Take a careful look at the ape-like creature seated in the front. Take note of the footwear. Now take a moment to let that sink in. Yes: those are, in fact, black cowboy boots emblazoned with the Presidential seal.
Now, not only are they pretty much the fucking tackiest thing ever (well, at least as tacky as the codpiece), but the booties speak volumes about Bush's approach to the presidency. He's not interested in responsibility or leadership (a blessing, I suppose: imagine how much worse off the world would be if he actually had ideas): he just wants to play dress-up.
Which reminds me of one of the Gee Dubya nicknames that's been circulating in progressive circles for these past few dark years: "Little Boots". As for the origin of that one, well...
As a boy of just two or three, he accompanied his parents on military campaigns in the north of Germania and became the mascot of his father's army. The soldiers were amused whenever Agrippina would put young Gaius in a miniature soldier's uniform, including boots and armor; and he was soon given his nickname Caligula, meaning "Little (Soldier's) boot", after the small boots he wore as part of his uniform
