You like the rug?

“For whatever reason, Bush seems fixated on his rug. Virtually all visitors to the Oval Office find him regaling them about how it was chosen and what it represents. Turns out, he always says, the first decision any president makes is what carpet he wants in his office…Sometimes Bush describes it as a metaphor for leadership. Sometimes he relates how Russian President Vladimir Putin admired the carpet. Sometimes he seems most taken by the lighting qualities.” Ah, the glory days…I guess it was only after that tough second decision — the drapes, maybe? — that the job started getting to Dubya.

  1. Thanks. It was easy and cliche, but I couldn’t very well resist.

    And now I’m imagining Bush running the country in similar fashion to how The Dude runs a kidnapping case, and it’s all making a scary amount of sense.

    Nothing is fucked?! The goddamned plane has crashed into the mountain!

  2. C’mon, Kev… I know it would be stacking the deck, but there must be a story about a marmot out there somewhere!
