ABCNews.com Puts Laura Bush's Head on Godzilla

Godzilla Laura Bush

Over the years I've noticed ABCNews.com likes to have fun with Photoshop. They seem to have very lenient rules when it comes to the photos that accompany their stories. Today I spotted a picture of Laura Bush's head placed on the body of Godzilla on their front page. Here's the blog posting the picture links to over at ABCNews.com. On my blog I've previously discussed my frustration with ABCNews.com.

Update: The picture is no longer featured on the ABCNews.com Web site as of 2:25 p.m. CST.

MSM is out of control

I know the MSM is liberal. But attacking First Lady Laura Bush like this is just wrong. I don't know what the hell ABC News is thinking.

Seriously

What has Laura Bush done?  This is no different that a high schooler's myspace page making fun of the unpopular.  Little ABC weasels! 

come on

If you don't know what they're trying to accomplish, then you've got to get your head out of the sand.  Nothing is out of bounds for the MSM.  Remember, when a lib is in office, can't touch the daughter or wife but when it comes to a Republican, you beat the crap out of anything that moves.  I'm sorry, but it's sick and they'll do, or say anything to drive Pres. Bush into the ground.  They don't care that people don't trust them, don't buy their papers and change the channel - they keep spewing the hatred.  They want Obama in office no matter the cost.

Talk about ridiculous

Talk about ridiculous overreactions. Her OWN DAUGHTER called her Mommiezilla.

You have a point, but is

You have a point, but is this really what we should expect from the venerable ABC News?  I guess it is....

Just for laughs.

I really don't see anything

I really don't see anything malicious in it, since it was a takeoff on her daughter's joke about her.

broken record buut

 

If this was Michelle Obama ..blah blah blah ..yea we all know right

this is what the MSM is trying to do make that argument so over used that it " gets old"

i hate them

 Pee on em'...

That's what I say. They probably don't have anyone at ABC that has half the class and dignity that the first lady does, so I'm going to guess this is all jealousy. Stupidity comes in a close second.

"Abstain from McCain"

I found it all very

I found it all misleading. After reading the actual content, I was really let down by this non-story.

So, Terry made an excellent catch here. ABC's pandering to the casual browser. If you're not ready for it, you could easily assume something different and then bring it up in a half-assed conversation at Starbucks later on.

Ever. Not once I tell you!

Who is this King of Kong?

I mean, I've heard of him, I just haven't read the storybook.

Or something.

I saw the Tonight Show clip

I saw the Tonight Show clip of Jenna and Laura. Jenna called her Mother, "Mommizilla" during the wedding preparations and everyone laughed. It was cute. I understand because I've seen other "Mommizillas" first hand. But, I still don't think ABC should have done the picture.

But funnier would be ABC putting Obama's head up Jeremiah Wright's butt.

LMAO...thanks for the good

LMAO...thanks for the good laugh, Cool. You're right...that would be a sight!

Obama explained he was late for an interview with Bill Moyers.

God help us all. Can you

God help us all. Can you just imagine Obama as President? It's something I really can't fathom. I can't even imagine what our culture would be like during his Presidency...
I've said it before, he's aiming for that "one world order". (IMHO)

Why pick on poor Laura?

Or the president holding hands with his Saudi oil Prince handler.

Whatever, it'll make the

Whatever, it'll make the trolls that hate Bush snicker for a second or two.

Heck I'd even think the first lady would have a sense of humor about it since her daughters call her mommizillia.

Jenna called her Mommiezilla. They put Laura's head on Godzilla. Seems OK.

I don't know why, but suddenly I have this Blue Oyster Cult song ringing in my head. There goes Tokyo.

Let's see what happens if I put Michelle Obama's head on, oh let's just pick a movie monster at random... oh I know...

King Kong...

And send THAT to ABC. It's only in jest you know. Lighten up people.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Could we be seeing Barack Obama as Tutor Turtle?

cool - ha... spot on. It's been bugging me for a while which of God's creatures Obama resembles.

Tortoise or Turtle has him down to a tee.

The damage was already

The damage was already done. It got out to enough of the intended audience (half-asleep; headline-skimming West Coasters) to warrant similar stunts later on.

MomZilla

I don't like ABC, but I watched Laura and Jenna on Leno last night. Jenna said they were calling Laura Momzilla during her wedding because of how she took charge after a storm threatened to ruin some of the event.

So, is this just a reference to Jenna's joke?

Yep. That's

Yep. That's it.

Whoop-de-doo.

The liberals on this BLOG are just so lame.
