maybe ozzy talks some sense into the guy or one way or another works some magic on him. biting his head off won´t be a solution to the problem. there´s more where bush came from.

ALEX DOES 'DUBYA'!!
April 1: Comic book superstar Alex Ross has been selected to paint the official White House portrait of President George W. Bush. The announcement was made last night in an Oval Office ceremony with President Bush, his parents, and Ross attending.
The President said he was impressed by Ross' work on the official Academy Awards poster and that he hoped the painting would reflect "the true spirit of America".
Ross told reporters that he was planning a realisticly painted variation of the cover to THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS #3, which was created in 1987 by Frank Miller, with Bush as the BATMAN figure. Ross said he would be posing and photographing the President while he was in Washington DC, to prepare the first preliminary sketches.
According to the White House Press Secretary, Ross was selected after the President's mother, Barbara Bush, saw his work in the KINGDOM COME graphic novel. FULL STORY: THE WASHINGTON POST |
