Those of us who live in London will be able to show our support of two great statesmen at the same time when President Bush visits the City that crowned Boris Johnson as Mayor.
Boris has previously voiced support for George Bush and the decision to invade Iraq but he has also quite viciously condemned him.
correction : according to his own newspaper, The Daily Telegraph here. This seems to be taken out of context from The Spectator but what’s good enough for The Telegraph to publish is good enough for me 
To show my appreciation of his change of heart I have created (using a genuine Boris Johnson quote) a couple of DRAFT posters – maybe buttons or banners for websites so that President Bush can clearly see how the Mayor of London (sometimes) feels about him.
I’ll be a bit busy over the next day, producing a special version (obviously using a silhouette created from scratch) of this which you may see travelling around London and/or in various media but will do my best to tidy up the drafts and produce different sizes if the demand is there.

I’d like to borrow that image for my blog – full credit etc, will be given, as is only fair and right.
Well, ain’t it funny how things turn out…?
I think Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson might get in some trouble for that, I mean, is he technically cross eyed?
Mark,
Help yourself.
Hope you don’t mind but I’m having that and may also make a poster out of it and put it in me window in North London.
Thank’s a load!
Nice one
is he technically cross eyed?
Maybe not, but I’ve heard he’s technically from Connecticut, not Texas.
Sadly, although it’s a genuine Boris quote (from a 2003 Spectator leader) he was using it as a straw man to attack anti-Bush demonstrators who held such views as nasty, ungrateful and infantile, using the usual right-wing talking points.
He’s changed his mind a few times since then, but there’s this for an alternative view, from 2004:
“Bush has at least this merit: that he has cut taxes and had the guts to remove two murderous regimes.”
Of course, back then the Iraqi dead was only in six figures or so and the US deficit wasn’t quite so enormous, so we can forgive the lovable floppy haired fellow a few indiscretions…
Tom – I’ve made a small correction but am happy to put on a poster what The Telegraph is prepared to publish.
After all, Boris is The Telegraph’s poster boy
