G.I. George: Bush stars as action figure

The Washington Post

Blue Box Toys
In September, KB Toys will begin selling an action figure depicting President Bush when he landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Holy photo op, Batman! The president of the United States has become a military action figure.

When President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln three months ago in a naval flight suit, many commentators believed that the image of the vigorous president on the aircraft carrier would figure prominently in his reelection campaign. What the commentators did not predict is that Bush would become his own G.I. Joe doll.

I bought one and mailed it to my nephew who is in ROTC in Germany (his father has 17 years of military service under his belt and he hopes to attend Westpoint)...with his aspirations to continue in his father's footsteps I thought it appropriate to give him this gift for Christmas!

From the article:

The company recommends that only those 14 and older use the Bush doll, which it says is an "adult collectible item" and emphatically not a toy. It may, in fact, pose a choking hazard for the president's Democratic opponents.

HEE HEE HEE. I gotta git me one.

Personally, I think a doll of Howard Dean in a dress would sell better.

The Governor of California is an action figure.
The President of the United States is an inaction figure.
