BREAKING: Anti-American Refuses to Put Hand Over Heart

Sorry for the short diary, guys, but I just discovered some disturbing information about a would-be president that I thought should be shared with as many people as possible.  I'm very concerned and after you see these pictures, you will be too.

It appears that a privileged, Ivy-League, New Englander is only pretending to be a True Texan™.

Asked to comment, the would-be president's wife told reporters, "for the first time in my adult life, I'm really proud of my left breast."

Shockingly, it appears that this is not a new occurrence.  Journalists have discovered that a long family history exists of the Hand-Over-Heart-During-Pledge-Avoidance-Syndrome.

I don't know about you guys, but I am scared.  What will happen if this fake Texan with a long-standing family history of anti-Americanism gets in office?

Please forward this to as many people as you know.  I'm truly concerned and we need to get the word out.

•  Let's stop this anti-American traitor!

  •  What an odd photo.

    You've got W holding his tummy as if he is hungry.
    You've got a man standing behind him on the very of a heart attack.
    You've got a girl hugging her heart.
    You've got another girl who appears to have heartburn.
    And then you have Laura doing a self exam.

      •  Maybe he has a tummy ache?

    •  no, he's holding his jacket closed

      maybe he lost a button?

    •  Yeah ... I also noticed one fellow Republican ...

      Checking out GW's backside.

        Bulge is on the back of his jacket (ah! Debate memories...).

•  Good find.

  Once the GE starts, the DNC can used this against the RNC as soon as they make an issue of Obama not doing the same.

•  Hand over heart avoidance syndrome

  When I first got the email of the pic with Obama not putting his hand over his heart, my wife said something foolish like how could you vote for this guy.  I told her it didn't matter and that I was sure he was a patriot.  It was amazing to me how many right wing friends of mine referenced that pic.  I think I can fire back with this and the caution included in this diary.  Nice job, it just shows how silly the political game can be.

  •  Tell your friends that if he was a real American

    he'd be holding his beer during the National Anthem.

    I'm also amazed that people get the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance mixed up.

    •  the pledge is easier

      no high notes

    •  You are on FIRE...

      this morning, Yoshimi.

•  GW's hand IS over his heart.

  One must remember that he has a rare physical condition. His body parts are in different places than a normal person.

  Take his ass being firmly planted on his shoulders for an example of this condition.

  •  That one made me smile.

    by DrSpalding on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:11:06 AM PDT

  •  Does that explain why he keeps talking s**t?

    I am so ashamed of myself.  I never realized that Bushes internal organs are inverted, a rare affliction that should give us all enormous sympathy.  That I did not give him credit for the degree to which he has been able to somewhat function, despite this terrible disability, makes me so sorry for the terrible things I said.  But it does raise an obvious question...  where exactly is his brain? Is it really in his tush, as some have suggested?

    •  He longer has one ...

      Karl Rove left the white house.

  •  He has a heart?

    News to me.

  •  I didn't see his hand over his ass

    in that picture?

    •  That's where George senior placed his ...

•  what's the big deal?

  So Bush doesn't know the exact location of certain body parts. Do you expect him to know everything? Maybe we just have unrealistic expectations.

  photoshop the hat & you'll see it immediately.

•  Sorry, but

  I just stole your diary to send to all of the anti-Obama people who are on my email list...the worst of which just emailed me the "Obama is an undercover Muslim" email not even 2 days ago...

•  He was just adjusting his package

  He only slid his down there for a second.

•  IMHO, Mr. G.W. Bush Was Doing Something I Do

  He noticed his zip-zip was down so he tried to do the quick snap-down and zip-up trick.  I am an expert at this wardrobe malfunction as it seems to happen to me once a week.

•  Bush is holding his stomach

  in a futile attempt to keep the alien inside from popping out.

  by JCAinCLE on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:48:39 AM PDT

  •  Oh, I thought...

    ...that was the alien and he was trying to hold Bush down.

    by Grant Caesar Peters on Sat Mar 01, 2008 at 10:58:37 AM PDT

•  Obama better start putting his hand over his...

  ...heart, lest he be lumped in with this criminal group!

•  He's getting ready to really scream the pledge

  for all his patriotic worth, so he needs to brace his diaphragm! Cut the super patriot some slack!
