Bush anchored at sea.
By on Jul 1st, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Bush anchored at sea.
The AP writes: “President Bush’s presidency is stuck in low gear. On Sunday, his fishing boat was stuck on stop.”
The Secret Service bailed Bush out of a jam when his boat anchor got wedged in rocks along the Atlantic Coast.
Relaxing before his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the president went fishing with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and daughter, Barbara.
They dropped the anchor to fish less than 100 feet from shore at Biddleford, Maine, but when they decided to leave, they couldn’t, according to an Associated Press photographer who took pictures of the incident.

Verification of my #60 on the “Putin Arrives” thread. Dubbers!!
July 1st, 2007 at 4:47 pmDamn, he caught a nice one there in picture 9.
July 1st, 2007 at 4:49 pm#2: That’s his daughter, sir.
July 1st, 2007 at 4:55 pmTypical. One guy working, and two guys watching.
July 1st, 2007 at 4:55 pmHe drives his boat like he runs this country! Guess being an AWOL ANG Draft dodger doesn’t qualify him to drive a boat.

You just pissed off every true fishermen on here!! Unfortunately she doesn’t look like a fish, Not Jenna looks more like her Dad.
July 1st, 2007 at 5:00 pmIt’s a metaphor.
July 1st, 2007 at 5:02 pmThe whole family, including the guide, is dumb as a rock. The solution is to move directly over the anchor, tie the anchor line to a forward cleat, and back the boat in the opposite direction as the anchor was set. Guaranteed to work every time (occasionally the weakest part of the anchor system, usually the pin holding the chain to the anchor, will break losing the anchor but that is better than sitting there all night). On second thought I hope they don’t read this, Fox would love a remake of “Gilligan’s Island” even though King George the Dumb would make the whole Gilligan crew look like geniuses.

Doh, sorry. Pic 7 was the proper one.
July 1st, 2007 at 5:05 pmPhoto 3 definitely cries out for a caption contest.
“‘Heckuva job, Billy’”
“Q: How many Bushes does it take to unstick an anchor? A: We’re looking at candidates for Anchor Czar next week.”
“We should know by September whether pulling on this rope is working.”
July 1st, 2007 at 5:05 pmCut the anchor rope and run. Daylight is waining and a storm is brewing.

There was a comedian (sorry, can’t remember his name) who did a bit about how one can sing the “Gilligan’s Island” theme song to the tempo of “Amazing Grace”, and vice versa. Try it, it’s hysterical.

Okay, now that you started it, though, you at least have to give me the punchline. I’ll bite: “No, when?”

July 1st, 2007 at 5:21 pmLooking at that picture of the man pulling the rope I wonder………. was he trying to pull the anchor up or had he just had enough and was trying to pull the boat down?

WTF?
July 1st, 2007 at 5:25 pm“Anchored at sea” would be a perfectly apt description of Bush’s Presidency! Of course, perhaps it could also extend well beyond these past 6 years and become the “snapshot” of his life in general as it appears that he’s always been quite significantly out of touch with the reality around him……atsea, indeed!

Comment by Kevin Good — July 1, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
Kevin, that works if your family’sa net worth is less then $2 million. Do you realize what 25′ of Nylon rope plus an anchor cost? The Bushies believe that the expense would drain their wealth to a mere pittance. Better to let the American taxpayers spend a Mil or so in order to save them a couple hundred bucks.
July 1st, 2007 at 5:32 pmMaybe this is actually the Titanic, and Cap’n Dubya is still denying there are any icebergs out there.
Outside of Ford, there has never has been a US President that is as much fun to watch with the buffoonery of his actions. He even makes tricky dick and Ronnie Raygunz seem almost normal!

Years ago, there was a rock band in the SF Bay Area named Little Roger and the Goosebumps. They once did a parody of the “Gilligan’s Island†theme song. They took the words and crossed them w/ the chords and melody of “Stairway To Heaven”. Not surprisingly, Zep didn’t approve of this and sued. Alas, Li’l Roger was forced to round up every copy he could find and destroy these blasphemous discs.
I have never heard this recording but have been told by people who did that it was hilarous.

