Of Bush, Kerry, and Bush's Necktie

I noticed something last night.

G.W. Bush's necktie was askew. It looked unprofessional. I wondered HOW in the heck that could have happened.

Then during the replay, I saw how it happened. When Kerry greeted Bush, Kerry held on to Bush's hand as Bush was walking away. Bush was forced to awkwardly stretch his torso, dislodging the correct placement of the tie.

I initially thought it was all happenstance. But on further review, I saw that Kerry made a point of adjusting his tie after the handshake, just in case the manuever dislodged his too.

Maybe it was an accident, maybe not. I think not. If anyone has contacts to Bush, please advise them of this possible purposeful action, or at the very least, MAKE SURE BUSH'S TIE IS STRAIGHT. I was focused on the tie, it looked so sloppy.

LOL

To me, his tiredness last night was just an indication that he is doing his job, something that Kerry will never understand.

Exactly! (...to coin a phrase)

BUSH: "Why won't he let go of my hand?"

[T Minus Four]

just for a day before each debate -- he might want to avoid touring such devastation

Even with so much at stake, I don't believe he could make such a calculated move. That's why he is who he is.

Good pictures!

Whew, I thought you'd been kicked off the board, Laz. It would seem that an account by the name of Lazmataz was banned or suspended, and I hadn't seen you around the gun hugger threads lately (and I mean that term with affection, having been known to fondle a firearm or two in my time) -- I thought the Laz Legend was no more for a while there.

[OXENinFLA]

Good night, Kerry WON'T LET GO!

[T Minus Four]

He's probably digging those long, nasty fingernails into Bush's palm. Maybe that's why he has long nails on his right hand.

[OXENinFLA]

I must have had my head down typing last night I missed Kerry doing this......

AND YOU DIDN'T AUTHOR A LONG, TEARFUL MEMORIAL THREAD??!?!?!

I'm coming back from the dead to get you for that.

Oh yeah, it's the old "strong-arm tie-dislocating trick". Straight out of the CIA Manual of Dirty Debating Techniques.

The bastard...

I am a 247-foot tall radiation-enhanced insect that routinely ravages Tokyo, crushing tanks under my massive scaled feet.

But most people keel over ahead of your swath of destruction, presumably from the fragrance of those massively-scaled feet.

And this, Mr. Insect, does not make for dramatic film footage. Work downwind from your intended victims, and you'll be famous.

And straighten that damn tie of yours; it just looks unprofessional.

[KOZ.]

i seriously thought bush was gonna slug him when kerry did that. take another look at the video, bush looks back at him. thought it was funny.

[evets]

Holding! Democrats.

Five yard penalty, after the kickoff.

[Lazamataz]

And straighten that damn tie of yours; it just looks unprofessional.

I blame Kerry.

And the entire Japanese army.

[Lazamataz]

You'll hate me when you scroll down and see I did that joke. :o)

[TASMANIANRED]

Kerry looked like a haggard old cross dresser. He just forgot the dress.

[reflecting]

Kerry's team did a much better job of dressing him than did President Bush's. Bush's suit did not contrast strongly enough with the back ground, allowing him to blend in or fad out. Kerry's deep black suit and red tie was a sharper visual.

I was a bit angry at the President's people for this simple error. They need to go back to the people who managed the visuals for the convention. They were brilliant!

[evets]

Oops.

off-setting penalties?

[Bahbah]

Laz a female, gay! Bwahahahah.
