Perhaps Bush is like THIS GUY:

If you've never seen the classic Star Trek episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" the Enterprise gets a series of transmissions, very intimidating, from this dude, who you never really see clearly cause there's always some kind of wavy interference going on the screen. Kirk and company go check it out and the scary dude is actually a puppet, a mockup. The actual enemy ship is run by a dude the size of a baby who uses the puppet to have a more intimidating "presence".



Anyway, Kirk and crew and baby all enjoy a glass of "Tranya" (which looks like Tang) and have a good laugh about the whole thing at the end.

Maybe the baby is Cheney, or Rove.

1. I remember that.
We used to have a contest in college where Star Trek (original) would come on, and the first person to name the episode would win. Honestly, there were some guys who could name it in the very first second.

4. He hasn't aged a bit!
Still looks exactly the same as he did in that episode!

6. Actually, you have it backwards.
We see the baby face, when in face the other face is the hidden and true one!
