  • Is the guy in the bottom pic actually leaning away from the revolver? Odd.

    Bush Sr. is handling the firearm properly: finger off trigger, chamber open. Very safe. Very appropriate. I can only imaging how the current Commander Guy would flippantly handle a firearm in public...

  • It just seemed a very odd pair of pictures.

    (And, yeah, the guy is definitely leaning away.)

  • I think it's that disheveled, slightly disoriented look that gives these pictures their power.
