My Cable Co had an HBO preview last weekend. I marathoned S1 and S2 of Thrones.

I didn’t even notice the GWB head. I recall several on spikes, but none, other than the main character who got beheaded, was showing that close or distinctive.

Since HBO is going to this extensive of an effort, apparently the inclusion was intended to be GWB’s head.

Thus, the inclusion was not done in a vacuum. It had to be designed, created, propped, and videoed. That would indicate that several people would need to have been involved.

Much ado about over-sensitivity by some immature people involved in the development and production of the scene.

George R. R. Martin (the author of the books) was rabidly anti-Bush. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his idea of a joke.
