Side Eye Champion of the Year

| January 22, 2008 | 37 Comments

My buddy Nichelle of Anovelista sent me this photo and it cracked. me. UP!! Ha haaaaa! If that isn’t what we Trinis call a “cut eye,” I don’t know what is.

The caption reads as follows: “US President George W. Bush (C) leans over to talk with a girl (R) after Bush participated in a lesson for young children on the importance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day during a tour of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC, 21 January 2008. By Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty.”

It’s been posted over at Andrew Sullivan’s Daily Dish.

Little girl, I don’t know who you are… but thanks for making my Tuesday morning brighter. I needed a good belly laugh to kick off what’s bound to be a busy day.

    That’s definitely a “you are in my personal space, and I don’t know you like that, president or no president” look — wow. Definitely made me smile.

  2. 1969 says:

    That is a sweet cut eye! LMAO. I don’t blame her.

  3. Shones says:

    That is priceless! How she looks in the picture is exactly how I feel toward him.

  5. Jacquie says:

    If that is not funny, what is. :) Maybe she was thinking, “dude your breath is foul. you should chew and swallow a few breath mints”. LOL

    Who you be all up on me? This is as real as real can be, than the fakey fake cheesy pics we are used to seeing of folks posing with political figures.

  9. the muse says:

    ha! i am sending this to my friends right now!

  10. Mrs. Mckinzie says:

    I guess that children do know more than we sometimes give them credit for.

  11. LoveIsDope says:

    I hope this child’s mother makes this an 8×10 and puts it on the wall. Priceless!

  12. Toya says:

    Lord! I am HOWLING over here! I know that’s right, little girl. If I ever met him, I’d be giving him serious “Madam”, too (that’s what we call the ‘side eye’ in my family).

  13. wrote this someplace else says:

    This is why the pic is so funny…

    I didn’t even read the caption or anything else to know, that the only grey-haired white man she could have possibly looked at that way, was our president.

  14. Amy says:

    Love the “cut eye!” Or as my family would say, “She passed me a pair of eyes!”

  15. Lauren says:

    I second that young ladies’ ‘cut eye’! She has also made my day! Afrobella u have brought me laughter on a rainy day, thanks!

  16. LOLgal says:

    Just one of George Bush’s scheduled appearances to interact with black people! lol@ the eyes!

  17. Danielle says:

    Ha! Gotta love someone giving Bush the classic “Bitch, please” look. And I’m stealing “cut eye.”

  18. BlackHoney says:

    I see I’m not the only Southern chick in the house. I received more than one pinch from my Grandma for “cutting my eyes” at her like the kid in the picture.

  19. BlackHoney says:

    I guess a lot of us use that term.

  20. SJay says:

    She looks like she’s saying, “N-word, please.”

  21. Denise says:

    That’s a classic “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout Willis” look to me!!! Too funny.

  22. Yes, I don’t know who gets the award for side-eye of the year, her or that cute little baby that was a viral sensation a month or so back. HILARIOUS. I TOTALLY feel her.

  23. Afrodite says:

    This is sooooo my new desktop background!

  24. Anita Grant says:

    hahahahahahaha!!!
    I bet as he walked away she sucked her teeth at him too!
    TOO FUNNY!!!
    Cheers for the laugh Afrobella..

  25. Love it! Her whole body language is so not feeling him. It’s like she wants to say, “I heard what Kanye said about you after Katrina!”

  26. there’s a great picture with hilary gettin the ‘i wish you would’ picture too. those kids are awesome.

  27. SONYJA says:

    MY HERO!

  28. BrahmaBull says:

    “My man, why you goota put yo’ arm around me? Yo’ breath smell like hotdog water!”

  29. She can see right through the bullsh*t!! Classic!

    There’s another one with Hillary that’s been floating around… same kind of situation. I’ve been looking for it to post on my blog. A link on another blog I read sent me to yours, and I thought I’d find it here. And instead saw this one.

    Cheers!
