"POLITICAL THEATER" !!!!!!!!!!!
Somewhere today the word "irony" in a dictionary exploded. I'm sorry Mr. Bush, but I've got your "political theater" right here:

Today:


Thanksgiving Day in Iraq:


Mission Accomplished:


Flightsuit:


Your bullhorn moment:


Katrina:


There's tons more that I don't have the time to post. Feel free to add your pics of Bush's "political theater" here.

Lord Bush in his natural environment, clearing brush.

Lord Bush rolls up his sleeves to get busy saving New Orleans.

of the same servicemen in the background, as I recall. There's an extra layer of phony on that one.

24. And here, an example of Shrub having no clue how to act


On the tragic morning of 9/11, while at a school in Sarasota Florida, Shrub is told of the 2nd attack on New York City.

He continued reading to the second graders.

No theatrical consultants here...

25. Bad Theatre
"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.

The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

33. Note the impeccable, artful arrangement of the boxes.
Having them all stamped "Made in the USA" would be too obvious-even KKKarl knows that.

48. A Legacy Built From Cardboard
On January 22, 2003--fifteen weeks before announcing the end of major combat operations in Iraq in front of a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner--President Bush gave a speech on his economic stimulus plan in a Saint Louis warehouse. Behind him was backdrop that read "STRENGTHENING AMERICA'S ECONOMY" over a background of cardboard boxes marked "MADE IN U.S.A."

As it turns out, there was a problem with this backdrop. It was later discovered that the boxes behind the backdrop and to either side of the backdrop were, in fact, made in China. Those boxes that were not obscured by the backdrop had pieces of paper affixed to obscure the "Made in China" labels. The White House later blamed these pieces of paper on an "overzealous advance volunteer."

46. Why has it been that THIS man,
more than his father, even more than the sainted REAGAN, inspired people to put up signs and stickers affirming (reaffirming) him as "The President," "Our Leader," etc.? Perhaps because they knew (perhaps even unconsciously) that his elections were not legitimate and that he was not competent?

Anyone who's ever been thru an army mess line knows they won't have the turkey still waiting to be carved.

Unlike Congress, which is apparently waiting a long time before carving up that plastic turkey.
