The Power of Makeup

Status: Viral email
Pasted below is the content of an email that's going around. It's not a hoax, but it deals with issues of camouflage and deception. (It also reminds me of some Before and After pictures that I posted over a year ago.) The subject line of the email is: Never underestimate the power of makeup.

Ha! Funny, I received this in my email last night too, and I was thinking of posting it to the jokes forum today. 😊

It's odd, though; the criticism I have heard of George W. Bush is that he flubs his words and is none too clever. Him being physically ugly isn't really a meme, although plenty of people argue that he is spiritually or metaphorically ugly. Indeed, he is surprisingly trim and well-preserved for someone of his age, and if I absolutely had to kiss a man and I had a choice between George W. Bush and - for example - Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, or Jeb Bush, or Fidel Castro, I would choose George. He probably wears a superior brand of aftershave, which can make all the difference when kissing a man.

I have never kissed a horse, but a horse has licked my hand. I have never touched a horse's behind.

Ole George has always looked more like an agry lil monkey to me than anything.

As usual with such pairs of pictures, all of the "befores" look better to me than the "afters."

I must say, it's a pretty accurate e-mail. I also found a link that explains his stupidity.
Enjoy.

OK, the one on the lower left is the president of the United States. Who's the guy on the right bottom?

I imagine it's the president without (spiritual) makeup. 😜

Why would they make a horse's ass uglier?

Am I the only one who is getting tired of the same jokes, over and over? Honestly, I thought it couldn't get any worse than with Clinton, but the Bush bashers are just recycling everyone else's jokes. I dislike Bush as much as the next guy, but I also appreciate good, original humor.

Yep, you're the only one, Charydbis...

OK, Charybdis, I'll observe a moratorium on jokes about Bush.
By the way, here's a fact about Bush:
When reporters asked him for an analysis of his just-completed trip to Latin America (reports that he stayed up all night studying Latin so he could talk with the natives are uncomfirmed), G.W. Bush's appraisal was:
"Wow, Brazil is really big."

I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.

Oops, make that "unconfirmed."

Serves me right for letting Jenna do my proofreading.

Hey, I'm not saying anyone should stop. I'm just saying the quality of the jokes has pretty much bottomed out. It's like listening to David Spade.

He is also claimed to have called both the continent of Africa and the american state of Hawa

Yeah, I went for the cheap shot, just for the sake of getting a joke on here. Did you HAVE to compare me to David Spade though? That really hurts. I'm going to go cry now.

That would actually be funny if it were a picture of Hillary Clinton, and not of the man who actually has the gonads to defend this country.

Uh, save us from what? You DO know that Bush has admitted publicly that Hussein had NOTHING to do with 9/11, right? Given that and the fact that he hasn't caught binLaden yet, exactly what is he "defending" us from? We attacked a country that didn't attack us--funny way to "defend," don't you think?

Since 15 of the 19 terrorists involved in the WTC attack were from Saudi Arabia and NONE were Iraqis, shouldn't we have attacked Saudi Arabia (assuming we had to attack anyone at all, that is)?

If you choose to reply, please be specific and don't engage in insults, OK?
