Gah.Here’s a sweet little reminder of the eight years we’ve left behind: It’s another precious photograph of George W. Bush Junior doing what he does best, which is looking like a sack of ass. Good-bye, motherfucker! More tragic pictures of the Idiot King’s last days in power, at the link. [Gawker]

So loss of which perc made him cry…? I vote for loss of the security detail for his mountain bike escapades…

wx insider January 28, 2009 at 1:26 pm

My my Ken, you really need to get over this

hockeymom January 28, 2009 at 1:28 pm

W haz a sad :(

Cape Clod January 28, 2009 at 1:30 pm

I bet he was doing his Don Corleone imitation for the staff to ‘lightnen the mood’. I wouldn’t put anything past that imbecile.

Scottie January 28, 2009 at 1:32 pm

Please no more photos of this idiot’s mugg!

It is painful or at least nauseating.

Monsieur Grumpe January 28, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Looks like he has a bad case of Phronemophobia.

magic titty January 28, 2009 at 1:33 pm

I distinctly remember Peter Lorre making that face in “M”.

shortsshortsshorts January 28, 2009 at 1:35 pm

What are Fred Thompson and Lieberman doing to our Executives? BASTARDS.

Min January 28, 2009 at 1:37 pm

I’d cry, too, if I had screwed over my country the way he has.

Servo January 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm

He looks like a child that was denied a PlayStation for Christmas.

BillyClubb January 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm

He’s either thinking to himself “Can I be prosecuted for all that shit I did?”, or “Damn, I can’t wait for my dealer to get here.”

Violenza January 28, 2009 at 1:40 pm

Deflated Curious George balloon transition complete.

masterdebater January 28, 2009 at 1:40 pm

The picture was taken right after someone said, “who’s the decider now, bitch?”

Atheist Nun January 28, 2009 at 1:40 pm

George W. Bush: Finally Feelin’ The Hate
Damn. Someone missed a golden opportunity to kick him square in the nuts, while he was down.

chascates January 28, 2009 at 1:41 pm

He’s thinking “Jesus, now I’ll have to spend all my time with Laura. Hello, Jim Beam.”

spacewolf January 28, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Meth?

blinky_twinkie January 28, 2009 at 1:41 pm

He literally has *no* idea why people hate him, or why he will go down in history as the worst US president ever. Pathologically clueless.

Tommy Says Soooo January 28, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Apparently this is just after the Local Homeowners Association gave him hell and found out his old house was moved in by the Negroes. Dumbass thought he’d skate out to Dallas without them noticing.

Capt. Renault January 28, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Sooner or later, Helen Thomas is gonna gitcha.

SayItWithWookies January 28, 2009 at 1:45 pm

He looks like he just found out they were able to recover all those emails.

freakishlystrong January 28, 2009 at 1:45 pm

Mission Accomplished! Never Forget.

ignatius_riley January 28, 2009 at 1:47 pm

I wonder if his face will actually fall off when he is indicted. I mean, it’s slid halfway down already, in these shots, and that’s just him sighing with relief for being allowed to leave without handcuffs on.

Aurelio January 28, 2009 at 1:48 pm

This is the most chimpanzee-like photo I have ever seen of our former President. He looks like he just ran out of bananas.

Colander January 28, 2009 at 1:49 pm

[re=230737]blinky_twinkie[/re]: I’m sure he has some clue, but imagine coming to terms with Ruining The World? I know people who can’t accept that they left the iron on.

The Cold Sea January 28, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Big boys don’t cry.

sarahconnor January 28, 2009 at 1:52 pm

is that a piece of orange peel in his mouth?

he coulda been a contendah.

WadISay January 28, 2009 at 1:52 pm

I never thought I would utter these words, but I actually find Nixon a more empathetic figure.

DoctorCulturae January 28, 2009 at 1:53 pm

freakishlystrong: Methinks you should patent and make this into a license plate. On second thought maybe Dub will get the chance to make them hizself.

To think his dad’s “mission thing” would turn into this. Epic pathetic fail.

queeraselvis v 2.0 January 28, 2009 at 2:00 pm

Douche. Bag. Motherfucker.

That is all.

takes12no1 January 28, 2009 at 2:02 pm

W’s unique way with words has collectively been known as “Bushisms”. What do we call his collection of unique facial expressions???….hmmmmm….fascisms maybe???!!

Syd January 28, 2009 at 2:03 pm

That is the look of him attempting to find the appropriate emotional response to Cheney blasing him for not pardoning Libby. “But, Dick, I thought we were friends?!?”

Dirtbag Jones January 28, 2009 at 2:05 pm

This is the only picture he should be remembered by. All other images need to be deleted,burned, or shot into space.

blinky_twinkie January 28, 2009 at 2:08 pm

[re=230755]Colander[/re]: Well, but that’s the thing: I don’t think he does have any clue as to what he did that was so awful. Seymour Hersh says something like Bush has this pathology at work that prevents him from getting beyond the mere surface of things at the end of “Chain of Command” (2004). He just can’t get his brain around the consequences of what he’s done.

Giant Robot January 28, 2009 at 2:10 pm

The hardest part of being president: “Dad, you know how you worked your whole life rigging the world economy… I kind of fucked it up”

lawrenceofthedesert January 28, 2009 at 2:12 pm

The first photo to capture his essence: Nixon without brains.

