The only things missing in this stunning, intimate portrait are the prison bars and orange jumpsuits

George W. Bush Made This Portrait Of His Dad And Himself

Speaking about the painting, Bush told Guthrie that he wanted to capture his feelings for the elder Bush -- feelings that he elaborates on at greater length in his new book, 41: A Portrait of My Father, slated for release this week.

"I was proud to be standing next to a man I admired greatly," Bush said, adding that he struggled to get the noses right. "I tried to paint a gentle soul, and I did."

1. He might have struggled to get the noses right,

but he didn't succeed. Neither of them have beaks like that (or those Dudley Do-right chins, either). He's a godawful painter - his lack of talent for art is exceeded only by his lack of self-awareness and his epic fail as a president.

3. If I squint and blur the picture almost to where I cannot see it

The faces look high definition. I think Dubya been smoking some of Poppy's...um...Poppies. Otherwise the painting looks like crap.

4. "A gentle soul"...

5. "I tried to paint a gentle soul, and I did."

There isn't a decent soul that can be scraped together between the two of them.
