Bush 43 stopped by the White House for the unveiling of his official presidential portrait, with President Obama in attendance.
Our super-secret IMAO microphones were there eavesdropping and picked up a few snippets:

1) “I heard he’s really only 1/32 cowboy.”
2) “NO BLOOD FOR OIL PAINTING!”
3) “How many jobs did that create or save?”
4) “Huh. Thought it’d have a postage-stamp mustache.”
5) “No, Mr. Gore, you can’t put an asterisk in the corner.”
6) “Looks like the White House garden’s rotten tomatoes won’t go to waste after all.”
7) “Barack, could you please move your hand?”
8) “Maybe George isn’t evil after all. Obama’s not bowing to him.”
9) “The buffet’s not bad, but I really thought there’d be more Colombian hookers here.”
10) “It’s a great portrait. I think when you spread the paint around, it’s good for everybody.”

Might’ve been something in there about Rumsfeld strangling reporters in the parking lot, but that part was a little garbled. All you can hear is someone shouting “My name is Donald Rumsfeld and I strangled this reporter in the parking lot!”
[High Praise! to Hope n’ Change Cartoons for the pic.]
Love the text, but the picture is perfect.
From a White House servant: “She’s insufferable! Take me with you!”
From BO the dog: “He’s going to eat me! Take me with you!”
From the portrait artist: “Don make me do him! Take me with you!”
From President Obama: “My wife’s an alien! Take me with you!”
Hey-oh, if you haven’t caught any of the audio/video, do watch at least some of George W.’s statement (scroll down for video). He was a hoot, and Laura was as endearing as ever. They are models of class.
Having watched the video, boy and girls, your homework assignment is to compare and contrast. This is from our current President at the same ceremony in honor of George W. Bush:
“Well, you know, Laura likes to get me out from under foot sometimes so I play a lot of golf these days. Not as much as President Obama – but quite a bit.”
“I stopped off at the Midland Feed Store yesterday. Picked up a little something for your missus, Barry.[heh, heh, heh]“
“Hey Michelle honey, I hear the British are renaming the tower housing Big Ben after Queen Elizabeth . Maybe I should make these guys rename the Washington Monument after me. How much black paint do you suppose it would take?”
Great now that the portraits in the White House they can continue to blame George W for everything…………..wait they already do that.
Never mind.
I bet a dollar the next president will notice that Bush’ picture has an asterisk.
Count on it. So long as it’s funny to the right people, like when Clinton’s people took all the W’s off all the keyboards and trashed the place before leaving, it’s A-OK.
