Over the past five years, George W. Bush's handlers have done a remarkable job of posing him in front of scenes that make him look presidential, stately, even saintly. But for last night's speech at Fort Bragg, someone arranged a very different backdrop. Now, these things are not left to chance. A speech like this one is planned long in advance, and the backdrops are carefully chosen. The halos and orbs around Bush's head are designed to be seen by the subconscious mind. Someone has to have noticed that the Commander in Chief has a giant pair of mouse ears. So the question becomes, who in the White House wants the President to look like a fool? PS: Joe Gandelman has the real text of the speech. I thought his draft was more interesting.