July 1st, 2007 at 5:57 pmWhat killed me (besides the fact that the worthless, lazy bum was watching while soomebody else did the work) was that they anchored 100 feet offshore. I’m not familiar with the area, but can fish (besides maybe Flounders or Crabs) be CAUGHT that close? Gave me a chuckle.

There is definitely a story here. Do tell? I admit a little coastal snobishness but Old Orchard is a little Honkey Tonk for me though I have my memories of times there and Hampton NH as well. I thought the woman who wrote “Nickelled and Dimed” had made her case long before suffering an off season there. Overall the Maine coast has been very very good to me.
July 1st, 2007 at 6:13 pmIn fact I often regret that youth and love lost took me away from there.
Is there anything this spoiled brat can do for himself? I doubt it. I would like to see the momma’s boy in a foxhole. His own platoon would probably shoot him just to stop the whimpering.

Only “a little Honkey Tonk”? :D Actually, that story is pretty boring (compared to some of the adventures my friend and I had in Maine!) All I remember is being in a very loud bar, noticing a bit more “smoke” than before, then hearing a commotion as the Maine National Guard came in. I never really found out why, but it may have had to do with a large group of bikers there, nothing to do with my friend and I. For once! ;-)
July 1st, 2007 at 6:25 pmLol if not for the Secret Service, then Bush would have been stuck out at sea and he probably does not know how to swim well either.
July 1st, 2007 at 6:32 pm“Soon after, a member of the president’s security detail called divers aboard a Secret Service boat that had been following behind.”
Let’s play then and now, shall we?
Then: Conservatives outraged about the cost to taxpayers of Clinton’s haircut.
Now: Bush goes fishing followed by a second boat with a team of scuba divers! How much do you suppose we, the people, get billed for that?
July 1st, 2007 at 6:38 pmTo bad they rescued him. Good news Putin will eat and run as he knows Bush is a lam lam duck. That’s right both legs aren’t working. Bush has no trust or support in the US, so there’s really nothing he can say to Putin. Putin is laughing at his as he watching the President lose all his power, he most likely remembers those Nixon years too. Talk about history repeating itself. Putin will surely take advantage of the Bush situation just as Bush would do if this happen to Putin. I guess Daddy Bush will be doing some more crying as his son falls out of power. Now no worries President Cheney is still going strong to complete the mission of setting up all branches of the government to change laws and bring back the 50’s.
July 1st, 2007 at 6:38 pmAnd what if the diver got injured trying to get the anchor unsnagged? I bet Bush would not care.

July 1st, 2007 at 7:25 pmThere’s got to be a bad joke in there somewhere about Dubya being Ahab and going after Moby Dick (Cheney)…
July 1st, 2007 at 7:25 pmBush is our nation’s boat anchor.
July 1st, 2007 at 7:26 pmI hear Cheney will only drink his out of a shot glass… better make that a buckshot glass, and a double at that.
Comment by The republic of Stupidity
I bet Cheney could fix some hush puppies to go with the fished. As long as he’s got his shotgun they’ll hush.

I don’t want to hear anymore comments about the comments I make after that one…
(Pssst… I heard he likes to bite their heads off and suck the blood out directly, kinda like fresh squeezed oj…)

Well, we already have the bad joke about Dubya being President…
July 1st, 2007 at 7:29 pmBut reall, two freakin’ Presidents of the United States don’t know how to get an anchor out of the rocks. Got Stupid?
July 1st, 2007 at 7:29 pmThe really funny thing is that they think they’re funny!

Tht’s a really, really, really bad joke, ya know, the kind Dennis Miller is telling these days…

Hmmm, that would give new meaning to the old phrase, Hush money…
“Now give yre old Uncle Dickie the money and HUS UP, or I’ll shoot you in the face…” And geez, that’s to his friend. (The singular tense is not a mistake…)

I remember when he used to be funny with a promising career. Now the best he can do is show up on Fox snooze.

