G.I. Joe could kick his ass

Un-freaking-believable.

BBI proudly introduces the latest issue in its Elite Force series of authentic military 12- inch figures, President George W. Bush in naval aviator flight uniform. Exacting in detail and fully equipped with authentic gear, this limited-edition action figure is a meticulous 1:6 scale recreation of the Commander-in-Chief's appearance during his historic Aircraft Carrier landing.

Coming soon, the George W. Bush Texas Air National Guard figure (image not available) and the George W. Bush DWI action figure, complete with Maine arrest report.

You know, I'm as much for holding our national leaders to a higher standard as anybody, but come on - bitching about a 1976 DWI in Kennebunkport is about as valid as bitching about 19 year olds having sex in Ft. Lauderdale in March...

I wonder what other action figures we might get from past presidents...

You're missing the point. They made Bush into an action figure for, essentially, being a passenger. Why not commemorate him with something he actually did?

And getting a DWI when you're 30 years old hardly rates in the same "youthful indiscretion" category as college students partying during Spring Break.
