I find it hard to enjoy the Good one with Dick Cheney looking over my shoulder...

From Slate:
The Lord taps Dubya on the shoulder with an assignment:
Southern Baptist leader Richard Land recalls the afternoon of Bush's second gubernatorial inauguration, when Bush gathered a few trusted colleagues in his office to announce, "God wants me to be president."
On other denominations:
Bush confided to Herman, he still believed that salvation must be a prerequisite for eternal life. Unable to believe his luck, Herman printed this scoop, to great public outcry: Apparently the Muslims, Jews, and nonbelievers of Bush's constituency were perplexed to learn that their prospective governor had just condemned them to eternal damnation. Bush never apologized or recanted; he simply avoided the subject, and yet still managed to take the state in a landslide.
On literature:
[Bush] once brandished a copy of it during a speech on federal funding for faith-based charities, saying, "This is the only handbook you need. This handbook is a good go-by." As the Rev. Welton Gaddy, leader of a liberal Christian coalition, points out, in a nation founded on freedom of religious practice, promoting the Good Book as a manual for public policy is a disquieting choice. Especially since, of the $100 million so far dispensed to faith-based charities by the Bush administration, not one dollar has gone to a Jewish or Muslim organization.

I believe that by closely examining both pictures, one could deduce that the titles of the pictures should be "no bush" "bad bush"...

It could also read:
"Camel Toe" "Camel....uh, just camel, oh, never mind."
Damn, you can lip read on both pics. Dubya seems to be saying "Pffffffrrrrrrrrt"

"he still believed that salvation must be a prerequisite for eternal life"
sal·va·tion
1. Preservation or deliverance from destruction, difficulty, or evil.
2. A source, means, or cause of such preservation or deliverance.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't death be a kind of destruction ie; destroying your life? Concordantly, wouldn't salvation from said destruction give you eternal life? Just a thought.

I think the author uses salvation as an Evangelical Christian: if one shall accept Jesus Christ as one's personal savior then God shall bring ye into his presence for all eternity.
(Or an army of people that pick up thine old clothing and grant them to the poor.)

There is no such thing as good bush. Grooming is an absolute requirement!
