Tussaud's turn Bush and Blair into pantomime cow

Thu Dec 15, 5:04 PM ET

LONDON (AFP) - Madame Tussaud's has turned US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair into a pantomime cow for their Christmas display, the waxwork museum said.

The world statesmen were dressed up as a cow from "Jack and the Beanstalk" in a new scene featuring characters from pantomime favourites at the popular London tourist venue.

Some other famous faces got a festive makeover.

"Friends" star Jennifer Aniston has been cast as Snow White, her ex-husband Brad Pitt as Prince Charming -- while his new love Angelina Jolie is the Wicked Stepmother.

Former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham, dubbed "Posh Spice", is clad in a tight cat suit and thigh-high boots as a "Posh in Boots" take on "Puss in Boots."

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is servant Buttons from "Cinderella".

The scene is on display until January 8.

Madame Tussauds were unavailable for comment on who landed the plum role of playing the back end of the cow.

This is what passes for "keen political commentary" in circles where no-talent hacks like Aniston and Pitt are considered royalty -- i.e., failed designers of retail store window displays.

One thing that's surprising: they didn't have Pres. Bush as the rear end. Poor Tony is the butt...

I may have to inspect this display...so I can protest the portrayal of the President, of course... :)

Freedom of the press and freedom speech are the biggest pains in the butt except for all the alternative.

God bless their rights and hopefully they understand that all those rights rest on the ability of the United Kingdom and their allies, like the United States to defend ourselves when attacked.

I don't know, the President's wax image seems to come off looking rather more like a confident cowboy than a parody.
