My days in pictures.
I spent the last two days handling the media for two Bush events in Colorado. Yesterday, the president did a fundraiser for Pete Coors at a cool airplane museum in Denver. Bush looked exhausted. I was at the back of the room when he came on stage and I couldn't believe it was him. His hair has turned almost completely white. It's been a long four years.
Today was different. I know it's been said before but Bush does so much better when he's around 'regular folks'. The rally was free, unlike the $1000 a head fundraiser the day before and Bush looked energized, excited, and happy.
I got to the rally at around 5am and there was already a huge crowd waiting to get in, though the doors wouldn't open for a few hours. By the way, we're in the mountains and it was freezing. I was wearing tights under my pants, a thermal with a sweater over it, with a t-shirt over that and a sweatshirt and I was still shivering. But, people love Bush and the cold didn't seem to bother them.
People love Bush:
I mean, they love Bush:
Pete Coors was there:
As was Gov. Owens:
Who's that guy:
I got to meet Mrs.Vodkapundit, though very briefly.
This was a popular sign:
Guess what? You can't bring knives in when you go see the president:
Any mention of the military got wild applause, whether it was for our men and women serving, a mention of their families or a thanks to veterans:
Jenna introduced her father. I think she is, by far, the hottest child of a president that I can remember (and I say 'that I can remember' specifically so that Von Bek doesn't launch into a 'the daughter of Benjamin Harrison was a looker but not quite as attractive as the three-nippled offspring of Polk):
The media were generally pretty good but there was one camera guy who just wouldn't stay where he was supposed to. The White House advance press chick, Gayla, is the sweetest person alive but cross her and she will bark 'NO!' at you. I'm not sure I have it in me to do the same. I can be rude with the best of them, and with press you often have to be, but she is just incredible at what she does.
Finally, if you live in Colorado Springs, vote for all these people named on the signs, in particular Peggy Littleton, who is running for school board, and has been the most gracious person in letting me stay with her.
UPDATE: Vodkapundit just posted his photos of the event. By the time I left the arena, there were no protestors anywhere, so check out his pics.
UPDATE: Apparently, Vodkapundit is getting some abuse for having a mustache in the photo of him above. Just to confirm his story, it is a goatee:

Lol. Well I won't share my thoughts on how hot Abby Fillmore was. Sounds like you had a blast and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Posted by: Von Bek at October 12, 2004 03:27 PMThree nipples, huh? Now there's something for the Trivial Pursuit folks (double meaning intended ;))
Posted by: Shawn at October 12, 2004 03:32 PMI was actually thinking of Polk when I was reading Karol's comments on how the presidency aged W. which just shows how "spot on" Karol can be.
Posted by: Von Bek at October 12, 2004 03:33 PMHad to sneak the Polk reference in there, didn't ya?
Posted by: Karol at October 12, 2004 03:35 PMAlso, to me, Bush looks out of place in a suit. I imagine him the sort of guy who likes to get his hands dirty. Definitely more blue-collar than Kerry.
Posted by: Shawn at October 12, 2004 03:38 PMIt's been a long four years.
Longer for us than for him. And I've managed to keep my hair black. I think Bush is dipping into the "gravitas dye."
And, of the Bush twins, I'm partial to Barbara - but she will only hold the "hottest first daughter" title until Kerry is elected.
Posted by: ugarte at October 12, 2004 03:43 PMNo, Barbara Bush is hotter.
Not that my opinion counts. Somebody ask the boys!
Posted by: candace at October 12, 2004 03:44 PMYeah I like ole James Knox Polk. Seriously, his time as president pretty much killed the guy and you're right. W is looking a lot older.
Posted by: Von Bek at October 12, 2004 03:44 PMThese photos are fantastic! It looks like a sports event. I doubt Kerry's rallies are this big.
Barbara's a little bit hotter.
Posted by: Yaron at October 12, 2004 03:57 PMDefinitely Barbara, and the Kerry girls will NEVER BE First daughters. Praise the Lord for that small favor!
Posted by: leaddog2 at October 12, 2004 04:07 PMCandace,
Jenna Bush is a babe. But Barbara Bush is SMOKING HOT. Makes me glad to vote Republican. :)
Awesome pictures Karol. Excellent quality. And I have to agree with some others here: Jenna's sister Barbara is the hottie.
Posted by: Matt at October 12, 2004 04:25 PMWhy doesn't anyone ever talk about the environment in this election. I know the most important thing is Terrorism but somewhere around stem cell research there used to be an issue called the Environment.
