      HBO apologized Wednesday amid outrage that "Game of Thrones" features former President George W. Bush's severed head impaled on a spike.

      In commentary for the DVD of the first season, one of the writers admits that the Republican's likeness "appears in a couple of beheading scenes" but insisted no one is playing politics.

      "We just had to use whatever head we had around," the writer says without explaining where the prop came from.

      The presidential noggin, topped with straggly hair, appears for a just a second in an episode of the fantasy series that aired last year, when spoiled child king Joffrey shows Sansa Stark a line of heads on spikes.

      The mention of Bush's head went unnoticed until a Reddit user flagged it, bringing swift condemnation.

        They got their hand caught in the cookie jar. And yes, Joffery would be at least this "wussy".

        • No, they should absolutely have apologized. I'm sure that this was the action of an idiot effects guys and not some grand political conspiracy by the producers, but they employ the idiots and put the product out under the names of the producers and the studio and aired it on HBO-- they're all guilty by association and were right to issue the apology.
