Vanity: BUSH SHOULD NOW BE KNOWN AS 44 + I'M DEEPLY THRILLED THIS FACE IS GONE

11-17-04

[STARWISE]

Bush won .. 44 is the NEW number .. we don't have to listen Daschle whine again, and ain't it a kick??

God Bless America, President Bush, Vice President Cheney, all our leaders, the Republic campaigners who worked SO hard, and ESPECIALLY our unbelievably brave troops!

Pray pray pray .. and just a little gloat every now and then to realize how incredible this victory was. Thank you, God.

[STARWISE]

Buh-bye

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Ummm, where do you get 44 from?

[Notforprophet]

Actually he is still 43. The number does not change if a POTUS is re-elected. Thus Clinton was 42 even though he was elected twice, Reagan 40, etc.

[counterpunch]

The only President who gets two numbers is Grover Cleveland, since his two terms were not consecutive. Cleveland was #22 and #24.

[nuffsenuff]

44?

[Quilla]

George H.W. Bush was our 41st president, Clinton was X42 while serving two terms. I believe President George W. Bush will remain our 43rd President.

[OwnershipSociety]

I thought clin-toon was 69.

???

[GraniteStateConservative]

Not only a vanity, but one that makes no sense. A two-fer!

[Izzy Dunne]

Hello?
He is still the 43rd person to be president.

[Future Snake Eater]

This is probably one of the more non-sequitur posts I've ever seen...

[gridlock]

Maybe STARWISE is of the opinion that Albert Armand Gore was our President from 2001-2005...

[Gumdrop]

If we allow him to be called "44", are we subconsciously acknowleging Gore as the real "43"? I think we ought to resist this.

[krb]

He is actually the 42nd person to be president.

[You Dirty Rats]

Maybe you meant that 44 is how many 'Rat Senators are left. (Jeffords is a different kind of rodent).

[My2Cents]

It's only "44" if one is inclined to believe the myth that AlGore was actually "43".

[My2Cents]

(Jeffords is a different kind of rodent).

What do you expect, being from a state known for its sap.

Clinton: (money shot on a bed roll for blow)

[Aeronaut]

Anybody elses bebers get stuned by this?

[zbigreddogz]

I believe he is speaking of the number of Democratic Senators come late January 2005.

[Izzy Dunne]

Correct - Grover Cleveland was different.
I should have said he's the 43rd change of presidents, which is really what they count.

[Quilla]

Speaking of Armand:

OK, I promise, that's the last time I post this picture.

[STARWISE]

No way!!! What a goofball I am .. LOL ..

I thought the number changed with the presidency ... I HAVE EGG ALL OVER MY FACE AND I APOLOGIZE!

........so much for the delusion that I was having an original thought ;-) .. let the flames begin.

[mystery-ak]

I hope some freepers can help me find some info.....Im looking for info re what/and how a sitting president pays for meals for his family and guests at the White House.....anyone know where I can find this?

[Izzy Dunne]

I believe he is speaking of the number of Democratic Senators come late January 2005.

Then why should Bush "be known as" that number ??

[STARWISE]

I've ordered medication ... please be gentle with me
;-(

[STARWISE]

It's just that I've always liked round numbers.

[You Dirty Rats]

You are a very sick puppy.

[CSM43]

" I thought the number changed with the presidency ... I HAVE EGG ALL OVER MY FACE AND I APOLOGIZE!"

Is that you, Carville?

[Quilla]

I heard someone call in on either Rush or Boortz about this just a little while ago. I have no idea if this is true; however,I find it hard to believe the Clinton's paid for a single meal.

[EggsAckley]

I'm a perfect "44."

Little Tommy Dasshole,
He really is a twit.
Got booted from his senate seat,
He won't be missed a bit.
I'm laughing as he waves goodbye,
So happy he is gone.
George Bush has some capital.
Now Tommy needs a loan.
Tommy can you see them,
They did not vote for you.
Tommy can you hear them,
They could not support you.
Ohoh, oh, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

Early January. The new Congress is seated on the third of Jan. Thanks, BTW.

A two-fer for your beeber.

[zbigreddogz]

Because he caused it. It's kinda like wearing a shrunkin head or something.

[Quilla]

Agreed. One sick puppy that's been laughing hysterically since I ran across the photo yesterday.

[zbigreddogz]

Ah yes, you are right. I was thinking about the president.

[NCC-1701]

What's clinochio looking at?

[unspun]

Great scrut. Is that the TV preacher in L.A. who smokes cigars on the air and has the young babe for a wife -- often shown walking together along the beach, she in a little bikini?

[lormand]

check it out

[Izzy Dunne]

Yeah, whatever. Occam's razor says it's more likely a screw-up.

[Killborn]

All meals are free except for takeout, restaurants, and snacks/junk food that the staff of the White House does not provide.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Ping

[counterpunch]

Presidents get a $50,000 a year expense account on top of their salary. Perhaps meals and such things come out of that.

[Polyxene]

A Loon and a Toon!! )))))))))))SHUDDER((((((((((((

[jp3]

MY EYES!!!!!!!!!

[Physicist]

George W. Bush is President #44. People often forget that David Rice Atchison was President of the United States.

[STARWISE]

Aaah .. thanks. It's depressingly gray and gloomy today in Chicago . I needed a laugh.

[Ruth A.]

He's checking out Horndog Gore. Put a cup on it, Al.
