‘Game of Thrones’ put George W. Bush’s head on a stake

One of the many decapitated heads that appeared on “Game of Thrones” last season was a prop likeness of former President George W. Bush, its creators revealed in a DVD commentary.

In the tenth episode of the first season, Sansa Stark looks at several heads on spikes. One belongs to her father, Ned, and another to the former United States president.

…”The last head on the left is George Bush,” says David Benioff, one of the show’s co-creators, in the DVD commentary.

“George Bush’s head appears in a couple beheading scenes,” adds co-creator D.B. Weiss.

It’s not a choice, it’s not a political statement,” explains Benioff. “It’s just, we had to use what heads we had around.

They couldn’t find another head? Imagine the outrage if it was Bill Clinton or Barack Obama’s head.