Anonymous Office Zombie January 28, 2009 at 2:13 pm

What a goon.

Still, the defining moment was probably Bush’s impromptu little dance while waiting for WALNUTZ! I still can’t believe that shit. And to think that it’ll be preserved in video form for all future generations…

Jukesgrrl January 28, 2009 at 2:24 pm

He just found out Hopey is wearing the invisible bullet-proof vest they didn’t bother to invent for him.

Doglessliberal January 28, 2009 at 2:25 pm

[re=230755]Colander[/re]: I don’t hink he does. His biggest regret is that the Navy put up a Mission Accomplished banner. The man is so pathologically in denial of reality, and so driven by rampant ideology, and so incapable of empathy or even imagining what it would be like to be anyone but a rich, white, son of provilege, that he is truly unaware of the destruction he has wrought.

He thinks his presidency has been a success.

Think about that a moment.

He thinks the environmental policies, the State Dept subsumed by Defense, the “spreading democracy” while eroding it all here at home (hey, what privacy rights? Hey, what freedom of information? What Constitution?), that these are good things.

He (and Cheney, and other apologists) speak a different language than most people. The world IS good for them, so everything must be A-OK.

[re=230709]wx insider[/re]: I’m with Ken on this one. Hard to “get over” irreparable destruction.

Doglessliberal January 28, 2009 at 2:27 pm

[re=230789]blinky_twinkie[/re]: agreed, but add that he thinks the consequences are GOOD. And they ARE for him and his cohort.

Doglessliberal January 28, 2009 at 2:31 pm

[re=230799]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]: How about the interview when he said catching some big-ass bass in the lake in TX was his proudest moment? I think that captures a lot.

bitchincamaro January 28, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Poopy diaper.

CaliforniaMike January 28, 2009 at 2:38 pm

[re=230836]Doglessliberal[/re]: Watch this shot.

bitchincamaro January 28, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Does NOT need to be Blingee’d.

Hound January 28, 2009 at 2:46 pm

Its true that he is a fool, but you’re a naive goon if you think he doesn’t know what he’s done. His strength is his demeanor. He can get away with anything, and that won’t change one bit now that he’s gone. The only thing to be hopeful for, is that now he can only fuck up Texas with impunity and glee.

obfuscator January 28, 2009 at 2:48 pm

What a shitty old Droopy Dog this one is.

recharged95 January 28, 2009 at 2:48 pm

Ran the country like pets.com.

Looks like he’s trying out for spokesperson at pets.com

Servo January 28, 2009 at 2:53 pm

Not enough sugar in his paste.

Colander January 28, 2009 at 3:00 pm

[re=230828]Doglessliberal[/re]: I think I’m kinda saying that too. Not that he consciously knows, but he’s gotta have the emotional sense, what with all the glaring evidence, that he done fucked up. It’s just probably gonna take a long time (like maybe never) for his little superego to be able to grasp all that’s gone down in the past eight years. Just understanding the damage would probably make just being alive feel kinda painful.

(for the record, I hate Bush with the force of a trillion suns, I’m just trying to ‘get him’, since he can’t hurt me anymore [except the residual damage that still depresses the country to this day].)

Doglessliberal January 28, 2009 at 3:02 pm

[re=230887]Colander[/re]: not to quote Sully, but I will quote Sully:

http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/01/the-presider.html

This is really very good. I like this bit:

“At times, Bush’s indifference to the system around him bordered on a kind of political autism. And so one of the oddest aspects of Bush’s presidency was his tendency to declare things as if merely saying them as president could make them so.”

Doglessliberal January 28, 2009 at 3:04 pm

oh, and this bit:

“If Bush was about the presidency as power, Obama is about the presidency as authority. It’s fascinating to watch this deep difference in understanding slowly but unmistakably realize itself in public actions. Somewhere the Founders are smiling. The system is correcting itself after one of the most unbalanced periods in American history. But it took the self-restraint of one man to do it.”

AnnieGetYourFun January 28, 2009 at 3:27 pm

Huh. I actually thought that he had a stroke, but that’s usually just one side of your face.

psilage January 28, 2009 at 3:42 pm

[re=230890]Doglessliberal[/re]: The essence of conservative oomph these days – being clueless enough you can say it with a straight face, and yet at the same time cleans-up-nice enough that your straight face doesn’t look like the unwashed dope you really are.

Cape Clod January 28, 2009 at 3:47 pm

[re=230891]Doglessliberal[/re]: I have to admit, sometimes he is really pretty good.

blinky_twinkie January 28, 2009 at 5:29 pm

I think psychiatrists and other mental health professionals will be making careers out of This One and The Imperial Presidency for a hundred years. I also agree with the difference that This One was all about the Presidency as P.O.W.A.H. while That One is all about the Presidency as Authority.

Moleman v2.5 January 28, 2009 at 6:27 pm

[re=230926]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Well, in his case, since the top half is mostly empty space (you don’t crack off zingers like “I’m a war president with fully functioning frontal lobes), maybe his lizard brain had a stroke?

S.Luggo January 28, 2009 at 7:36 pm

Bush provides an excellent mime of America’s favorite ensemble actor of stage and silver screen. Please remember that, in the good times and in the bad times, George could always make us laugh. And he kept us safe.

What happened was he was working on his autobiography, and he broke his crayon.
