Bush Keeps Saddam Gun at White House
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20040531/od_nm/bush_saddam_gun_dc

A handgun that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) was clutching when U.S. forces captured him in a hole in Iraq (news - web sites) last December is now kept by President Bush (news - web sites) at the White House, a spokesman confirmed on Sunday.

Time magazine, which first disclosed the gun's location, said military officials had it mounted after it was seized from Saddam near his hometown of Tikrit last year, and soldiers involved in the capture gave it to Bush.

--snip--

Bush shows Saddam's gun to select visitors, telling them it is unloaded, both now and when Saddam was captured, Time reported.

"He really liked showing it off," Time quoted a visitor as saying. "He was really proud of it."

It's good to know that Shrubya is proud of his souvenir he gets for spending billions and killing 800 Americans. He still is such a kid at heart, don't you think?

1. Federal law
prevents Bush from keepingthe gun. If a gift to him has a cash value above as certain level, he has to turn it in to the GAO.
This gun obviously has historical value and at auction would sell for many thousands of dollars.
Bushy is going to have to give it back.
Awwwwww, poor baby.

pistol--not to mention the killing of thousands of innocent Iraqi people.

I am inclined to think he like that image of himself as the killer of thousands of people--it makes him feel like he is in charge like his codpiece is bigger than anyone else's because that is the way he measures his worth--by his codpiece , and being able to murder thousands of people and prance around air craft carrier decks sporting his big codpiece. I do think it comes very near Hitleresque except I think Hitler had only one testicle--that of course, is a speculation based on rumor.

This shallow, ignorant man who stole our country by bullhying his way to the White House without being actually elected, is pathetic--Not an ounce of substance to him.

5. I wonder if he plans on using it...
Shawshank style?

ps...just want to add:

It's not the size of the codpiece that matters, it's the contents.
