11. He should have been holding "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go NOW" by Seuss
Nixon resigned day after a journalist had Seuss rewrite the lines...somebody else will need to snag the pic from wikipedia and photoshop it onto the OP photo, of course substituting Bush for Marvin K


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_K._Mooney_Will_You_Please_Go_Now!

Some have suggested that Dr. Seuss wrote Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now! as a political allegory about Richard Nixon in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. This is unlikely, as the book was originally published in August, 1972, only two months after the Watergate break-in in June. Suggesting he could have written, illustrated, and published a book in under 2 months in the 1970s is extremely unlikely; moreover, there was no evidence yet to tie the White House to the burglaries.
However, two years later, when Seuss was challenged by political columnist Art Buchwald for never having written a political book, Seuss took a copy of the book and crossed out "Marvin K. Mooney" and wrote in "Richard M. Nixon." Buchwald was so delighted, that with Seuss' consent he printed the text as his column for July 30, 1974. Nixon resigned nine days later on August 8.
Some of Seuss' other work, such as The Butter Battle Book, was clearly political.
