Because they gave all of us the shocker over the last 8 years?

Wow, that is priceless.

I wonder if he knew what it meant, or if they told him it was something else...

After looking at the whole series of pics, that Bush guy really seems like someone to get a beer with. I'd vote for him now. Can we elect that guy?

Yeah, they're making W signs, and coz they think it'll make 'em look cool. Unfortunately it looks like something else.

Not shopped, but he's posing with the ASU track team, not White House staff.

Great! Someone HAD to come in and give a reasonable explanation for it. Jerk!

Seeing as they're from ASU, it is much more likely the "pitchfork". This (new window) is the best picture I found.

Yeah, the official White House website is in the habit of posting photoshopped pics of the President. Right. (Here's the page it came from.)

Track team? Look at the size of that woman on Shrubbie's right.

If that's a track team, she IS the track.

And the guy on the far right really looks like someone who runs track.

I think this must be the ASU donut eating squad.

I looked at it again, I just didn't think they could be that stupid.

I forgot who we were talking about. My error.

I kind of remember one of the Bush girls doing this early in Bush's presidency. It turned out to be a symbol for a Texas football team (high school or college) which is similar to what this is (new window)

Hardly, I expected nothing less than a "lick the V" gesture at a Proposition 8 is defeated/I hate my daughter rally.

Track != just running. There's shotput, javlin etc, ergo some large-size people on track teams.

Darn you and your fancy-schmancy "logical explanation!" It... actually, barely makes it any less funny. It's still a great picture.

It's called Sparky's pitchfork. It's supposed to represent this(p) guy.

You have to have been charged with something and found guilty in order to need pardoning. I'm sure on the Iraq issue alone, he could be found guilty of SOMETHING. But he hasn't been charged. He doesn't need to be pardoned.

I think he knows exactly what it stands for, he's going to use it in his farewell poster. Farewell poster, you ask? Am I the only one who remembers him buying 100,000 acres in northern Paraguay? That's the place bad rulers go when their country changes hands and comes after them. He knows once a constitutionalist gets into office, he's screwed.

I don't think you do. Departing pres has been known to give preemptive pardons, I am fairly sure.
