BUSH GETS ETCH-A-SKETCHED

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – President George W. Bush has something in common with Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln: He’s one of the few presidents who’s been immortalized on an Etch-A- Sketch. Well-known Etch-A-Sketch artist Nicole Falzone has just etched out Bush’s portrait and says the president’s face is one of the easiest celebrity faces she has ever created. Falzone says Bush’s close-set eyes and prominent mouth make him easy to distinguish in magnetic dust. It took her roughly eight hours to make the general etching, but she plans to dedicate about three more hours on details including his ears – which she claims “stick out.” So far, the Etch-A-Sketch honor has only been shared by just a few presidents: Jefferson, Lincoln, Harry S. Truman and George Washington.
