Another "scandal of the moment?" (McAuliffe wipes his feet on Bush doormat...)

Robert writes in with a question: "Why has there been no flack regarding the tour Judy Woodruff took with Terry McAuliffe yesterday afternoon of the new DNC Headquarters? Before entering his office the camera panned down to get a closeup of his doormat which has a picture of President Bush. McAuliffe made a point of wiping his shoes across the picture of Bush and laughed like it was very funny and not a bit disrespectful. It was stunning.

Ms. Woodruff caught her breath and walked around the mat so as not to step on the president's face." Hmm...is it enough to be a "scandal of the moment?" 11:10:38 AM

[Piranha]

Just awful. Like Saddam putting a mosaic of President Bush 41 at the entrance of the al-Rashid Hotel in Baghdad so that all guests had to walk on it in order to enter.

[Mr. Mojo]

Ms. Woodruff caught her breath and walked around the mat so as not to step on the president's face.

Impressive, Judy. .....serious discipline on her part.

[Jewels1091]

Would there be a freeze frame of this on CNN?? Anyone know how to go in and look then post it???

[veronica]

Rush just mentioned this story. Maybe a CNN clip will pop up now.

[Williams]

I thought this was a joke post. What a bunch of foul hateful scumbags. The Dems are a dirty corrupt bunch, what a disgrace it will be if McAuliffe and his ilk have free use of our government.

[finnman69]

So the RATS have learnd from Saddam Hussein. Typical...

A worker polishes the mosaic of a grimacing George Bush at the Al Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad. U.N. sanctions were imposed on Iraq eight years ago, when Bush was president and fresh from the Allied victory over Iraq in the Gulf War.

[Finalapproach29er]

I'm stunned.

[mountaineer]

What a vile man McAwful is, as is his puppetmaster.

The party also formally opened a renovated, technology-packed $30 million headquarters that House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called "the temple" for political training, fundraising and the crafting of positions and strategy. The building features television and radio studios, expanded office space and a massive new 170-million-name computer database named "Demzilla."

It showed off the new tools for state party officials from around the nation. In briefings, the party put out the word that it will refocus its efforts on grass-roots politics, mounting a county-by-county campaign to avoid the kind of loss it suffered four years ago with Gore as its nominee.

Entering McAuliffe's new corner office, which is equipped as a TV studio, visitors walk over a doormat bearing a likeness of President Bush and the words, "Give Bush the Boot."

DEM HEADQUARTERS USES BUSH FACE AS DOORMAT

And Rush just mentioned this.

[Toespi]

Shameful.

[paul51]

juveniles. No wonder the American people won't trust a dim in the white house. They should stick with their frat parties

[Bahbah]

These people are beyond disgusting.

[So Cal Rocket]

The Left Hates Bush... that's all they have to run on in this election.

Remember that thread a few months ago, about Winston Churchill's parrot that used to say "F*** Hitler"?

All you need to know about this election can be summarized by answering these questions:

1. If GWB had a parrot, what would the parrot say? Most likely he would curse Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein.

2. If John Kerry had a parrot, what would the parrot say? Most likely he would curse George W. Bush.

[Gabz]

And they're the ones claiming to be taking the "high road"??????? cut me a break.

This could be the turning part against the libbies. I remember subscribing to Mother Jones. One year I received a ''Ronald Reagon'' floor mat. (actually it was a small towel with Reagon's face on it.)
I thought it was tacky and soon started my journey from being a liberal to thinking form myself and becomming a conservative.

[BlueAngel]

What a hateful, POS this creature is. When is he going to get his?

[Constantine XIII]

Wow, W's daddy looks pretty fierce there. I sure wouldn't want to mess with him!

[linn37]

Lmao thats ignorant ,does terry run his little toy trucks over it too?

[Mr. Mojo]

The DNC and Ba'athist Iraq were alike in so many ways (besides having identical taste in doormats):

- buddies with the French.

- despise Bush.

- election cheaters.

- want Israel to concede land to terrorists.

[broadsword]

What a class act the Democraps are! How mature and respctable! How presidential and diplomatic! (gag!)

[Area51]

Isn't it about time to photoshop McAufful's picture on a Urnal.

[CFC__VRWC]

Ms. Woodruff caught her breath and walked around the mat so as not to step on the president's face.

