Picture of the Day - 3


Several car bombs are discovered in London. There's a concern that there might be a broader threat to the US, and the President goes fishing.

  • It is interesting how little of this side of Bush's life that we see. At first, I thought this WAS his catch!

  • Especially since his ridiculous comment that catching a fish was the greatest moment of his presidency.

    And, I have another fishing photo for tomorrow at 9 AM.

  • at least he has his usa t-shirt on. surely thats all the depth, commitment and seriousness you need?

  • Hey - at least he's not drinking.

    But, I think the chances of the London car bomb plot having an American component are very unlikely. This seems to have been done by locals (and perhaps amateurs - the bombs did not detonate after two attempts, they were being detonated by cell phone rather than by hand/suicide bomber, and the bombers were traced by the cell phone numbers.)

  • Michael, It's a USA track and field shirt. Probably a gift from one of the many White House hostings.

    Reality, I agree that there's little probability of a US link for the exact same reasons, but we went into war on the 1% doctrine, seems like maybe he shouldn't be fishing, you know?

  • I thought he was supposed to be shopping to beat the terrorists.
