PRUDEN: Obama: Shooting blanks at the pigeons

President Obama has probably put the Secret Service on this one, and the FBI, the CIA and the D.C. cops, too. Who came up with that really dumb idea of putting out an official White House photograph of the president stalking clay pigeons with his shotgun?

Maybe it was the campaign consultant who gave Michael Dukakis a ride in an Abrams tank. (Maggie Thatcher had taken a similar ride two years earlier and looked like George S. Patton.) Or the wizard who decked out John Kerry in a lab suit that gave him the appearance of a giant sperm. The dodo who did that could have been the campaign consultant who advised Jimmy Carter to tell the famous story of how he was attacked by a killer rabbit.

Whoever it was, he or she made it worse by accompanying the photograph with the stern warning that “this [photograph] may not be manipulated in any way.” This was similar to telling a 4-year-old that he should “never try to put a pea up your nose.”

It’s a pic of his choom gun.

O.K. I haven't stopped laughing since Saturday's threads. Please it's late, I can't have the giggles now!

That’s the only logical explanation of the predominance of smoke output.

LOL!

This is the first comment on Pruden’s article:

“No shotgun has produced that much smoke since about 1880.

It is not possible to get smoke of any kind out of only the right side compensator ports.
Obama isn't shooting skeet, now I don't know what he was shooting at, but then neither does he...”

I really hate to say it, but ol’ Dick there probably loses most of those games. He gets flop sweat way too easy.

Beautiful! Priceless! Fine art! How do I get a print?

Right click on the photo, then click “Save image as” and print it out or, perhaps upload it into photobucket and print it from there. There may be other ways, but I’m not very computer savvy.

Here is the link to the actual graphic if this will help:

“John Kerry in a lab suit that gave him the appearance of a giant sperm.”

He looked so much more natural then...

Elmer Fudd. That’s the new term for him. Mocking him will bring him down a peg or two.

Somebody tell Glenn Beck he can save himself a lot of money if he he starts refering to him as Elmer Fudd.