Indeed… it’s hard to tell at this point who’s career is flaming out worse, Miller’s or Bush’s. At least Miller’s bombs don’t get people killed, but they do seem to groan loudly as if in pain.
Perhaps the 2 can team up and form some sort of noveau vaudeville team – “Bush and Miller… the New Kings of Komedy, w/ their very special guest, MC Rove!”

Yeah…..let me know when they’re gonna be in town, and I’ll schedule a colonoscopy, pap smear AND mammogram for that day. :)

While your at it, schedule a colonoscopy for both Bush and Miller too. Jeff Gannon is STILL looking for his wristwatch. And perhaps we just might finally find those pesky WMDs!

July 1st, 2007 at 8:16 pmI mean did you ever see anything as stupid as that MC Rove thing?
I thought someone was going to club him in the head with a chair or something.

Hilarious.
Can you do the MC Rove stomp too?

Holy crap.
Bring lots of CD’s cause on the radio its Country or Gospel all the way.

Do they have freakin’ laser beams? Please say yes
July 1st, 2007 at 9:20 pmIn fairness, you often go in close to shore if you are trying to get fish.
But in fairness, real fishermen don’t put down anchors. They drift and motor. And in even more “fairness”, you don’t put down your anchor in rocks unless you are retahded.
And yeah, compared to the endless fish stories about Clinton, it’s hard to imagine why we aren’t herring more about bailing out the Pres at taxpayer expense.

Comment by dbadass
they don’t need no stinkin’ radar! they just jump into boats and, i hope, the ones in texas have venom! cool things actually… they are in the midwest now…i think they are japanese aliens along the mississippi…
July 1st, 2007 at 9:54 pmThe Bushies are anchored 100 ft from shore! They take a boat with 3 huge engines and only go out 100 ft.! I could stand on shore and cast further than that. Were they scared that they may not be able to find their way back?
July 1st, 2007 at 9:54 pmAll I can say is,
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!
July 1st, 2007 at 9:55 pmHe can’t even set a fu(king anchor without getting the goddamn thing stuck.
Must have been the Iraqi terrerist reef that it caught.
RUC,
If you haven’t already, look at the pictures. Priceless!

July 1st, 2007 at 10:17 pmI suppose that was another 7 lb perch he caught.
July 1st, 2007 at 10:33 pmActually it looks like a mackerel. Maybe.
He casts like a sissy boy. What the hell kind of bait is he casting anyhoo? Looks like some kind of damn minnow…
Why couldn’t it have just sunk?
July 1st, 2007 at 11:21 pmGod hates us all. That’s why.
Looking at that photo of her reeling one in, I do believe Not Jenna is getting Thunder Thighs.

July 1st, 2007 at 11:39 pm“No Modern President Has Experienced Such A Sustained Rejection By The American Public” »
——————————————————————————–
Washington Post | Peter Baker | July 1, 2007 11:26 PM
The reality has been daunting by any account. No modern president has experienced such a sustained rejection by the American public. Bush’s approval rating slipped below 50 percent in Washington Post-ABC News polls in January 2005 and has not topped that level in the 30 months since. The last president mired under 50 percent so long was Harry S. Truman. Even Richard M. Nixon did not fall below 50 percent until April 1973, 16 months before he resigned.

Heh. Always glad to see you, James. Sorry I missed you.
July 2nd, 2007 at 12:33 amHell, I don’t want to see Ken Lay above ground anywhere!
Here it comes. The only way to get them low polls up… a new war. $20 says this story is B.S. … just propaganda to get us behind invading Poland… I mean Iran.
“The Americans say he, along with the Iraqi militia commanders he worked with, has admitted working with Iran’s elite Quds Force special operations unit.”

July 2nd, 2007 at 2:00 amBush anchored at sea is objective and not ironic.
BUSH AT SEA would be more comic and appropriate.
July 2nd, 2007 at 6:30 amGod obviously hates Republics. I’m quite sure the Republics are starting to die like flies. They’re being humiliated and struck down, thrown screaming into the gaping jaws of Mammon.
Just a theory.
