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.

[ApesForEvolution]

The fact they were playing rugby at Yale in the 60's is refreshing. I guess what they say 'bout W is true...mess with the bull, get the horns...

PS We know that isn't JFnK getting clobbered...he was in Cambodia on a double-secret fraternal meeting with his CIA and SOFs buddies...gomer.

George W. Bush shown here stealing little suzy Lou who's jump rope...abviously showing an early behavior of his disdain for children and miniorities.

[Remington Rebel]

George W. Bush is a Texan NOT a damn FRENCHMAN rugby player! DUBBYA will knock the snot out of ya! :) just saddam :)

[devolve]

Kerry also hogged the puck; a selfish non-team player.

Kerry has played in adult senior hockey and has been warned many times for abusive blind-side hits.

Told to straighten up or he is history no matter how much money mommy has.

[jnarcus]

Too funny he is merely giving a head high tackle to the ball carrier...What's wrong with that? Nothing..and anyone who thinks that rugby has "nice" rules is delusional....obviously has never been involved in a scrum

[vikzilla]

So? My dad would sometimes spit in the earhole of his opponents helmet

BAHAHAHA! I think I like your Dad already.

[TheMole]

Agree with you guys. The school paper simply added a funny caption to a picture of Bush trying to bring the guy down. It's kind of astonishing that yours are the only comments to that effect.

OTOH, the other posters are completely correct that liberals are pathetic.

[Rifleman]

Not to mention my favorite, "It takes leather balls to play rugby."

I like W even better now that I know he was a rugger.

[ovrtaxt]

HAHAH!! At least it wasn't *shudder* dodgeball!

[ovrtaxt]

I saw a bumper sticker that read "You have to have leather balls to play rugby."

I saw one that said "support Motorcycle racing. The other sports only require one ball."

[bad company]

Well there goes the girlie man vote.

[smith288]

You mean they play rough in rugby???

[roaddog727]

"Rugby is a little like hockey or lacrosse, fouls are expected as long the ref doesn't see them."

Bingo!

Key rule of all contact sports: Don't get caught.....

[SeeRushToldU_So]

I loved it when Nolan took him to school that night.

[Cuttnhorse]

"That's my president! Perhaps he can be recruited for the Springboks at the last minute. They've been a bit dispirited lately *LOL*"

LOL! Or my beloved All Blacks...I see they lost to the Wallabys in the Tri-Nations.

[baseballmom]

Whoever is posting the Dose tonight might want to include this pic.

Our W is definitely not a GIRLY MAN! LOL

[Recovering Hermit]

Looks more like a nose-tweak to me.

Nyuk, nyuk.

[Former Proud Canadian]

The Brits used to say that WW I was won on the playing fields of Eton. I guess this means that WW III (or IV) was won on the playing fields of Yale. Sounds okay to me.

[Milligan]

Rugby is a rough, rough game. You think hockey players are scarred up! Rugby players have broken noses, split ears and scars everywhere! Bush=rugby player=cheering squad????

[Vinnie]

This is a positive for the President.
Exactly the kind of person we need fighting the terrorists.
