O glorious fantasy – the Butcher of Crawford at last meets his well-deserved fate.

Just a technical note–this would have worked better with a touch of gaussian blur and then judicious application of the “noise” filter to the layer holding the superimposed heads.

Lets hope the adults wont forget that Cheney was not under oath when questioned about Plame. “NANNERN NANNER, YOU CANT GET ME” I didn’t say the word.

Wouldn’t Bush have deserted about the time he heard the first war whoops?

Yeah, I’m going to work on it some more this evening if I have the time. but the gaussian blur effect doesn’t really do it. It’s more a matter of finding the right combination of artistic filters and brightness/contrast. That’s trial and error work and I didn’t have time for it last night.

I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong with this picture! I thought it had something to do with the fact that Rove wouldn’t be fighting that physically unless somebody had bumped in front of his place at the “Little Bighorn All-U-Can-Eat Buffet”. But what is throwing me off is that Bush the Younger is missing his “champagne division” codpiece!

Excellent photoshopping on Rove, in particular.
Cheney is conspicuously absent. Must be in the underground bunker.

Yes. Very creative, Billmon. Excellent. And not to be too hocus pocus, but a portent as well.

“Looks like it’s just we two now,
Mr. P”
“What do you mean we, Turdman?”

Grand Moff Texan has published this EXCELLENT diary at Kos-
I’ve got an idea! Let’s go make a war to make sure we have people we need to protect our country from!
It’ll be great! We’ll be our own worst enemy and our nation’s savior!
…that has this outstanding comment that begins with:
Many of us predicted that this would happen from the very beginning, because we understood the way identities are constructed around opposition. Example: If I’m a highschool student I might not like many of the other students in my school, but it is likely that I’ll suddenly band together with my fellow highschool students if students from another school come and start messing with our school. In other words, group cohesion is built around opposition to an invading other. The mistake of the administration was to identify the locus of the struggle with terrorists with the logic of nations.
Ahhhh. The reality-based community.
