It was actually a severed head viewed in profile off to the side of the one being pointed to as Sansa's father, Eddard Stark (Sean Bean).  Without it being specifically pointed out in the DVD extras, there's no way anybody would've ever ID'd it as W. in the initial viewing, so their claim that they weren't trying to make any political statement is fairly believable (at least to a bleeding-heart Democrat like me...I have no doubt there will be at least *some* stink raised by some of the more conservative-minded).  :)

[I have to watch myself when clicking on a page to switch back to it on some sites... at Deadline they've put fixed banners for Touch on either side of the article.]

Creators Benioff and Weiss, in commentary on the show's season 1 DVD, noted that altho obscured by a cruddy wig and mud, the face on the severed head -- which the King describes to Sansa as being her father -- is that of George Walker Bush... they explain that the prosthetics are hired rather than purpose-built, and intended no malice to the Texan, but I imagine enough GOP types were steamed...  Deadline, Grantland

Over 100 comments to the Deadline story, many of them no doubt brought in
by a Drudge link.
