Confession enclosed: Dubya's face reminds me of...

[disgruntella]

My dad. :(

My dad was an alcoholic who has been in recovery for about 2 decades (longer than the Shrub himself, apparently). Nevertheless, his face has the skin tone of a heavy drinker, much like Bush in this picture. (I know there's a phrase for that skin tone but I can't remember it.) There are other similarities -- hairstyle, general build.

Fortunately, the resemblance stops there. He's been a disillusioned Republican/Independent since the 90s -- maybe he just got tired of being laughed at by his Democratic wife and two daughers over the years. He doesn't like Bush Jr. but did support Bush Sr.

I love doing the evil "caption" thing with photos of Dubya, but I gotta say that because of this resemblance I always get a little tug on my heartstrings when I do it. I love my Dad. <sniff>

At least he doesn't look like Cheney.

2. I'm touched by your post.

My father's politics were something like your dad's, it seems. He made it hard to love him, but of course we all did.

He didn't look like Bush, though.
