And “Not all work that appears on US Goverment Websites is considered to be a US Government work” presumably was intended to mean that outside images appearing on a government site shouldn’t be construed as government images.

I wonder if they can demand that this be taken down as well. I guess one obvious difference is that the Bush billboard is not an ad but a political statement.
