A Tale Of Two Georges
My favorite "W" photo yet. While the facial expression is certainly quizzical (or, perhaps, dumbassical), it is quite understated compared to others I've seen. In other words, it's far from the goofiest shot of our current U.S. President. No, I like it not for its slapstick appeal, but rather the juxtaposition of present-day George W with our 1st George W (the portrait of George Washington in the background). Oh, what a difference a George makes...

Dumbassical: My favorite new word of 2006.
Oh, what a difference a George makes: My favorite phrase of 2006.
"Oh, what a difference a George makes..."
Absolutely. Not that I'm a fan or friend of the Head Chimp, but you have to wonder if he could've amounted to something decent if he actually had to work for anything in life.
What did Anne Richards say? I think it was, "he was born on third base and he was convinced that he hit a home run."
Thanks, Beth. I'm always happy to coin a word or phrase. Sometimes, they're even amusing.
WP: I'm not sure how Anne Richards said it. But, the lyrics to Pearl Jam's song "Bu$hleaguer" include "Born on 3rd/Thinks he got a triple." My other favorite from that song is "He's not a leader/He's a Texas-leaguer."
George, what a guy. Again, that's what you get when you elect the "C" student.
His effectiveness is hindered by those pesky NY Times articles. They keep revealing his "secret" programs. The poor bastard.
In fact, I have it on deep background that "W" has had the entire U.S. population on "double-secret probation" since early in 2004. If I can just get one more source, I'll run with the story...
I think I might make this picture my screensaver.
This reminds me of a quote from mystery science theater 3,000: Don't reference a great movie in your crappy movie. It only makes your movie that much worse. Likewise, don't reference a great presidency in your crappy presidency.
It would be better to stand in front of one of the president's nobody remembers like Chester Arthur.
