I thought this looked like someone was about to drop a hood over him.

(Also, while at Oklahoma State, he received an honorary degree.)

That's quite common with executioners, actually.

And klansmen. But I think they prefer white. Except for the ones in "Blazing Saddles." They also had smiley faces on them.

Is it me, or does Bush look wasted in this picture?

To me it looked more like a hooding for Guantanamo or a rendition, like they're going to drop that hood over him and snatch him.

And, yes Ron, he does look look a little distant, but that's also his solemn face.

Yeah, he's wasted...a wasted brain that is.

Ah, man... you beat me to the line about Gitmo.

Same here. It looks like he is totally stoned and about to be "disappeared". If only we could be so lucky, on either count.
