[LizDexic]

Is he shrinking?

[wa ching]

This has got to be the stupidest Jigaboo who ever set foot in front of a camera.
'Fuck's the Deal?

[wa ching]

Watch out for that one in white, she's taller.
"Kill her."

[frogspond]

Fantasy ending to this picture...

Dipshit sneaks up on the athlete and inappropriately touches her, she turns around and starts to beat the shit out of him. The Secret Service, after suffering with watching this type of behavior for the last 8 years, intercedes only by politely asking the athlete to "please stop hurting the President."

*Sigh* A girl can dream.

Seriously, wtf is he DOING?

[pansypoo]

i mean it, not like anyone hasn't had 8 years to get a clue about this entire monstrosity ..
these women should have left chimpy's diseased presence reflexively

what made them not do that

[Elspeth Ravenwind]

Probably the Secret Service types w/their automatic weapons.

Quit dissing the athletes - they have nowhere to go! Jeebus. They probably didn't even get notice that dumbass was going to be there until he was. And probably w/just enough time before a match that they COULDN'T bug out w/o missing the call.

She offered to let him slap her ass. He declined, deciding that it was much more presidential to flick her lower back with his fingertips.

[distributorcap]

he konws it is NO larry craig

[vicki]

These girls had din-din at the White House and invited Chimpy to their match. I quite rooting for their skinny asses when I heard that announcement. Stupid, stupid, girls.

[james]

it'd be nice if the jingoists running the NBC olympic coverage would realize that EVERYBODY HATES GEORGE BUSH and quit showing him on camera fucking around.

[Dr. Wu]

Seriously, what in the world was he doing?

[Ugluks Flea]

Looks like she's showing off her tat, which IIRC is a "V", or roman numeral 5, which apparently was her chosen jersey number in high school and college. If the gasbags on NBC can be believed.

Still... way to stay classy, Mr. President.

[Rene ala Carte]

The volleyball team is doomed. Everything he touches, or even gets close to, turns to shit.

[mr.ed]

Please....just go away and take your 23% with you. We have to clean up.

[Blue Buddha]

Remember, this is the guy who said he would "restore honor and dignity to the White House" after it had been "soiled" by Clinton.

[pansypoo]

i'm sick of them showing the nitwit. keep your attention on the deserving please.

[CL-Oregon Girl]

He's making shadow puppets!

And McCain pimping his wife to the bikers

I guess it's OK if you're a white Republican.

IOKIYAWR

Obama, of course, has to be dignified at all times..you know why. Then he's accused of 'elitism'.

[pseudonymous in nc]

He just doesn't give a shit any more. It's one long vacation with bennies for Preznit Spoilt Bastard.

And yeah, it's one thing for NBC's coverage to be dominated by Wank Volleyball. It's another thing for the frakking preznit to join in.

(He mountain-biked some of the road race course. Shoot me now.)

[Geoduck]

It looks like he's using his hand as shade so he can examine the tattoo.

[Leila Abu-Saba]

Makes Caligula look like a class act.

More of the same from the chimpster.

[anon]

What's more shocking than Bush's playing shadow games is the use of the racist slur "jigaboo" in this forum and yet none of you good liberals and feminists have remarked in any way on that.

Ya know guys, being ironic is not an excuse for racism or sexism.

Us liberals really aren't any better specimen of human than the conservatives we mock. There is a great deal of ignorance and arrogance and rank meanness amongst us.

So go fuck yourselves.

[Sinfonian]

I should have known that this would have been covered already.

Still, it's interesting to see what the spankee's husband had to say about this.

[anon]

Thanks Sinfonian for the link.

So let's recap:
a) it's a volleyball tradition
b) he comes from an athletic background: cheerleader, sports team owner
c) he is invited, not once, but twice, the second time after apparently participating in a bit of the sport
d) he doesn't slap her ass, but with the back of his hand, lightly slaps her tattoo

So the guy is a war mongering bastard that has needlessly kill hundreds of thousands of people, but

How on earth does this incident show he is a pig?

Does the woman involved not have a brain? Can she not be a consenting adult? Does she not have agency? Does she not understand the context?

Why do YOU demean women to insist that men should not take their statements and invitations seriously?

Jesus fucking christ, us liberals are supposed to be smart and recognize and celebrate the humanity in all of us.

The President is plenty douchebaggy, there is no reason for assholes like you to go off on him for crimes we know he didn't commit. In fact, it just makes us all appear to be fucktards, and I resent that.

Tuck in your shirt! You're the President.

No wonder people don't take their hat off for him anymore.

[J. A. Baker]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you President Johnny Bravo.

[anon]

Sigh, you can delete comments like any common pinhead admin, but you're still leaving "jigaboo", a racist slur, up there.

I guess that shows you approve of that use.

You're such a fucking tool.

[ollie]

Ok, in this case I am just green with envy that Misty May didn't ask me to swat her on the butt. :)

[pissed off patricia]

She showed him her tattoo and he touched it for good luck. At least that's the way they explained it on tv.

That picture is disgusting in a whole new bunch of ways. I hate to even imagine what McCain would do in that situation.

[Jason]

Not that this excuses the Chimp-in-Chief at all, but the volleyball team requested that he give them a good luck swat on the ass, so the one teammate turned around (thus the picture) and he used the backside of his hand to hit the small of her back - just to ensure there was no doubt that he did not touch her ass with his open hand.

But much like his "chest-thump" with AF cadets, it's amazing that both the subjects and the president have no concept of presidential dignity. There are things that the President does not do, that is, unless he graduated with a C-average from college and used to be a heavy party-hound.

[Duros Hussein 62]

Looks like she's showing off her tat, which IIRC is a "V", or roman numeral 5, which apparently was her chosen jersey number in high school and college. If the gasbags on NBC can be believed.

Whatever, it's still a tramp stamp.

Is he autographing her ass?

[MH]

too bad she wasn't wearing her "I'm with stupid" shirt.

Hey anon.
Shut the fuck up, Nigger!!
