Anyone Notice...

How W bears all the character flaws of all of the major characters of the Wizard of Oz?

Cowardly Lion: He can't face his critics.
Scarecrow: Big time dullard.
Tin Man: Heartless.
Wicked Witch: Evil bastard known to have little care or mercy.
Dorothy: Runs away a lot, going AWOL and all that, as well as thinking there's no place like home, what with all the ranch vacations he takes.
Wizard: Hides behind a big propaganda machine.

Well, all we can hope is that there's a hot air balloon lying around waiting to take him back to Crawford.

2. Oh that is very good

Excellent comparison. Now we just need the Photo shopper pros to make this a reality.

3. I was hoping to inspire someone...

I seem to lack the talent for Photoshopping.

7. ROFL!!!

Indeed, lowly munchkin taxpayers
lining the pockets of the green zone
emerald city embassy builders in Iraq...
Pathetic, isn't it?
"We represent the lolly-pop kids,
the lolly pop kids,
the lolly pop kids..."

As in civilian SUCKERS who will never recover
from these flying monkey criminal corporate McChimpster cabal!

8. And like Toto, * even often seems to...

spend alot of time licking his own family jewels; as seen in his overweening self-satisfaction.
