1. I have had one of these for years...

the more you wear it, the softer the oilskin gets.

After seeing this, I may never wear mine again.

2. He looks

almost as fucking stupid as when he donned the flight suit for the "Mission Accomplished" photo op!

I wish the Australians would send President DoughHead to the outback. Those mohawk biker dudes would trade him around like currency!

3. It will make a good display in his library

Some of these leaders love this 'uniform' stuff. Like the old royals just before WW1. From what you read they had rooms full of this stuff. Bush seems to come from other age to me any how. The frat boy who made it to being King.

4. They are wearing those jackets to hide the vests that they are all

wearing. Those so called leaders are getting nervous. Every single one of them look a bit too bulky...

5. Presidenting - better costumes than acting, and less lines to memorize.

6. He looks rather "special."

And yet I'm still seeing "W" stickers on vehicles.

I don't get it. :shrug:
