So we can topple it in an inspiring photo op when he goes down with his whole idiot crew.

1. I suggest it be a hot air balloon! Although, on second thought
I really love hot air balloons. Forget that suggestion. Can you create a statue of a vacuum?? With a cowboy hat on it?

3. B* head and shoulder shaped urinals? For that satisfying relief.

12. Something similar to your idea was done in Belgium when Bush was there.
Brussels
WHEN JOHAN VANDE LANOTTE, Belgium's Vice Prime Minister, goes to the toilets today, he finds the urinals in the offices of his ministry decorated with stickers. They show an American flag and the head of George W. Bush. "Go ahead. Piss on me," the caption says. Vande Lanotte is one of Bush's hosts in Brussels. Is peeing on your guest's head appropriate? In Belgium it is. After all, Brussels' best known statue is that of "Manneken Pis," a peeing boy.

The piss stickers, specially made to be used in urinals, can be seen these days in the public toilets of Belgian schools, youth clubs, and pubs. They were designed by Laurent Winnock, president of the Young Socialists, the youth branch of Vande Lanotte's Socialist party. Winnock did his creative work during his office hours, which would not be worth mentioning if Winnock did not work in the offices of Vice Prime Minister Vande Lanotte, as one of his press spokesmen.

4. But Richard "Prince of Darkness" Perle said there'd be a statue of bush
in downtown Baghdad by the summer of 2003. Musta been toppled the same day.

7. Cool Idea, More Symbolic That Burning in Effigy
How about putting it in a parade first, so people can paintball it or something?

14. That was my thought
Leave it up, inside a giant cage, with lots & lots of pigeons.

15. It should stand in the city dump.
That's an appropriate moral metaphor.