Can you start a new thread when you get a chance and we'll compare and contrast environmental views.
Posted by: Dan at October 12, 2004 04:33 PMJenna's hotter because you know she's naughty and you can get her drunk.
Posted by: Dan at October 12, 2004 04:34 PMWhy doesn't anyone ever talk about the environment in this election.
It was touched on in the 2nd Pres. Debate. This post has a brief paragraph on it around 9:00 CDT.
Posted by: Shawn at October 12, 2004 04:48 PMI always though Barbara was much hotter than Jenna myself...but I generally am more attracted to brunettes than blondes anyway.
Posted by: Gregory Markle at October 12, 2004 05:10 PMNeat pictures! The three Bush pictures are very nice. You can see he's a performer.
This blond one is my fave Bush daughter. The other one is less charismatic. And both Kerry gals are ghastly, pathetic cows. "Vote for our dad, he's a GOOD guy!" They are just clueless, and quite unattractive, with their cucumber-like heads.
Is that a mustage on VodkaPundit? Looks aweful! I hope he gets rid of it soon.
Posted by: Ivan Lenin at October 12, 2004 05:11 PMNeither are particularly attractive, but the other sister is clearly the better looking of the two...I actually felt sorry for the one you call hot seeing her on stage with her family at one event.
Posted by: Signor_Ferrari at October 12, 2004 05:36 PM"No, Barbara Bush is hotter."
You mean former first lady Barbara Bush?
Seriously, the Bush daughters are definitely hot, and I am partial to Barbara (the daughter, not the grandmother).
Posted by: Cool Tester at October 12, 2004 06:25 PMDan:
In any environment,
the Bush girls look better than the Kerry girls.
Karol:
Is Bush coming into Colorado to help Pete Coors or is he scared of losing the state?
Heh. This whole discussion about the Bush twins is like a discussion about the Gilligan girls: Ginger, or Mary-Ann?
And let's not even talk about Kerry's daughter... I really feel bad for her.
Posted by: Sydney Carton at October 12, 2004 06:59 PMJake,
Polls have Bush running slightly ahead here and Kerry has pulled ads from the state. I think it's a little of both, though, there have been tons of stories in the last week on how Colorado may be this year's Florida.
Posted by: Karol at October 12, 2004 07:14 PMInteresting....
Soldiers on Active Duty May:
[edit]
2. Attend partisan and nonpartisan political meetings or rallies as spectators, however, they may not attend: (a) in uniform, (b) during duty hours, (c) when violence is likely to result, or (d) when their activities constitute a breach of law and order;
A suitable title for that photo might be "Exhibit A."
Posted by: Rick at October 12, 2004 07:49 PMWhat's all the hue & cry over who's hot and who's not? I thought we were voting for Dad, not the girls!
Posted by: abarts at October 12, 2004 08:35 PMMan, I am jealous or what!!! I wish I coulda been there. Bush looks like a superstar, and he babe daughters, well, nothing else need be said
Posted by: Carl at October 12, 2004 08:53 PMjust TRY to stop us freeptards! we kick your ass everywhere, the streets, the meadia, the balotts!
WE OWN YOU!!

They are being accompanied by the Commander in Chief. That makes a little difference....
Hey, maybe they are National Guard? Naw, the NG doesn't count. Forgot. Sorry.
Posted by: Joe at October 13, 2004 12:35 AMSounds like 'Um Yeah' is off the meds again. Using "tards" and spelling it "balotts" in the same sentence. Cute. Have a good election. Enjoy the 4 more years sweety.
Posted by: Joe at October 13, 2004 12:38 AMJenna has that raspy, whisky, coffee and cigarette voice. Plus she's more fun. Bigger boobs. I should really save that for my blog, though. (Wouldn't toss Barbara out of bed for eating crackers, either...or her granddaughter)
Having three nipples seems a waste though...unless the third one was positioned in such a way that you could grab it with the crook of your elbow while your two hands were occupied...
Posted by: Oschisms at October 13, 2004 07:25 AMWhite hair looks good on the prez. I hope he doesn't agree to have it touched up. That would be on the front pages of every paper on the planet.
To the poster above whose hair didn't turn white even though he had a harder four years than the president. You must be young indeed to compare whatever it is you think you suffered with the life and death decisions this man must make 24/7.
I hope you are never put in the position of making decisions that will affect not only the lives of our soldiers, but the future of everyone on the face of the earth.
