Chimp and Cheney getting crystal lamps -- what would you give them instead

Bush, Cheney to Receive Crystal Lamps

10 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) will have to clear space on a couple of White House end tables for the gift commemorating his second inauguration — a pair of hand-cut, crystal hurricane lamps engraved with a likeness of the nation's mansion.

(snip)

This is the fifth year that Lenox has been asked to create the inaugural gift, the only gift Bush will receive from the nation.

Design and creation of the gift was coordinated with Sen. Trent Lott (news, bio, voting record), R-Miss., chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, and his wife, Patricia.

"Our Founding Fathers wrote our national documents by candlelight," the senator said. "Many leaders guided our nation with the aid of lamps like these. This new design connects us with our historic past."


I say they should give Chimp a flashlight. What's your suggestion?

1. We all get inaugurated...................
All political power emanates from the people, right?

So WE get inaugurated.

Not once every four years.

That's whimpy!

How about 6 times a year!

Here's how we can do it----

8. Lenox? Why not Waterford? or Faberge? (sarcasm)
And just for the record, Yo! Asswipe, you're not receiving it from "the nation" cause you're for damn sure not getting it from me.

The only gift I'd get you would be a hanky covered in shit.

10. Best Sci-Fi Production Award
I would give Bush and Cheney a 1st place award for creating the best sci-fi series on television. Second place awards should go to all major news stations for their documentary style cooperation. Third place ribbons for audience participation would go to all the bobble headed supporters.
