cool vs dorky idiot

From Sadly No!


George Bush screwing up a basic open G chord on a cheesy Presidential-seal guitar, unprepared for balladeering without pick or strap, right hand splayed with thumb twiddling horizontally on low E string

John Kerry correctly playing a G barre chord on a vintage Gibson ES-125, properly equipped with pick and strap, demonstrating mastery of right-hand palm-muting technique

----

Ah, what could have been!

Kerry actually played in a garage band in the 60's, while bush was just doing the drugs and alcohol, without the benefit of rock'n'roll!
