4. Yup
Remember when they had to build a special platform for him at the Long Island 9/11 memorial ceremony so his feet wouldn't touch the dirt? Jimmy Breslin wrote about it.

14. found an excerpt from the Breslin column:
For days now, the job at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County has been to follow the order from the White House through the Secret Service and down to the park workers:

"The president's feet are not to touch the dirt."

So all yesterday, large crews drawn from all county parks worked to ensure that, as always in his life, George Bush's feet do not touch the ground when he appears in the big park today.

Bush arrives for a fund-raiser at a restaurant in the park. That is indoors and he doesn't have to worry about his feet there. But he has to go over ground to an administration building where he is to meet with families of 9/11 victims. After that, he has to go over more ground to get to the site of a memorial to the victims.
. . .
Bush was to move to a couple of locations on dirty parkland. Last Thursday, the bureaucrats in charge of the park heard from the Secret Service. The word immediately ran through the halls of local government.

Not a foot touches the earth.

22. "Not a Foot Touches the Earth"
"Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod."

http://www.pddoc.com/poems/hopkins_gerard_manley_-_gods_grandeur.html

Not being grounded, or being out of touch with nature is one thing. This seems pathological.

8. No, he can't be walking on the SNOW!!!
They must have cleared a path for him and put down a carpet. His feet and shoes cannot get dirty or wet.

28. Will have drunk
and the conjugation continues.

I will have to go back and hear what exactly he said. He could have left himself an out by using a specific word with dual meanings.

But then again, what difference does it make? It might mean something if he had never been caught in a lie before.

I'll bet he makes an exception for cough medicine and alcohol based flavorings or sherry in his foods and other things we don't usually think of as drinking.

7. He's angry it snowed on the day he's scheduled to clean his room...
...if it had snowed another day, he could have made a snowman and been a "bad boy" by taking the carrot his staff would have given him for the nose and used it instead for the phallus.

20. Funny how we've gotten used to that long black coat
I remember how when he first wore it after the Selection, everyone said, "What's THAT???"

27. If you're talking about this picture,
I think it's more the total effect than the coat itself.

26. *gasp* who didn't shovel the snow for the Chimperor?
Course, his sycophants could have just made a carpet of their bodies for him to walk over....it's not like they would have felt any difference.
