DUBYA and a pair of binoculars

toby400 · Nov 9, 2002

In the UK......todays copy of the "Daily Mail" newspaper shows a picture of Bush trying to look through a pair of binoculars with the lens protectors STILL IN PLACE.

A second picture shows a red faced Bush looking through the same binoculars after a security man had removed the lens protectors for him.

At least GW knows how to hold them. If it was Clinton he'd be looking through the objectives, never having the experience of been close to military apparatus in the first place.

Oh, c'mon! It could happen to anybody.
GW is cool. I watched his press conference on Friday - he's got a good sence of humor.

Is that photo from when he visited South Korea, and was taking a look at the DMZ and North Korea?

I suspect that:

Judging by the distance of the binoculars from his eyes

The angle of his head

And the only piece of sunlight being right under his eye

That this photo was doctored.

But it is just one more example of why the internet is so useful and entertaining. There was a pic I got a week or so ago of Bush reading a book with a child, and Bush had the book upsidedown.

Of course this photo was cooked as well. Look at the black label on girl's book and compare with the one on GW's. Also look at the picture on the back of the cover - see how close to the edge it is on GW's book and how far on girl's book.
