    W's the powerful guy in the room, who's about as funny as lung cancer . . . and doesn't know it.
    The syncophants will pat him on the shoulder.   Many others, brought up to be courteous,
    will simply look for the exits.

    This guy is an adolescent, not a President. He fell and busted his head on a coffee table, and wrecked his bicycle in Denmark... not to mention the whole Iraq thing.

    Thanks for the pick-me-upper, FB.

    Yeah, I know. I have $3200 already ... I need $800.

    Actually I don't. I can't believe it's still that much. :eek:

    If you say it's worth it I may have to look (ha-ha) into it, although as a recovering diabetic I don't know if Lasik is possible.

    It wasn't an illness. He fucked his cornea up when it accidentally met a fork.

    Idle speculation here, but I'm pretty sure the dude wouldn't have been wearing a flash pair of Raybans. I'm guessing he was wearing those midnight goggles that old folks wear after cataracts surgery, in which case, Bushie might have guessed that they weren't a fashion statement.

    It's not the comfortable wheelchair, but it's not far off.

    "You look mighty comfortable"  and teasing a blind guy are Bush classics, but to me, the best one still is when he waved at Stevie Wonder.
    George Bush doesn't care about blind people indeeed.
     


  9. That's Bingo right there.
    It was stupid, fratboy joking -- at best.
    I look in vain for people who have made Wallstein the butt of any jokes.
    Although the pretense of giving a damn is always entertaining in some folks.
     
  10. Wallstein was the subject of a thread on FARK, was highlighted last night on The Daily Show and was the subject of numerous threads on lefty blogs.

    He now forever will be remembered as "that blind guy Bush made fun of" not for the content or quality of his reporting.

    People like you trample on people like Wallstein just to try to take a poke at Bush. Nice going. What did Wallstein ever do to you?

    One of the all time great NFL receivers - Wesley Walker was "legally" blind
