1. I've got the one with the Big head that says all the silly Bushisms
We love messing around with him. Enjoy.

3. Really? I wish I had that one...
...this one is actually supposed to be sort of flattering, but he still says some pretty stupid sounding things. My favorite is probably "My call to you is, if you want to fight evil, do some good!" :rofl:

4. For now, I'll keep it at my desk at work...
Edited on Thu Nov-03-05 08:50 AM by Crankie Avalon
...I'm thinking I'll accessorize it with an empty one of those little shot-sized bottles of booze they give out on airplanes.

My favorites things he says are "My call to you is, if you want to fight evil, do some good!," "I'm glad to be in the midst of patriots," and "If you're not with us (pause), you're againt us."

5. Oh yeah, those are funny.
One of my favorites, "The French don't have a word for entrepreneur".

13. One of mine is...
"I know the human being and the fish can co-exist peacefully", especially since I can't begin to comprehend what brought on that statement.

6. And it's really realistic!
The Voice: Contains twelve famous presidential sayings, including "Peeance Freeance," "There's an old saying in Texas, 'fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...uhh...won't get fooled again'," "Harriet Miers is the most qualified person I could find to serve on the Supreme Court," "Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction," and "I did not have business relations with that man." If you spin the head around backwards, it also says "I am not a crook."

The suit: We went to great lengths to make this action figure realistic. We even went to the same place George gets his, and had them made from the same cheap fabric that's in his. Ever since the first debate, where George showed up in a $3500 suit that looked just as good as the ones at the Jesus Free Store, George's haberdasher can't sell a suit to anyone. So they're whipping out ones for our action figures just as fast as they can.

The boots: Remember, we're looking for absolute realism here, so we went to the same bootmaker George frequents and had him whip us up a batch of little boots with presidential seals on the front. When you see these incredibly lifelike boots, you're sure to ask yourself, "What kind of fucking useless idiot wears cowboy boots with a suit?"

The accessories: Comes with LOTS of accessories, including:
* A case of Jack Daniel's
* A white pickup that looks like it's been wrapped around a tree
* A football--the Army won't let the real "football," which contains the codes for blowing up the world, anywhere within 500 miles of George Bush. So they get an officer to walk around carrying a genuine Spalding NFL Model football. George is happy and the rest of the world is ecstatic.
* George's favorite lipstick.
* A book of the poetry he wrote to the First Lady. Contains 128 blank pages perfect for writing your own poetry, grocery lists, bankruptcy petitions, suicide notes or whatever strikes your fancy.

7. Sounds good...
...throw in his old cheerleader's skirt as an extra accessory and maybe add "I think I might need a bathroom break? Is this possible?" to his poetry book and I'd go buy it.

10. Explanation of the poetry joke
Bush can't write poetry. Or, at least, he hasn't yet.

Turns out that the "lump in the bed" poem attributed to him was really written by someone else. Hence, his "poems to his wife" book is really a 128-page-long blank book.

Shouldn't we add his megaphone too?

9. It's a hard plastic that would probably bend flimsier types of pins...
...but I guess you could drive them in if they were reinforced and you were determined enough.

12. My thoughts exactly
Turn it into a voodoo doll. If pins won't go through it, use nails. I think to make voodoo, you need something from the person. Maybe you can ask for an autographed photo from the WH and it can be the personal item needed for voodoo spells.
