82. fabricated photo ops or delusional
Edited on Thu May-15-08 11:44 AM by merh


2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.


The fine line she is allowed to walk - is it group think, does the rest of her campaign staff share her unique perspective or are they just afraid to tell her the truth?
