Waxworks visitor casts vote early against Chimpolini
President Bush's wax likeness is taking a thumpin' these days at Madame Tussaud's celebrity waxworks in Las Vegas.

Bush's head suffered about $25,000 in damages when a Madame Tussaud's visitor attacked it the day before last week's elections.

"No one's pushed one over before," said Jack Taylor, spokesman for the tourist attraction.

Bush has needed repairs a number of times, mostly from having his nose pinched, Taylor added.

"This was the most damage" to one of the wax figures, he said. "People are always touching them, but this was pretty rare."

The wax creations, ranging from John F. Kennedy to George Clooney to porn star Jenna Jameson, cost between $200,000 and $250,000 to produce.

The back of Bush's head was damaged in the fall, "but he's been back on his feet for several days now," Taylor said.

5. Maybe, but there's no doubt it is not the most accurate representation
of Bush. I would think for a quarter million bucks, the sculptor could have done better.

6. They could have saved a bundle and just used a pile of doo-doo.
BTW, I don't think it looks much like * either. He's not smirking enough.
