Collectable George W. Bush

Of course there's no president more vile, despicable, and, as Daffy Duck might say, "detessssstible" than George W. Bush. And anyone who might have an intolerance for unpleasant things, for instance, cat puke on the dining room table when you wake up or your house on fire at bedtime, knows exactly what I'm talking about: the man's no good.

But for that very reason -- because George W. Bush is so bad that it nearly causes us to heave just from the thought of him, or, worse, the sound of his voice or sight of him -- he's collectable. It's the villains, the turds of history that command the big bucks. And I'm afraid I'm not going to have much G.W.B. memorabilia to cash in, since I wouldn't be able to live in the same house.

I was thinking of a local store going out of business, and I remember a few years ago they had a truly heaveworthy piece of "artwork," with George bowing his head in prayer and along side of him were George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, hands on his shoulders, also deep in prayer. A piece of garbage like that -- and however you define garbage this either qualifies or sets the new standard -- is going to be valuable someday. Collectable, 1) Because it has to do with this despicable creature we were dumb enough to allow within five light-years of the White House; 2) Because it is a sign of our times, the whole post 9/11 time of national insanity. You remember how it was, when we had the weak and fearful driving by with American flags attached to their driver's side window (I always thought, Hey, you afraid you might forget what country you live in?).

In the future -- fast forward -- it will be no other way -- anything from this period relating to any of this, and to our "Beloved Leader" is going to command some bucks.

So, if you have a George W. Bush doll in his military get-up from a few years ago, hang on to it. Or if you happen to have the picture I mentioned -- and are smart enough to read this blog at the same time -- hang on to it, too!
