’ must be a mistype…
That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.
The past eight years have been fucking amazing.
Wow, where did Barbara get those looks from? Not from Shrub and the Stepford Wife,
to be sure, and poor Jenna looks exactly like her dumb father.
Zut alors!
zardoz73: The milk man must have been very good-looking?
You’re right, though, as far as looks go she’s kind of the Marilyn Munster.
you know i dont think i have ever seen a picture like that of any other president in history, G.W. is unique ill give him that
George wants the Chinese divers to jump through that narrow hoop of his fingers giving the traditional Mongolian “fuck you” sign?
How diplomatic!
We’re going to miss dear ol’ Shrub. Let’s keep him around a few more years, in jail. Texas-style.
AngryBlakGuy: Did you see the footage of Bush Senior playing ping pong with a very patient young Chinese lady? The man looked as if he’d just been awoken from a deep sleep.
Remember how Bush One barfed on the lap of the Japanese prime minister on an official visit? Or when Junior couldn’t find his way off a press conference stage and was out-maneuvered by a pair of big red doors?
I think these guys have jet lag, on top of no brains or sense. Maybe we should declare them both war criminals now and refuse to let them back in ‘Murika…let ‘em cruise the world looking for a safe haven just like other dictator-criminals.
freppish: thank god.
Why not the picture of Bush and checking his watch during the opening ceremony instead? Soooo much more embarrassing/hilarious/depressing/hilarious!
At one point it appeared that he was looking around for the beer vendor or some guy selling peanuts and cotton candy. Apparently the flashy lights and pretty colors were just too intellectual for him.
George has been rummaging around in the girls purses again!
From Wikipedia: A gurn is a distorted facial expression, and a verb to describe the action. The term is also used to describe the facial expressions of people under the influence of the drug ecstasy and other stimulants.
Tarantino will call him up later and they’ll go out and watch the pretty lights together. Good times.
Holy make-up, Batman! Barbara looks like Barbra, circa 1964.
freppish: I’m sure other presidents have made utterly retarded faces before. It’s just that they weren’t president during the reing of cell phone and ditigal cameras, or snarky political blogs.
In a way, it’s kind of scary to look back and realize that the Clinton presidency ended just as I was buying my first cell phone. Everything that has happened, technologically, over the past 8 years has happened during Bush’s reign. It’s really mind-boggling to me.
AnnieGetYourFun: Thank god for the political cartoonists!
contentsunderpressure: To me, that facial expression is the exact face made before one belches up several cubic centimeters of beer gas. You know, where the tingly part of the belch sort of hits the backside of your nostrils? And you’re trying not to let it out in one giant, ludricrous BBBBLLLLLLLLLEEEEAEAAAAAHHHHH sound, so you try to sort of hiss it out between your teeth? That’s what I think he’s attempting.
Or he’s just waiting for the shortbus, as usual.
AnnieGetYourFun: Yep, that near beer is only good for burping and farting. I wonder if there were any follow-up pics to confirm the theory?
I’m fucking suing for copyright infringement, trademark infringement loss of reputation. Quack!
Oh, and I’d obviously hit that. Was she adopted??
“and” loss…..
“and” loss…..
Clearly all duck-faces need editors.
Quacker: I figured you’d be weighing in soon.
However, it looks to me like “W” has the face of someone who wears the uniform but not the pants…. Donald Duck!
how come the Enquirer doesn’t have their exciting “spy cam” techmologies installed in old George’s hotel room, so we can see some blurry pics of a sweaty man drinking cleaning products…
Thought bubbles…
W: Lots of them Chinee fellows here in Chinee! U Ess Amerca, Fuk yeh!
Babs II: Jenna got the big marriage and I got stuck traveling with dad, hanging out with all these yellow furiner peoples.
The Emperor’s Poop Sniffer.

Oh, British media: Your delightful conjecture warms my heart. Thank you for covering the REAL story.
Even if it is delightful to imagine the world’s most powerful man going around giving booty shots to strangers in his sweat-stained dress shirt, like some past-his-prime frat boy who refuses to graduate and give up his former glory of being a big man on campus.
mattbolt:
That visor “cap” makes W look even more retarded than even I thought possible.
BTW, WTF happened to US America beach volleyball players? Weren’t they all supposed to be hot like Gabby Reece? Both seemed have, uh, manned up.
mattbolt: Well, I’m glad to see George getting down to the bottom of the things.
ManchuCandidate: Women’s volleyball players were never that hot, except in select cases. They appear to have negative body fat percentages, which is why one should hug a women’s v-ball player to lose weight.
TGY:
There seemed to be a glut of them in the early 00s. Mostly Brazilian though.
sezme: Yes, couldn’t you have shown a photo of Rosa Parks instead? (inside joke for frequent Wonketeers)
mattbolt: Just shoot me now.
