He does have a painting by Tom Lee you know

[EarlG]

I think this is going to be a great year. I do. I've never been more optimistic about anything in my life. In the Oval Office, there is a painting by a friend of mine named Tom Lee (ph), and when you come in the Oval Office you'll notice it's the western-looking painting right by the door where Logan (ph) used to sit.

On my wall, there's a painting that says -- the painter, a guy named Tom Lee -- he's a friend -- he says, "Sarah and I lived on the east side of the mountain. It is the sunrise side, not the sunset side. It is the side to see the day that is coming, not to see the day that has gone."

Ain't he the one on the sex tape with Pam Anderson? So much for family values.

11. So Bush has a painting done by that guy who was knocking boots with Pamela

Anderson? The guy with tats on every square inch of his bod.

[Bossy Monkey]
