1. So if a cluttered desk

is the sign of a clutter mind, Bush is proof positive that an empty desk is a sign of an empty mind.

From the proud owner of a very cluttered desk.

4. He has the biggest desk, though!

Notice it is also the only one with a Modesty Shield, should we draw any inferences from that?

5. Interesting story about the desk, known as the "Resolute Desk..."

It was made from the timbers of the HMS Resolute, commissioned by Queen Victoria as a gift to the US President Rutherford B Hayes. Originally, the modesty shield wasn't included on the desk as presented by Queen Victoria - it was added by FDR to mask the braces on his legs. I believe FDR used the desk in his private study in the WH residence, and used the one pictured above in the Oval Office.

I figured W had the biggest desk cause he could.
