Bump!
I wonder if the man has thought about contacting his Senator or Congressman? Or perhaps a talkshow host such as Rush or Sean?

Thanks. I hope that the rug will have an explanation of all the symbols on it. I see Jesus on top and the two lions are very cool.

Gile was astonished when he saw the hand-knotted rug, a portrait of Bush, filled with Christian and Catholic symbolism. Filling the center of the rug is an incredible likeness of Bush, dressed in religious vestments, standing at a podium decorated with the official seal of the country and flanked by two waving American flags.

Directly above Bush is Jesus with a sacred heart and stigmata carefully knotted into the rug's pattern. The rug also shows cherubs and, apparently in an homage to both Bush and a fallen Northern Alliance leader, two lions.

It's a prayer rug, alright.

That is amazing.

The rugs made in Afghanistan (war rugs) are so picturesque but I've never seen anything coming out of there that is this nice.

What a tribute!
