George Bush and Janet Jackson

Quickly now, what's the connection between George Bush and Janet Jackson?

Answer: They both have boobs that get edited out after the fact.

Yes, while TV land is busy censoring Jackson's star spangled boobs it appears its also got the video chopping block working full whack on Bush's boobs. Unfortunately for GWB there's still this embarrassing thing called raw footage that lingers on. As a recent article at Alternet describes, Bush not only says bizarre things that never make it onto the news, he also does them. Like cleaning his glasses on a strangers sweater without even asking.

Bush does this so often that Dave Letterman has created a segment just for them - Stupid President Tricks. One of the reasons that Letterman ends up airing such content without invoking the wrath of corporate media is that Letterman's show is owned and controlled by Letterman himself. Therefore CBS can't tell him what to do on his show without risking loosing Dave, the show and all its ratings. Smart move Dave.