Suddenly, in front of thousands of startled yet somewhat amused onlookers, the President of the United States of America finally completes his metamorphosis into a chimpanzee.
Bush had an interesting interview with Bob Costa on NBC yesterday. First, he went on and on about how each time he met the Chinese officials on this trip, he brought up Christianity and going to church. Then, he goes on to talk about how the goal of his trip is to show respect to the Chinese people and officials. He has absolutely zero self awareness, I swear.
Costas did fine with the interview, especially considering he was talking to a stone cold idiot, but old Bob is dying his hair now and needs to step up from the drugstore home coloring kits and have it done at a salon. Really Bob, you got the money. Also, lay off the Flowbee. Not a good look for you.
I like the fact that he didn’t cheer for the Puerto Rican team during the opening ceremonies. That must have really confused him.
Remind me again. Who is this doofus?
Cape Clod: Not only that, but when Georgia walked past, he went nuts trying to find out why Texas didn’t have a team there too.
Am I the only one who noticed the line of scabs on Bush’s arm near elbow? Look at the picture again and get back to me.
Here’s the URL for the big picture: http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/10/bushcameronspencergetty.jpg
Christastic: I noticed the scabs in the volleyball photos of him. He was trying to show of for the volleyball ladies. His entire shirt-back was drenched in hard earned sweat, damnit. I’m sure that he face planted in the sand while trying to make some heroic return. He’s never been great at heroics or sand.
Arm scabs = fell down while drunk. Believe me, I know — my dad has them.
Does anybody else think that Putin decided to invade Georgia BEFORE a new president comes into power? knowing that Chimpy is too drunk right now to do anything effective to stop him?
Quietly: And what was really funny is how Laura watched him check his watch and then checked her own. “Omigod have we really been here that long?” Both douches. Liked the way he belatedly starting applauding the Iraqis. Yeah, you’d better, you fuck.
Shouldn’t he be working on something or other?
Ship that man a banjo!
What a Texas-sized turd. Give him a 12-pack of Coors and let his drunk ass wander around the fireworks launching area.
Redneck bastard. Shows up drunk, mocks the host, and does a little whoop-whoop every time the US gets gold to steal the dignity from it. 10$ says he’s found passed out Tuesday in a rowing shell with Katie Hoff.
Christastic: Yikes, Barbara’s arms are tan, but her hands are all ghastly. WTF?
AnnieGetYourFun: nope. That’s his O-face.
Gopherit v2.0: Good thing Laura only had to see it once.
Barbara Bush is hot. Please run more pictures of Barbara Bush. She should model, or something.
Terry: I watched it. My favorite part was Costas asking Bush what kind of leverage he has with the Chinese given all the problems America has right now.
Bubble Boy responded that America ‘doesn’t have any problems’.
Duckface? Meh. Fuckface, definitely. And Barbara has Butterface, m’kay?
Christastic: I noticed that during the interview with Costas. I just assumed that was from his Chinese handlers taking out his mind control device so that they could concentrate on McCain.
Either that, or he wrestled Putin for control over Georgia.
“Daddy, what’s that smell?”
thefrontpage: But BB is too tame lately. I miss the days of South American hotel hijinks and barfing outside Bleecker Street bars.
this dipshit’s whole life has been about fuckup followed by overcompensation followed by more remarkable fuckup followed again by overcompensation. he’s not intelligent, he’s a legacy. he’s not a jock, he’s a cheerleader. he’s not a military man, he’s a guardsman. he couldn’t get into law school, so poppy got him into business school. he’s not an oilman, he’s a dry hole driller. he’s not a wall street wizard, he’s an inside trader. he’s not a baseball player, he’s a part-owner who got rich on the public teat. he’s a legacy politician. he has two daughters, no sons…so he electrocutes other people’s sons twice a month for shits, giggles, and poll bounces. he can’t hold his liquor. he requires structure–like a child, a well trained dog, or a long-time prisoner. he can’t handle being a world leader, so he has the best photo ops in history. what a fucking loser.
Christastic: Yep, must’ve fell off the bicycle again.//snark off//How could anyone possibly make a face like that if he WEREN’T drunk?
What were those SORES on his arm? Four circular sores I had to rewind my Tivo for. I’ve talked to a few people now who saw them. Any theories? Meth comes to mind.
And yes, he is embarrassing us in a new way every day. We should have sent Barack as if he were already President. Everyone would surround him and tell him how much they love him and then they’d cut to Bush alone with his tiny flag. That guy.
Gee, remember back when it wasn’t Politically Correct to make fun of the retarded?
He looks like he’s leaving a skid mark in his bvds.
Simple George.
