El Prestidente en Cognito

[Masked and Anonymous]

Let's see here... Silly hat?  Check.  Sunglasses?  Check.  Cowboy boots?  Check check.  Chewing tobacco??  Looks like it to me.  So, here's the question of the day -- is the disguise for want of not getting caught chewing tobacco in the Rose Garden or did junior just want to look cool for the press while chewing said tobacco? Tout ce qui est bon au sujet petit travail a domicile.

America the Infomercial

[George Bush has some 'Challanges' (sic) at the Economic Summit]

Signs, slogans, scripts, and sycophants -- it's not an "economic summit", it's an infomercial.  The only thing missing is the George Foreman grill.

Proclamation: Dress like the President Day

[Ambassador Jim Nicholson and President Bush]

Either I missed a memo or somebody's sharing a stylist.

Incase You've Forgotten, it's 'George W. Bush, Commander in Chief'

[George Plays Dress Up]

This picture is a bit deceiving, as it gives the appearance of Bush swimming amongst a virtual sea of troops, when in fact, he's strutting down a fenced-in catwalk, yards from any troops.  But why shouldn't he strut?  Check out that new jacket!

George W. Bush Garden Gnomes

If I had it my way, the Franklin Mint would be hawking these things by the truckload.  Move over "Shauna Princess of Blarney Castle Doll", there's a Bush Gnome in town.

That Couldn't be Comfortable

[Mrs. Cheney Tops the National Christmas Tree]

Bush Appoints National Trouser Security Advisor

[Someone Left the Barn Door Open]

No, I'm not talking about Condoleeza Rice.  This recent security oversight may be the first in a long line of security breaches.  A National Trouser Security Advisor is being considered. The White House is not issuing comments at this time.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane Harriet Miers?

[Bush walks with newly appointed White House Council]

RNC: Have you seen the signs?

How much do ya want to bet -- the Republicans had all these signs painted by 9 year old blind Mongolians for $.05 an hour?

Sex Aid comes to Alabama by Way of Bush

When we reported, "sexually frustrated red state Alabamians will have to resort to sex with their husbands due to new anti sex toy legislation" -- we didn’t expect Bush to offer up such a viable alternative.
