The Beast arrives at Piarco Airport ~ Fifth Summit of the Americas

Allyuh know y’all gyul go find a way to get some exclusive pictures from T&T re: the Fifth Summit of the Americas! Well, see below the President’s Cadillac limousine, nicknamed “The Beast” arriving at Piarco Airport yesterday.

De Transport gets transported

De Beast emerges!

Checkin out de ride

Watch pose nuh!!

Lawd, I have to love mi Trini brudders and dem – yuh ent see dem posing wid de man vehicle!! (For what it’s worth, I understand these pictures were taken by T&T police officers, not civilians. I know we Caribbean people good, but we ent so good dat de Secret Service go let we jus’ be liming around de most secure car in de world).

EDIT/UPDATE!: Bandi pointed out to me that apparently this is NOT de Beast (steupse), as per the comments discussion on Wuzdescene.

Also turns out the pictures are as exclusive as I thought either. Seems that EVERYONE in T&T emailing these around de place!  But say what, dey still fun to watch. There are even more pictures at Wuzdescene’s link.

    lol this is similar to what happened just now when all the local news channels got excited only to see Steven Harper come out of a plane then realizing it wasn’t Air Force One.

    By the way, jus’ so allyuh know, it WAS the limo that he used. The actual Beast-Beast is probably back in D.C., but the Prez was riding in this Fake-Beast. :p
