Seen on MSNBC‘s site today:
A handgun that Saddam Hussein was clutching when U.S. forces captured him in a hole in Iraq last December is now kept by President Bush at the White House, Time magazine reported Sunday.
Aside from the obvious phallic subtext, there’s nothing particularly bad about that. However, the article goes on to point out that said gun:
is kept in a small study off the Oval Office where Bush displays memorabilia. It is the same room where former President Clinton had some of his encounters with former intern Monica Lewinsky.
It’s like some sort of sick reflex. No matter that our economy is shaky, millions of Americans are out of work, and our soldiers are dying in a nearly unwinnable war in Iraq. People just can’t stop themselves from slipping in a comment about Clinton getting blowjobs.
I’m going to watch George Stephanopolis on TiVo and see if my mood improves.
