Desperation...

How desperate are the Democrats when confronted with Kerry's possible lying nuance about Cambodia? Enough so to run this picture from the Yale yearbook showing Bush playing Rugby:

Our intrepid partisan then notes:

As long as we're re-examining the 1960s, looking for signs of character, trying to decide if a man who volunteered for combat and was decorated five times was more or less courageous than a guy who didn't even show up for his own medical exam... here's George W. Bush during his college days, hitting a fellow sportsman in the face.

Bwahahaha. Sorry. I am laughing too hard to type.

IMOHO, that shot does NOT look like W as a kid in college. Second, I doubt he would have behaved in that manner.

Come on. Don't spoil it. I want a President who's all out of bubblegum, namsayn?

I think that the Yale headline is being humorous. It doesn't look like Bush is throwing a punch--it looks like he's throwing himself 100% into trying to get a guy that's 30-lb heavier than him on the ground. W. is going left, full blast. The ball carrier is tugging strongly right. Frankly, Bush would be guilty of an inadvertant "facemask penalty" if they had facemasks.

Compared to Kerry's girly throws and general clumsiness, if they want to give Bush this free publicity, it's only going to help our cause. And it does show true desperation of their part.

So Bobby's bitching about an illegal rugby play?

It's SPORTS, and contact sports to boot! These things happen.

Walk it off, son.

"I've watched rugby avidly for years, and I've never seen it during an open-field tackle like this, honest --"

You must not be following this years Tri-nations tests. To say play so far has been colorful is an understatement!

I'm with you. In retrospect, I think W would beat the shiite out of some bastard who plays dirty. He certainly seems to be doing it with the trowel-heads. Thank God!

"Is the other guy wearing a jock strap on his head?"

Maybe it's bikini undies from Abu Ghraib.

They seem to think everyone loves prissy, girly-men who have their butlers dress them in the morning and carry around their snacks for them.

I hooked when I went to Carleton in the early 80's. (Easy now you rugby challenged people-, that is the name for the face off guy in the scrum)

Just a couple of hints of how the game was played.

head butt when you came together
kick at the ankles if you lost the ball
On a throw in, throwing the ball at the opposing #1's south side always sent a message

Someone steps on you in a ruck blindside his ass at the first opportunity
I played in a game when I was out of school in an adult league, and I remember someone biting my hand. Needless to say, my fist making contact with his head corrected the problem. You took and you gave...Then you drank and drank copiously

Rugby is a contact sport where you take it as far as you can. You expect to be hit and you hit. Then you drink with the same people that you were trying to kick the crap out of during the game(like a fish). Very simple game. Gives you an idea why the Brits are as peculiar as they are :-)

Next they are going to say after a rugby game, W (gasp) drank a beer and sang a politically incorrect phrases to a rugby song (gasp)!!!!

A little hockey advice for Jf'n K --KEEP YOUR HEAD UP SWEETIE PIE!!!

122 CES can do will do

And the point of the liberal pussies showing this picture????

This Kerry campaign group is acting like a bunch of high schoolers. It's just incredible the stuff they think is important. They aren't dealing with the possibility of a terror attack .. instead they're worried about GW socking somebody in the face .. pitiful!!

The L.A. Weekly said Bob might be "Noam Chomsky's younger brother."




That esplains it.

He dared to play tough and scuffle with an opponent? Disgraceful! Beyond pale! Remove him from the Hall of Fame! </sarcasm>

And the point of the liberal pussies showing this picture???? The same point that they were trying to make by telling the world that Cheney said the F word. They don't understand that most men like men to be real men and women do too :-}
