Barack Obama keeps desperately pounding the entertainment industry's ATMs in Hollywood and Manhattan, while our manufacturers of make-believe have absolutely refused to expel their vicious hatred of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. You wonder if, on any level, Obama is upset or chagrined or even embarrassed. Two examples have shown their ugly heads -- one of them severed.

HBO -- with Bill Maher as the face of their political analysis is a global leader in burning Bush-Cheney hatred -- expressed surprise and embarrassment when it was discovered their violence-drenched series "Game of Thrones" included a scene with a model of Bush's disembodied head on a spike.

"We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste," HBO said in a statement. "We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this inadvertent careless mistake. We are sorry this happened and will have it removed from any future DVD production."

This would seem to be a rather dramatic departure for HBO, which regularly refuses to apologize for excesses, such as when Bill Maher had transcended his normal venom by expressing disappointment Dick Cheney didn't die in an assassination attempt in Afghanistan, since if Cheney "did die, other people, more people would live. That's a fact."

1. When I heard this I wondered

Why the double standard? Why didn't the same people who are outraged about the Bush head (which as far as I know was not identified as bush) not have such a reaction to the hanging of Obama (which was labeled as Obama).

I saw a pic of the head, yes it did resemble Bush, but before I was told it looked like Bush I didn't notice.
