2003 NY Times story:

“It was unclear if Mr. [John] Bolten would emerge from his West Wing office, where he displays a series of photographs of Mr. Bush's hands, to speak to the press.”

What a weird fetish to have.

WTF kind of weird mind-control powers does Bush have? From Condi accidentally calling him her husband, to the whole weird Harriet Miers shit, to this, to the Pow3r1in3 dorks and that whole "I wonder what it feels like to be a misunderstood genius like GWB?" thing . . . seriously, does he carry around the Hypnotoad or something?

Maybe he's hung like the horse in that Xiu Xiu thread?

For the past 24 hours I have thought at least once per hour that I had never ever clicked on that thread, thanks.

I assume it takes a lot of brainwashing to prepare someone for a job like that, and those photo's could be a part of that? ("to help you remember whose side you're supposed to be on, even though and especially when it feels wrong: look at these pictures once every two minutes, those are the hands that feed you." kinda thing)

Wonder which of the photographs feature the nation's blood on them?

in other white house fun, katrina carols:

Congress, Bush and FEMA
People across our land
Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!

"I'm the decider and I decide what is best!"

Down by the Pentagon, where the crickle grass grows,
Where for years the insurgents have been in their "last throes"
Old Donald Rumsfeld relaxed and kicked back
And thought of the fine job he'd done in Iraq
But despite Rummy's feelings of omnipotent might
Lots of people were dying, with no end in sight
So several old generals rose up in a rage
And their mad diatribes made it to the front page
All of them wanted poor Rummy to quit
Since 'twas under his watch that Iraq went to shit
But just as old Rummy was about to resign
Bush came along and said "You're doing just fine!"

He was tallish and oldish and grayish and chimpy
And his face looked cartoonish, like a Ren or a Stimpy
He rolled up his sleeves, slammed the floor with a "bang!"
And then bellowed out in his fake Texas twang:

"I'm the decider! I decide what is best!
And all my decisions, they come Jesus-blessed!
I don't read the views of the MSM paparazzi
I need Rummy's help stopping Muslamonazis!

"To all you old generals whose anger won't yield,
Why won't you think of the troops on the field
They want Rummy to stay, they say that they need him
What's wrong with you bastards, do y'all just hate freedom?"

And with that all the critics looked shamed and afraid
For providing al-Qaeda with comfort and aid
They wept and covered their faces with bags
And said, "We're sorry for being such traitorous fags!"
