<br>Maybe they were aiming for the distinction of being sued by Saddam?

I like Bush's quote at the bottom about being backwards and barbaric. Took me 5 minutes to realize he wasn't talking about himself. (OK, cheap shot, sorry.)
See?

Ah yes, it's an "extraordinary iconic news image" to see someone doing his laundry. <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>But then, what can one expect from a rag owned by Rupert Murdoch?

Butterfly effect. A butterfly flapping its wings in DC can cause a tornado in Iraq. Bad analogy. Bush is not a butterfly.

Just throwing in my one cent. I'd put in two cents but I've been downsized.

In Doonesbury Bush was an asterix with a roman helmet on. <br><br>That's always been my favourite depiction of him, because then you don't have to look at the monkey-freak.

Do you mean he was an asterisk in the * sense or Asterix the comic book character?
