Bill Clinton got his rocks off in the Oval Office and lied about it to the American people. He nearly got impeached.

George Bush got his rocks off in Iraq and lied about it to the American people. He got a souvenir.

A handgun that Saddam Hussein was clutching when U.S. forces captured him in a hole in Iraq last December is now kept by President Bush at the White House, Time magazine reported Sunday.

[…] Bush shows Saddam’s gun to select visitors, telling them it is unloaded, both now and when Saddam was captured, Time reported. “He really liked showing it off,” Time quoted a visitor who had seen the gun as saying. “He was really proud of it.”
