It was a really strange day for me today.  I was invited to a press
conference and a bite to eat with President Bush.  I was apprehensive to go
at first because of my preconceived dislike for the man and everything he
stands for.  Well, I decided that I would go just for the sake of getting
some pictures of him and saying that I met him.  It was a very interesting
an enlightening day for sure.  We did discuss many things, even the Iraq
war.  He really didn't want to talk about it, but what he said was very
convincing of why we are there.  Though I disagree with the war I
momentarily slipped over to his side.

OK. Back up now.
Problem: Far too contemplative to be credible.

It's a poorly exposed picture of a chimpanzee.  Really original and
intelligent, just what we can expect from "Rita."

 And it's a lot more than we've yet gotten from or can expect from
our resident, the Chimp In Chief.  :)

Ooh, now you've done it!  Stand by for a visit from the Secret Service
and the IRS.

More likely he would be as bored with it as 90% of everybody else.

Hey look! I took a picture of a monkey and said it was a famous
politician! How original. This is the kind of juvenile crap that passes
for political comment these days.

Honestly, all this sort of thing does is destroy the credibility of the
politician's critics. It shows them to be mean-spirited, lacking in
imagination, and incapable of reasoning argument.

Geez, get a life and lighten up.

And what's wrong with having a little "juvenile humor" to offset the tragic
and wasted deaths of 3,300+ of our servicemen?  I agree that we all should
be crying, but who is going to listen or care about those squandered lives?

WOW!  Mean spirited?  Surely you jest?  It's people like you that are so
self-centered and don't give a sh.t about anyone but themselves.  Bush
destroyed his own credibility long ago, it's clueless fools that blindly
support his campaign for death and destruction because they don't have a
personal stake over in Iraq.

I have no objection to a coherent argument against the war. But crap
like what you posted wins the anti-war movement no friends. It just
reinforces the image of being a bunch of smug know-it-alls who actually
cheer when the casualty count rises.

Right!  Like I said earlier, "lighten up and get a life" so you can feel
better about yourself.  I think the only ones "cheering when the casualty
count rises" are the ones that support the war and don't have their family
members or themselves over in Iraq.

The Phelps family ("Most Hated Family in America") certainly cheers
every time an American dies. They are hardly supporters of the war.
