As a matter of fact from a photographer's point of angle that's one hell of shot! It is 1/100,000+ that one can get that kind of shot...period!...not to mention the message!

[Ginifer]

I have to admit it...it did make me smile. But for those of you who are outraged:

I agree. The chances of even being in a position to get that shot are as high as you state!

Given the odds, I think it's quite humorous.

It was the photographers that took pictures of A.G. Ashcroft during press conferences with the exposed breast of the statue behind over his head that got annoying after a while. That was the real reason he covered the statue, not because it was improper.

The elite media think they are smarter than the rest of us and that there will be no backlash against them personally.

"After the election, I'm going to Disneyland."

(Grumble, grumble. If you have to explain it . . . it's like at the end of the Super Bowl, the winning team's quaterback is asked, "What are going to do now?" and he answers, "I'm going to Disneyland." See, it's the winner that goes to Disneyland. You happy now, that I had to explain it to you?????)

There must be some Viagra in the hairspray.

What does it look like W with Mickey Mouse ears?

[Twinkie]

In the photo where he is clearing trees, he is really dirty, with real dirt on his arms and a Purple Heart Award worthy scrape on his left elbow . . .

[Lurking in Kansas]

Nothing "subliminal" about it. Very obvious.

Algore invented snippy, you know.

[knuthom]

Better a mouse than a RAT.

[beyond the sea]

This is to get even for the bunny suit

They're going to have to do better than that.

[killjoy]

Any "real" photographer would toss this shot. This is obviously someone with an axe to grind. "Oh, look what I did! Bush has Mickey Mouse ears! Aren't I clever?"

True, but it is funny.

[ladyinred]

I agree, in spite of this attempt at making Bush look silly, the pic is just great!

[RebelTex]

Looks like 2 guardian angels to me.

God Bless President Bush.

[jonsie]

Thank you, I agree, George W. Bush has my heart.

[Just mythoughts]

"I agree, in spite of this attempt at making Bush look silly, the pic is just great!"


We should send the photographer a huge thank you for taking such a grand picture of the President.... not exactly what he/she will be expecting..

[lilylangtree]

Looking on the positive side, Mickey Mouse is a toon that's a household word. Everyone loves Mickey. The Pres is a great guy.
