The Leader of The Free World.

This was taken today at the energy photo op.

George W. Bush does his impersonation of Draft Deferment Dick Cheney.

The real W peeks through the facade.

He does not look well in that picture.

I didn't know what to make of this, but I found it strangely compelling in a creepy way.

He looks sedated or drunk, but that could just be a bad snapshot moment. Yellowy skin, red splotches, looking unshaven, could just be the camera or development settings, but still....

Just a very creepy photo.

On the other hand, he may be saying, "I told you that there were terrorists in our country, dumb-ass liberals!"

[referring to the 3 Toledo 'terror' suspects indicted today.]

If there is ever a picture that demonstrates that you age about 2 decades while you occupy the Oval Office, this is it.

there is something odd about that one.

he reminds of the scarecrow in the wizard of oz....

insert punchline here..

Strangely, I couldn't think of a punchline on this one either. It's just too weird.

And they all age horribly. It really makes me wonder how many crises there really are, you know? How many decisions have to be made, how many nights they actually stay up waiting to see how operations turn out.

Or maybe that's just TV movies and spy novels poking through. It could just be selling your soul to be president.
