Drudge: George Bush depicted as Jesus in upcoming GQ

[qanda]

According to Drudge, George Bush* will be depicted as Jesus in an upcoming edition of GQ.

According to me, someone has lost their mind!

1. Humanity could be so nice, so Peaceful, so rewarding... BUT no, we had to

embrace fantasy and delusion

such a waste

[joefree1]

2. Somehow I see him different too.

3. I can't bring myself to click on Sludge

But if this depiction turns out to be the case, I hope any DUers who subscribe to GQ will promptly write to cancel their subscriptions and tell the editors why.

I can't think of anything more despicable than portraying the Sh*thead in Chief as Jesus Christ. The former is antithetical to everything the latter stood for.

To quote the character Frederick from Woody Allen's film "Hannah and Her Sisters":

"If Jesus Christ were alive today and could see what people are doing in his name...he'd never stop throwing up."

6. Bwahahahahahahaha

I fixed it so when my family tries to look at the Drudge Report, they get the Sludge Report instead.

I wonder how long it will take them to figure out this wasn't done by Internet hackers, but by someone a little closer to home. }(

11. Here's one from Dick Gregory.

If Jesus came back today we'd send him straight to the electric chair, and then everyone would be running around with little chairs around their necks.

4. GQ is a horrible mag anyway

I tried to read it once and found it to be boring garbage. I stick to Wired mostly as I find it the most interesting

[enki23]

5. satire, intended or not.

why not.

[qb]

7. Essay title: "George W's Personal Jesus"

which is, apparently, himself. It must be an article about megalomania.

[drscm]

19. Exactly my thought,

but you beat me to it.

[Minstrel Boy]

8. It's a good look for him,

though the long hair might erode his support in the skinhead constituency.

[meegbear]

9. NAIL SOME SENSE INTO HIM!!!

Bloody Romans! No sense of humor!

[demnan]

10. This is blasphemy!!!!!

I'm not even religious and I'm angry for the insult to Jesus!

[Brian Sweat]

14. We may be missing their point.

If there are saying that Bush sees himself as Jesus, it is not intended as an insult to Jesus, but to Bush.

[arcane1]

12. since he's depicted as Jesus daily by the press...

it's only natural to follow through to the logical end

and only natural to hurl, too

GQ, I BEG you to do this! PLEASE!!!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

13. puke alert!

[arcane1]

16. I'll make a bet right now:

remember the Bush as Uncle Sam pic, with the rolled-up sleeves ready to kick some ass? This ended up on freeper pro-war signs everywhere


how long until this becomes the latest freeper craze?

[meegbear]

18. Looks like a Landover Baptist pic ...

I hope Betty Bowers sees this!

[treepig]

20. that's my take on it

it's a parody of gwb's supposed religiousity (if that's a word).

it might even open some of the wingnut's eyes as to what a facade his whole christian experience is.

[prolesunited]

15. Remember those images

where the backdrops of a seal gave him a halo effect? They ran with those photos a couple of times. I'm at work so I can't get to them now, but I'm sure somebody knows what I'm talking about and perhaps would be kind enough to post them.

I think it would be good, though, if we did this. We would then have the opportunity to point out how different he is than Jesus and how he isn't really practicing Christianity -- well anything from the 2nd Testament anyway.

[Devlzown]

17. I'm not a religious person, but

that is just about the most blasphemous thing I've ever heard.
