Somehow it wasn’t as sad when it was purely meant as satire. [http://www.markfiore.com/animation/action.html](http://www.markfiore.com/animation/action.html) Guess we need to add a new definition of “war-hero.” ---

I considered buying one. I’d never be able to keep it in the box, though. I’d want to add some sort of pull-string gadget, where when you pull the string, it repeats some of the Shrub’s quotes… like “Make the pie higher,” “Put food on your family,” and the ever popular “edumakated.” Oh, yeah, and there’d have to be at least one quote with the word “nuke-yuh-ler” in it… ---

Aw, that doll is no fun. I was hoping for a classic National Guard Bush doll with realistic AWOL action and coke-sniffing sound effects. ---

It doesn’t look nearly enough like a confused muppet to me. ---
