Read the article. They said that did NOT use GWB’s head. This is somebody’s insane fixation.

“The last head on the left is George Bush,” says David Benioff, one of the show’s co-creators, in the DVD commentary.

“George Bush’s head appears in a couple beheading scenes,” adds co-creator D.B. Weiss.

“It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement,” explains Benioff. “It’s just, we had to use what heads we had around.”

In an interview with TheWrap earlier this year, Weiss and Benioff said they tried not to deliberately inject politics into their show, based on the novels of George R.R. Martin.

“We’re definitely not tempted to do anything consciously,” Weiss said. “Of course we’re voracious news readers and we live in the world and are very influenced by the world that we live in, so I think enough finds it’s way in that way – probably more than enough finds it’s way in that way. To try to do it on purpose seems like it would be a mistake.”

When the show’s creators revisit the scene in the DVD commentary, they make sure viewers notice the former Head of State.