That's actually more than I would have expected from her. Of course, now she'll probably use that as an example of how "impartial" she is -

"Hey, I didn't step on the so-called President's face!"

[Dog]

Is that it?

[madrastex]

Can you even imagine the uproar if the GOP had pulled a stupid stunt like this with, say Hitlery's face, on it?!!

[taxesareforever]

I do believe that there are countries that people who hold ideals such as McAuliffe maintain would welcome them with open arms. However, if he were to put a welcome mat with their premier or president's face on it he would be the one looking up from a prone position. No, he wouldn't be looking up, he would be facing up, lifeless. They should be thankful that they live in a country that allows an individual to state an opinion. This action by Terry and the DNC is despicable and so does not qualify as an opinion, unless you would say an opinion by a jackass.

[inkling]

When I saw this on Drudge, Saddam International's tilework was the first thing that came to mind. Thanks for posting!

McAuliffe & Saddam: Small Minds Think Alike.

[Dog]

OK who has the phone number to the DNC HQ in DC....

Lets go people time to light up the switchboard.

[ericthecurdog]

Actually...

[HarryCaul]

What I want to know is why the Democrats have a database with 170 million names in it. What was there source?

There aren't 170 million Democrats in the country. I wonder if there are even 170 million registered voters?

What's in that database? What purpose does it serve?

Privacy minded reporters should find out.

[veronica]

If you were casting a movie and looking for the most slippery, low-rent, low-class, yahoo type to play the cliche used car salesman, McAuliffe would be the guy you'd pick.

[ericthecurdog]

Or more simply stated...

[petercooper]

I detest all these liberal scumbags, especially mcawful

[sarasota]

We have too much class for such silliness. This type of stunt says "middle school mentality".

[kallisti]

lol. i subscribed to the mag in the 80s and got the same thing. i framed mine.

[HarryCaul]

Hmm. Well, some quick googling shows there probably are around 170 million registered voters in the US, more or less. So the Dems have a massive database that has ALL registered voters in it.

Interesting.

[isthisnickcool]

How do you think they generated the "butterfly ballot" bogus controversy so fast? They had a list of people to contact that would say what the Democrats told them.

The database is probably another VIN GUPTA job....

[finnman69]

I imagine Terry was a major bully to his other classmates from 3rd to the 9th grade.

[Arrowhead1952]

Typical rat behavior.

[Billthedrill]

No surprises here - they were superannuated frat boys during the Clinton administration and they haven't reached puberty yet.

[Rollee]

I saw a picture of a door mat that had hillary's ugly face on it with instructions to "please wipe feet liberally". Unfortunately, I could not find a source for purchase. I'd love one of those for my doorway.

[snickeroon]

Isn't this the same bunch who has played "ring around the rosie" with the a.m. talking reds on morning shows about "how disgraceful that the president has the utter gall to make a joke about the weapons of mass destruction...." (GEE.... Pres. Bush makes a joke IN the oval office, their pick made a joke OF it on a daily basis).

ANYWAY, same bunch, right???? It's disgraceful for Mr. Bush to show some self-deprecating humor in a news clip.... but just FINE to step on the face of a sitting president while showing off their latest toys?

Damn them!!! I don't even get the choice (as mad as I have been over several rino-like decisions) to refuse to vote in this election. Obviously a failure to vote this time around is giving these sniveling, self-serving jerk-offs a chance to think they have tacit approval to continue to carry us down the drain at warp speed. How did we get to the point where these jokers are taken seriously on ANY level, up to and most importantly including allegiance to the nation they live in. If they can't have any respect for the TRADITION....could they PLEASE get some come-uppance for having no respect for AMERICANS!!!!

[glennherman]

This kind of childishness will insure a Bush landslide. Keep on going stupid little children...

[wolf24]

"McAuliffe made a point of wiping his shoes across the picture of Bush and laughed like it was very funny and not a bit disrespectful."

Classy.

[lilylangtree]

Yo Terry "T*rd" McAuliffe, when are you going to be prosecuted for your illegal insider trading on the now bankrupt Global Crossing whereby you made $18 million?

[KingPin]

No wonder the LibDem Rats are so against Iraq. We took out their staunch ally.
