Never mind whitehouse.gov--check out the animated "hunky sausage strut" at whitehouse.org.

I also like Tony Auth's cartoon about Bush's own military history.

You folks are good. But I still don't see the one where he's just landed and his crotch is all a-bulging with success.

I've learned a lesson: don't trust Google's image search engine to turn up the best images.

Dave, thou seekest the bulge of success. Will this do:
