Bush has Saddam's gun. Media can't let go of Clinton's penis.

Saddam's gun on display at White House

A handgun that Saddam Hussein was clutching when US forces captured him in a hole in Iraq last December is now kept by President George W Bush at the White House, a spokesman has confirmed.
Military officials had it mounted after it was seized from Saddam near his hometown of Tikrit last year and soldiers involved in the capture gave it to Mr Bush, according to Time magazine, which first disclosed the gun's location.
The magazine quoted a visitor who had been shown the gun, which is kept in a small study off the Oval Office where Mr Bush displays memorabilia.
It is the same room where former President Bill Clinton had some of his encounters with former intern Monica Lewinsky.

Was that last line really necessary?

1. I took it as a subtle slam on Bush

We've all heard the Freudian theories about guns as substitutes for manhood....soooo....Bush needed some kind of substitute phallic trophy in this place.

Anyway, just my take upon the initial reading of the line.

2. Yes, of course it was

You obviously haven't been briefed.

Clinton's Penis caused 9/11.
Clinton's Penis forced Mr. Bush to invade Iraq.
Clinton's Penis raised gas prices to $2.00, doubled the cost of milk and added $1200 to the cost of a roof.

If it wasn't for Clinton's Penis inventing oral sex, we'd never have been in this situation.

4. It's all clear to me now I see the linkage.

I just thought they might have been able to report the story without the little Clinton factoid. But I see now, Bush conquers terrorists and Clinton conquers interns. Thank God the librul media is making the connection otherwise I might never have made it myself.

5. local nbc station on last night 6pm news used that line

I too found it unnecessary and just another way to remind people of Clinton vs Bush and felt it was right leaning.... I read the post about Freud but don't think the RW is that intelligent.

They will just remember Clinton, BJ, vote Bush.

Instead of Bush is trophy hunting, AWOL, driving the usa into the ground, only cares about corporations, doesn't care about the men and women when they come home and can't fight for him anymore, doesn't care about veterans.

6. What are the lyrics to the "Sopranos" theme?

I haven't seen the show that much, but aren't they...

"Woke up this mornin' / And I got myself a gun..."
