George W. Bush Spotted From Shadows, At Baseball Game

Wonkette operative “Miriam H.” sends us this historic photo of our nation’s greatest president, George W. Bush, at a Texas baseball game today, where he threw out the first pitch. He is looking east at Mecca because it is that time of day. This is the closest a Wonkette operative has ever gotten to George W. Bush — THAT WE KNOW OF. Gross.

    How is it he is not married to Michelle Bachman? Such great minds should dwell together!

    Orange is always a great camoflague color.

  3. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:59 pm, April 6th, 2009

    …damn it! Where is a wild pitch when you really need one?!?!

    This is like those blurry pictures of a supposed Klaus Barbie buying vegetables at a market in Viedma, Argentina, right?

    The brunette over the guy’s left shoulder….I’d hit it. And I’m being generous because she could be a J-Load with the fire down below.

    Izzat Karl Rove?

  8. Vartan84 says at 3:07 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I almost touched Laura Bush a couple years ago and have the exceedingly uncomfortable-looking (as all things are with her) picture to prove it.
    But I guess that’s not the same as George though so the closest Wonkette operative record still stands with this post.

  9. Violenza says at 3:08 pm, April 6th, 2009

    He looks more and more like Barbara every day. Old ass.

  10. bitchincamaro says at 3:08 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Was he with “Curveball”?

  11. iwillsavethispatient says at 3:08 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Oh Dubya, come back! All is forgiven!

    Oh wait, no. I’ve completely got that the wrong way round.

  12. Come here a minute says at 3:08 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I hope the Wonkette operative washed out the camera with bleach after taking this picture.

    Those aren’t boos you’re hearing, the crowd is just shouting Buuuush. No, upon further review, they’re boos.

  13. Hooray For Anything says at 3:09 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I’m surprised they let him out in a public place, let alone somewhere that involves things being thrown.

  14. I hope the operative thanked him for killing off the GOP.

  15. magic titty says at 3:12 pm, April 6th, 2009

    She could pee on him from there, if she was really trying.

  16. WadISay says at 3:15 pm, April 6th, 2009

    May he rot for eternity in Hell rooting for the Cubs.

  17. Sussemilch says at 3:16 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Dear God, please let me live long enough to watch this evil pass from the Earth.

    Thanks much,

    i’d be afraid to get too close lest the house land on me also. microtrends.

  19. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:19 pm, April 6th, 2009

    …I wonder when we are going to see Cheney at some sporting event?!

  20. bitchincamaro says at 3:23 pm, April 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Cock fights!

    S.Luggo: Preparation for his days spent in minimum security after the Spanish court gets through with him?

  22. SayItWithWookies says at 3:34 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I feel safer just knowing he doesn’t have a job he’s supposed to be doing.

    Proof assinations are carried out by Gov organizations?

    America where art thou?

  25. OReillysVibrator says at 3:38 pm, April 6th, 2009

    He threw the first pitch to Josh Hamilton. “It’s amazing how a man could be a degenerate drug addict, become really religious, and come back to lead his team to wreak havoc from Seattle to Boston and everywhere in between.” “Thank you, Mr. Hamilton.”

  26. comradepaulson says at 3:44 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I’m starting to feel about George W. Bush the way I feel about a certain ex-boyfriend. I still hate him, but it’s not a blinding, burning hatred anymore. I just really don’t want to see him or hear about him. I believe this stage is called “acceptance.” Or maybe “denial.”

  27. m_supercomputer says at 3:50 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I’ve seen Dick Cheney in person. Well, if by ‘in person,’ one means one story below, through a window. He was visiting something or other on my office’s street, and so the Secret Service completely closed the street to all traffic, cars and pedestrians, and put snipers on every roof. He is, of course, sooo very beloved in DC.

  28. sevenrepeat says at 3:51 pm, April 6th, 2009

    did he try to snort the baseball diamond lines on the field?

  29. engulfedinflames says at 3:53 pm, April 6th, 2009

    how is it that he can go out in public without being covered with spit?

  30. genericuserid says at 4:00 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I ran into George Sr. at a baseball game here in portland maine a couple of years ago. He was holding everyone up, or rather, the secret service was, and i thought i was just waiting for some handiclapped folk get into there handicapped spaces, or whatevers, and was getting all irate and uppity with the security guys. I have an attitude problem, apparently.

