George W. Bush seems happy as ever as America's cheerleader-in-chief at the Beijing Olympics. Too bad his handlers didn't take care of the flag business as they normally do in arranging props for the President.

So, is Dubya using the flag to make a political statement? Is he unAmerican? What if a figurehead like Miss America showed disrespect like this for America's number one symbol?

Help us caption George's flagging moment by submitting a comment.

Sure I'm drunk; it's a sportin' event, ain't it?

Hey, it's totally OK

I'm the Unitary Executive, just ask my A.G. It's not wrong to break the rules for display of the flag, just because they are rules. When you are POTUS, fighting a War against Terror and on foreign soil, you can do WHATEVER IT TAKES to defeat the enemy, even display the U.S. Flag incorrectly. So, shut the F*&% up, before I have you sent to Gitmo for some "enhanced interrogation."

Is the Government we deserve?

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. - Plato. Bush proves that to be true. Now - get out there and register to vote, register your friends and get informed. Remember to vote.

Except that...

Don't bother to try to vote if you are a newly minted "young" or "black" voter, because you will probably find that your registration is "missing" and will be asked to vote "provisionally" which is sort of like getting paid on payday in cow dung with a "provisional" promise of a paycheck next week.

Oh, and don't bother to try and vote if you are an ex-felon, (or have a name similar to one) even if you are legally allowed to vote.

In fact, don't bother to go to the voting place unless you are bringing BACKUP and are prepared to FIGHT for your right to cast a non-provisional (i.e. potentially countable) ballot, because you aren't going to get one.

Instead of Shrub, focus on Barbara:

They don't call me Wrong Way George For Nothing... If it weren't for Uncle Dick dressing me every morning, my lapel pin would probably be upside down too...

The only comment I have is...What an asshole! Not only that but sitting in front of him is an old time war criminal, Henry Kissinger. Birds of a feather. What a bunch of schmucks.

Looks OK from my angle

Submitted by deegee99 on Wed, 08/13/2008 - 10:16am.

Never mind the captions. Look who is sitting in front of Bush - Henry Kissinger! He's one of the group of hidden hands that is REALLY steering this country into disaster.

Bush and our Flag

At least Bush isn't whacking our flag on his thigh this time, unlike earlier in the week.

He might be holding it correctly

Submitted by Redvines00 on Tue, 08/12/2008 - 9:45pm.

If you look at military uniforms which have the flag on the right sleeve, the stars on the flag are near the front which IIRC means they are closer to the heart. He may have been correct but not by design.

Huh?

Submitted by SpikeHeels on Wed, 08/13/2008 - 11:08am.

You ASSUME he has a heart. Most of his actions over the past 7 years say he doesn't.

...holding it correctly-

Submitted by Silver Bullet on Wed, 08/13/2008 - 12:23am.

Of Course he's hoding it correctly; for those "Behind" him. That's the group he's always done everything for. While he's not a REAL Conservative (or Republican), He does seem to be a perfect specimen of the "Neo-Republican" neo-Conservative that has become the #1 chanker on the USofA body politic.
