oh jeez she really is scary. is she the result of the kennedys mating with aliens? she gives me nightmares. has tony blair always looked like one of those spitting image puppets or is he just turning into one?

― scott seward, Sunday, 5 October 2003 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Also scary in Maria/Arnold pic is the astonishing amount of make-up and hair (and eyebrow????) dye that Arnold is sporting. That's one puppet that will never rot!

There was a good one of Bush about six months ago that was on the cover of the Chicago Tribune that definitely brought out the Alfred E. Neumann in his face. Bush's people were kind of ticked about the photo.

" Four years ago, the NBC Nightly News took seriously the appearance of the letters "RATS," in a single frame of an enlargement of part of the word "BUREAUCRATS," in an anti-Gore ad from the Bush campaign. The September 12, 2000 NBC Nightly News carried two full stories on the controversy. Jump ahead four years, and on Monday night the NBC Nightly News displayed the letters "ILIE" for 16 seconds next to President George W. Bush's face in a "Decision 2004" graphic beside anchor Tom Brokaw as he introduced a story by David Gregory. "