  31. S.Luggo says at 4:04 pm, April 6th, 2009

    suchsweetthunder: I see that our former Criminal-in-Chief already has his arms cuffed behind him. There will always be a special place in the Turkish prison of my heart for you, George.

  32. Red Zeppelin says at 4:09 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I thought Letterman had a great joke about W. Something to the effect of: It’s April Fools Day. Amazing–a mere ten weeks after leaving office and W. has his own holiday.

    Of course it would be funnier if it were April War Criminals Day.

  33. timeoutofmind says at 4:11 pm, April 6th, 2009

    there HAS been the occasional foul ball fatality in the past.

    isn’t the stupid fucking idiot angling to be baseball commissioner ? if he is, better get to a game quick, cause if he ever makes it to the commish office, america’s pasttime will be a smoking ruin in about a year, and bud selig will be looking like a cross between jesus and pete rozell in comparison.

    i, for one, still hate the moron with every ounce of my being.

  34. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 4:13 pm, April 6th, 2009

    I thought by the colors that was maybe in Houston–though the ‘Stros don’t play until tonight. (Maybe they had the good sense to let him throw out the first pitch of a game that doesn’t count, i.e. yesterday’s.) Then I saw that the beer sign in Minute Maid actually reads “Budweiser” not the illiterate north Texas asshole version, “Bud.” Arlington sucks–it’s really a nice spot for Douche in Chief to spend his pre-incarceration days–right between two theme parks in a shitty exburb of both Dallas & Ft. Worth.

  35. Accordion-o-rama says at 4:15 pm, April 6th, 2009

    S.Luggo: One can only hope he’ll be wearing a lot of orange in the coming years.

  36. Hooray For Anything says at 4:20 pm, April 6th, 2009

    timeoutofmind: When Bush owned the Texas Rangers, Jose Canseco was basically running a lab experiment with steroids in the clubhouse and and when other players saw how well players on the Rangers improved their game, started juicing up too. According to Canseco, Bush knew what was going on but didn’t do anything about it. So you don’t have to worry about Bush becoming Commissioner and destroying baseball because in his own way, he already has.

  37. Hedley Lamar says at 4:22 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Wait, I’m confused.. I just saw the headline on some tabloid at the store yesterday
    that said he’d attempted suicide and Condi talked him down. This photo cannot be real!

  38. Come here a minute says at 4:29 pm, April 6th, 2009

    The guy next to Bush has the mysterious “back bulge” like Bush at the Kerry debate — these people and their secret devices!

  39. suchsweetthunder says at 4:32 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Hedley Lamar: Condi? A diplomatic “achievement”? Figures.

  40. Scandinavian Fetus says at 5:14 pm, April 6th, 2009

    For the love of God, I hope that he is not the first-base coach.

    And remember, if you don’t baseball, the Terrorists win.

  41. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 5:16 pm, April 6th, 2009

    TimeCubist: i don’t think so. doughy blowhard hangers on & losers are a dime a dozen in Texas.

  42. Accordion-o-rama says at 5:33 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Accordion-o-rama: Just in case the secret service is listening, I was
    refering to a prison jump-suit, worn after completion of a free, legal and public trial.

  43. LittlePig says at 5:47 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Come here a minute: That’s just a Secret Service dude. They’ve been cross-bred with reptiles and the dorsal ridge problem hasn’t been quite worked out yet.

  44. prophet1195 says at 6:18 pm, April 6th, 2009

    George W. Bush, at a South American baseball game today, where he threw out the first pitch for the Ecuador Nazis. He is looking east at Austria because it is that time of day Adolph Hitler was born. This is the closest an American has ever gotten to George W. Bush.

    He just ordered 3 liters of Lowenbrau and 2 Bratwurst with saurkraut for he and his mistress, Jeff Gannon.

  45. S.Luggo says at 8:13 pm, April 6th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: An abridged dictionary might work as well.

    LittlePig: Be kind. The agent is actually guarding Lindsay Graham’s naughty bijon frise. A pencil stream of hot yellow pee is almost impossibe to remove from a suit pants. I’m talking about the dog, not Bush. No, wait …

    prophet1195: Win.

    AngryBlakGuy: Lawyer shooting season doesn’t open until Fall in Wyoming.

  47. DoctorCulturae says at 10:49 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Hope the first pitch involved a shoe.
