At this past weekend’s birthday party for his wife, Barbara, George Bush Sr. proved he doesn’t need pills *cough* Bob Dole *cough* to get his geriatric machinery creaking to life. He also proved you don’t have to be the birthday boy to have the most fun at the party. Still, it’s clear that Barbara wasn’t about to be upstaged by her hubby—if you look at the picture above closely you can see the ex-First Lady tweeting on her BlackBerry: “My neck, my back…”
If nothing else, these birthday-bash photos (exposed by TMZ) serve as proof that presidents are regular people just like us. They like womanizing, boozing, smoking, and breaking the law. Unlike us, however, presidents always get away with it. Read on for more politically unfortunate photos that won’t be hanging in anyone’s Presidential library…

As another day slogs by in the seemingly interminable march toward Inauguration Day and the start of the The Sunshine and Puppies Administration, Bush the Younger has finally ended his silence and held his last press conference. Nothing too crazy happened'unless you count his using the word “misunderestimated,” which is pretty much par for the course with him'but it did give us occasion to root back through the past eight years and come up with the definitive catalog of his most greatest press conference performances of all time.
Watch them now and sound like a news junkie all week, and maybe even dazzle a young impressionable Obama volunteer who then lets you give her a Honolulu Mudslide in the break room at her student paper’s office…

If you’re not really into the “News” you may have missed this clip of an Iraqi journalist throwing his shoes at lame duck-president George W. Bush over the weekend. In Arab culture, throwing one’s shoes is the ultimate insult and expression of hatred, but Dubs shrugged it off basically saying “Hey, I get the middle finger all the time, and this a-hole couldn’t even hit me.” Ha. Wow.
Dear Iraqi journalist: what’s up with the brown slip-ons? If this was a pre-meditated event, which we are guessing it was, why didn’t you think about the footwear you were going to be throwing? You got global media coverage on this, homie! Next time, don’t let our President get the upper hand. Read on for our suggestions on shoes that are well-suited for chucking at politicians…

American people, you have spoken with your ballots, and look what it’s gotten you: a dildo modeled after president-elect Obama. What a proud moment for us all! it’s not the first time a politician–or any public figure, for that matter–has gotten their likeness jacked (no pun intended) for a sex toy.
Hell, 50 Cent used to talk about releasing a dildo of his own, but this is a whole other situation; someone’s getting the shaft here, that’s for sure. Click on for 5 shameful instances of (mostly unauthorized) celeb-themed adult novelties…

In this new weekly column, rapper John Brown'the self-proclaimed “King Of Da Burbz”'will be offering his insight into politics and current events to the Complex readers. Check out “Politickin With John Brown” every Thursday.
Everyone’s been praising Bush for his humane handling of the power transition, and I gotta give it to him. There’s so many things he could be pulling right now, but he’s suspiciously cooperative. I mean, he could have at least raised the terror alert to red. Started a new oil war? Outed a CIA agent who voted for Obama? Maybe it’s a testament to a “functioning” democracy but I think it has more to do with Dubya’s desire to get his post-Presidential life cracking and let the Barackracy begin. And to make sure he doesn’t pull any funny-style fourth quarter surprises, I’ve made a list of some career options once the Obamas evict his ass like a squatter in a foreclosed home…

Hey Dubya, thanks for the tax-rebate checks, although they really didn't help much now that a gallon of gas costs more than a 3-course meal off of McDonald's dollar menu.
The frustration of automobile-pushing Americans won't go away until the price of oil goes down. In New York, we've topped out at over $4 and the price continues to creep up. It's not just an NY thing though'all over the country fueling prices are f'ing absurd. To help drivers keep track, Gas Buddy has created a searchable map that shows a county-by-county breakdown of what U.S citizens are paying per gallon. After the jump, search for your zip code to see the prices.

Hipsters are good at “looking the part.” Even with extremely deep pockets, it ain’t easy to fit in while bumming around the Hamptons all summer. Luckily, donning a simple seersucker style will say it all. Consider the white and blue pin-stripe look this season’s cardigan: an old man trend that’s crossing over.
We will admit that the geriatrics are wise. Seersucker is one of the few materials that looks good wrinkled, simply because of the way the soft threads are manufactured. Take a good look at former president George Bush Sr. (above). Dude managed to pull off the relaxed look and still get his lapel popped by junior. So if you wanna live the good life (see: retirement), this might be for you. “HUMP” or “DUMP” the trend after the jump.

We don’t really watch those TV shows'you know, the ones where a chick gets a tummy tuck and a weave and then ends up crying into the mirror'but damn, this new D-I-Y virtual makeover site Taaz is kinda fun.
All you need is a headshot (of you, your girl, a celebrity), which you upload to their site. Taaz then lets you manipulate everything about their appearance: hair, makeup, contact lenses, eyelashes, skin tone, etc. We would rather make Dubya look like a boyband reject in drag, but its worth noting that this could actually be a useful tool for women who want to see how they look with different hair and makeup. Check out some more ridiculous celebrity makeovers from Taaz after the jump.