Say a prayer that he can stay the course in the face of the relentless barrage of lies and distortions from the formidable leftwing media.
And most of all make sure you get out and vote and take friends and family with you (if they're voting for Bush of course).

Are you high, Shawn? Dubya is the son of incredible privledge who made his money the old fashioned way---he inherited it. He skated his way through Harvard, Yale, and the oil bidnez* without any effort on his part at all. And he's spent 40% of his presidency on vacation. How does that add up to being "blue collar?"
True, in these photos he looks more blue collar than Kerry. If you're basing your vote on image rather than reality...well, that makes you a republican, I guess.
Posted by: Don Myers at October 13, 2004 09:52 AMsKerry girls got their daddy's horse face. Yuck.
Islamo-fascists knocking on your front door and liberal nazis knocking on your back door will turn anyone's hair white.
Posted by: RepJ at October 13, 2004 10:14 AMOh erp...
All I've suffered over the last 4 years is the Bush presidency.
The only decisions Bush has been making have to do with landscaping his Crawford ranch. Apparently it is quite a job, and he needs to personally supervise all of the work.
Posted by: ugarte at October 13, 2004 10:47 AMAs for Vodkapundit, technically that is a Van Dyke. A goatee does not include a mustache and looks, well, like a billy goat's chin (see Millar of Red Sox fame). But, whatever it's called, enough already with the Maynard G. Krebs look. Time to moveondotorg. Have never seen the Kerry daughters as whenever a Heinz or Kerry or any combo thereof is coming on TV we hit the remote. To the topic at hand though,Jenna reminds me of the "fun girls" that Barney and Andy got tangled up with. Barb is more Helen Crump, but behind closed doors-- look out. She rocks it all night. As for the posters here who have suffered so much since Jan 2001... we're just gettin' started makin' your life hell.
Posted by: Floyd at October 13, 2004 11:30 AMAlso, to me, Bush looks out of place in a suit. I imagine him the sort of guy who likes to get his hands dirty. Definitely more blue-collar than Kerry.
How does that add up to being "blue collar?"
True, in these photos he looks more blue collar than Kerry.
And there you are. I was looking at the photos and it just seemed he looked more comfortable in something different than a suit.
If you're basing your vote on image rather than reality...well, that makes you a republican, I guess.
You guessed wrong. I provided plenty of clues as to which way I'll be voting in November; clues you overlooked in your haste to make an insult.
Consider Karol's post about Badnarik and Cobb's arrest. Click on the link. To whom does the blog belong? Why do you think I argued that the uphill climb third parties face for ballot access hurts democracy?
Now, I think you should apologize to Mr. Marshall (provide he's still around), ugarte, and Mr. Blaine for making Liberalism look bad.
Posted by: Shawn at October 13, 2004 02:11 PMNow, I think you should apologize to Mr. Marshall (provide he's still around), ugarte, and Mr. Blaine for making Liberalism look bad.
I'm not sure what I have to apologize for. I didn't write any of what you are responding to. Take it up with Don Meyers.
Oh, there's a beard. I feel better now.
Posted by: Ivan Lenin at October 13, 2004 02:28 PMUgarte, do you know about the use of commas? Shawn was clearly 'talking' to Don and named you as one of the people to apologize to.
Posted by: Karol at October 13, 2004 02:31 PM....so I think you should apologize to Shawn. :-)
Posted by: Karol at October 13, 2004 03:27 PMMy bad.
I parsed it (and you'll see that this works grammatically even if it doesn't make much sense and would be an extremely stilted manner of speech) as a request that I apologize to Mr. Marshall (talkingpointsmemo?) and Mr. Blaine.
If you post the routing information for your checking account, Shawn, I'll wire in the requested cash in lieu of an apology.
[refusal on principle to insert emoticon]
Posted by: ugarte at October 13, 2004 03:51 PMShaun:
I humbly beg your apologies for assuming you are a Bush voter. I leapt to a conclusion based on scant evidence. My bad.
I stand by everything else.
Posted by: Don Myers at October 13, 2004 04:13 PMApology accepted, Don.
Posted by: Shawn at October 13, 2004 05:29 PMSee everybody? That's how adults settle their differences....
Posted by: Don Myers at October 13, 2004 08:00 PMReally? Not by saying that whoever votes for the candidate they don't like is a racist who wants to return of segregation?
Posted by: Karol at October 13, 2004 08:16 PMI have a picture of my girlfriends vagina as my desktop theme
Posted by: Mark at October 14, 2004 01:38 AMTake it away, Dawn.
