CNN :

It's hard to imagine a tough guy from Texas shopping for a pocketbook, but President Bush gave his wife a new purse and a silver tray for Christmas, according to an aide to First Lady Laura Bush.

Sally McDonough, the First Lady's spokeswoman, said that in turn Mrs. Bush is helping quench the President's thirst for vigorous bike rides, even during the frosty months. "For the President, Mrs. Bush is helping to outfit him for cold weather mountain biking," said McDonough. "With a new coat and warming soles."

I'm guessing it wasn't an iPhone.

The more Bush bicycles, the less he is inclined to bother Laura.

I'd wear that asshole out too, any way I could. Sex with Bush ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

... and both the tray and the purse were empty, of course.

Make him happy, give him a jumbo-size pretzel. The entire world will appreciate the gesture forever...

A conscience, perhaps a brain or even maybe a sense of responsibility.

Now his worried about his legacy, he should have worried about that one years ago. I got it, a new chain saw than just go away and take Dick and his neo-con-fascist with him. That would be Christmas present for the whole country, even the dump jerks, who still think this administration care about them.

The While House hosted a Christmas pageant this week and the play was Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” remember the Ghost of Christmas present and the 2 staving children hiding under his robes (Ignorance and Want). You think King George the loser was paying attention, enough said.

What did George give Condi for Christmas? A new set of self-cleaning latex sheets?

Maybe he got that cute little Olivia Newton-John headband for xmas.
and btw, doesn't he look kinda porky for someone who rides his bike daily?...and no, that's not body armor, the united states doesn't have any to spare.....and i'm sure that military guy in the shadows doesn't want to share his.

I think it is really tacky that the President of the United States is a re-gifter. Just one more reason to hate him.

The photo of Bush on this thread could be labled.

Worlds Biggest Terrorist.

The USA is the biggest purveyour of STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM on earth.

Thats why you folks are becoming more hated by the minute.

I wonder if she gave him a special Christmas time blow-job?

Jeepers, I'd like to have one like ET had and give it to him...then we could see him riding off into the sunset for ever.

My heart skipped a few beats when I first looked at the picture of Bush. I thought he had been arrested and was being taken into custody.

Sometimes gifts can really disappoint... even when they aren't intended for us.

Let's hope he received a brain.

A Pocketbook anna Silver Tray.

I call those "Ten Speed Scissors" presents.

I got one of those once.
Just moved in with my boyfriend - all romantic and such. First Christmas season.

So, what kind of wonderfully romantic gift would this prince give me?

A set of pots and pans.........

Let's just say that romantic interlude lasted just about .....five...four..three...two...one
