take for example his favorite painting - "A Charge to Keep"{sic} Hanging in the Oval Office while he was pResident, he is so taken by the "hero" in the painting that he titles his autobiography thusly... Turns out that the painting actually depicts a horse thief and the original title is "The Slipper Tongue"... Ha Ha Ha! fracking idiot boy dim son!

You can't make this shit up...

"So Bush’s inspiring, proselytizing Methodist is in fact a horse thief fleeing from a lynch mob. It seems a fitting marker for the Bush presidency. Bush has consistently exhibited what psychologists call the “Tolstoy syndrome.” That is, he is completely convinced he knows what things are, so he shuts down all avenues of inquiry about them and disregards the information that is offered to him. This is the hallmark of a tragically bad executive. But in this case, it couldn’t be more precious. The president of the United States has identified closely with a man he sees as a mythic, heroic figure. In fact that man is a wily criminal one step out in front of justice. It perfectly reflects Bush the man . . . and Bush the president."

In all of its glory... "The Slipper Tongue"



and... here is the painting of a HORSE THIEF hanging in the Oval Office proudly showed off by the minor shrub himself.
