Waxworks visitor casts vote early (Pres. Bush's likeness damaged by vandal)

President Bush's wax likeness is taking a thumpin' these days at Madame Tussaud's celebrity waxworks in Las Vegas.

Bush's head suffered about $25,000 in damages when a Madame Tussaud's visitor attacked it the day before last week's elections.

"No one's pushed one over before," said Jack Taylor, spokesman for the tourist attraction.

Bush has needed repairs a number of times, mostly from having his nose pinched, Taylor added.

"This was the most damage" to one of the wax figures, he said. "People are always touching them, but this was pretty rare."

The wax creations, ranging from John F. Kennedy to George Clooney to porn star Jenna Jameson, cost between $200,000 and $250,000 to produce.

The back of Bush's head was damaged in the fall, "but he's been back on his feet for several days now," Taylor said.

Bush Derangement Syndrome strikes again! This type of thing makes me optimistic about our chances in 2008. Clinton, Pelosi and Reid aren't going to be able to keep the nutroots quiet for 2 years, mark my words!

If it was Shrillary's dummy, the headline would say "HATE CRIME!"

It shows the difference between the Left & the Right. We would never do that to the Clintons. Keep it up Lefties! Thanks for the help!

Yeah! And everyone would be right on it!

Remember how they would say conservatives were soooo immature for opening up Bubba's wax figure's zipper?

I don't think a conservative would have pulled down the faux Clinton's zipper. A lib would think that doing that was homage to ol' BJ!

Maybe so, but I remember that it got blamed on conservatives.

Doesn't everything get blamed on conservatives?

And that, as you know, is Bush's fault...

The Bush wax image in the NY Tussauds was close to the Hillary one. They made her look mighty presidential, as I recall - probably yearning for the day they could move her into the presidential spot. Hope the Hillary image goes into the storeroom in 2008 instead!

We would never do that

- spit on returning soldiers
- burn an American flag
- protest wounded soldiers recuperating in the hospital
- be disgusted by the # of flags seen on other cars during commute
- demand children are exclusively taught the USA is evil
- alieve ourselves of guilt by shaming fellow Americans
- trash, burn, and splash blood on military recruitment offices
- rip a pro-American sign out of the hands of a three year-old

I have seen all of these things, and more....but never by a conservative.

Patriotism can be measured.

That was my point. I'm not a Lefty, nor Liberal. I'm right wing all the way...and a veteran (US Army)!

I know. I only meant to agree.
