All he had to say  
Was “W,X,Y,Z”  
To get the point made.

Personnaly, I think “W,X,Y,Z” would have been better. Or maybe “W,X,Y,Z”.

Considering that Cheney isn’t in the pic, I’d wager, no.

Well, at least we can put the boxers v. briefs argument to rest now.

My old Japanese teacher told me that Japanese housewives think Koizumi-san is oh so sexy - they watch the Japanese version of CSPAN all the time and buy their husbands whatever he’s wearing. He must do that thing with his hair for them. 😉

Is that really his white shirt we are seeing, or could it be the location of his first skin-lightening treatments sticking out there for the world to see? Stranger things have happened, my friends.

I think the strangest thing about this picture is the funny, awkward way Bush is holding out his left leg, like he’s _intentionally displaying_ that he’s left the barn door open.

He doesn’t _need_ to be in the picture for us to be assured that Cheney **is** staring right at Bush’s bush.

Is it just me or does the Japanese Prime Minister look like he is the asian version of Richard Gere. Only more hair…nice hair…must touch the hair…Bet he went to Fantastic Sam’s.

Don’t forget one of the daughter’s sticking her tongue out at the camera. Or the daughter getting busted with a fake ID, or the cousin who went to rehab and got busted with crack in her shoe while there, or…

Of course, _nothing_ beats LBJ picking his dog up by the ears or Billy Carter pissing on the tarmac when he got off the plane.
