Just This Once!!!!!
Just this once I am moving off the fashion grid and on to the political rant! I was doing my regular political blog roll and ran across a recent posting over at Wonkette. The piece was on how President Bush has been using his time this holiday season. Referring to the recent oval office web fairytale of "Barney's Whitehouse Extravaganza". The disturbing part of this story is not that the oval office's need to take time away from the unsettling problems in the middle east to drum and waist "our" money on a ridiculous fairytale such as this. No, rather the disturbing part is the photo Wonkette posted with the entry! President Bush sitting a the oval office desk! Let me show you:

PF Bentley took this photo the morning of george bush's inauguration. Notice President Clinton was kind enough to clean the desk off and tidy up the room for Bush. photo by PF Bentley
Now, this is the photo that Wonkette posted with the blog entry. It seems that President Bush was never told he could keep anything on his desk. There are two really disturbing things in this photo:
1. The obvious is that President Bush has no work sitting on his desk.
2. And the most disturbing thing about this photo is the absence of any of the White House Artifacts that are rich with history. President Clinton had numerous historical busts sitting on his desk as well as he used frames from previous Presidents. Proof those who don't respect the history of their responsibility will embark on a personal journey for themselves.
Notice in the current photo of President Bush, that nothing appears to be sitting on the desk besides the phone and empty in box. Of coarse Barney makes the photo but not that important report of issue in the Middle East! Now granted I did search the web for a photo with the President Bush's desk covered in papers, but alas there was none, only one with two binders with the seal of the Vice President.
Now look at President Bush's Bookshelves.........Almost All China (Plates) - I am sorry is this George's office or Laura's?
