This one from our White House Photo Blog seems like it is crying out for a weekend-edition Swampland Commenter Caption Contest:
UPDATE: The Washington Post has this story on the unveiling of the portraits of the President and First Lady. I'm no art expert, but I do prefer the Bush portrait to the Clinton one of a few years back, which to my eyes depicted the former President as a cross between Jock Ewing and Ted Koppel. And for those of you who might be traveling to D.C. in the near future, I'd recommend making some time for the National Portrait Gallery. It is, hands down, my favorite museum in the city.

Ladies and gentlemen, on the higher plane we have a great President who is revered and whose sculpture and name appears throughtout the world even now. Being wheeled below, well, we have a President. We will let history attach the adjective. And we are still hoping for a street name in Bagdhad.

At the request of Albania, the National Gallery is preparing to load the portrait of President Bush onto Air Force 1 to be shipped to the Albanian national gallery. They are desparate for heroes, and will take what they can get.

George, I once said, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, ...let us strive on to finish the work we are in, ...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." You trampled on those words and values behind them. All I can do now is turn away in shame.
