In the most famous picture from his trip to Baghdad, President Bush had himself artfully photographed to look like he was serving turkey to the troops. The image was emblazoned on front pages throughout the country – and now appears to be an entirely false depiction.
According to the Washington Post, Bush was actually holding “a decoration, not a serving plate.” In other words, he was holding a prop, not real food, and thus only pretending for the cameras to be serving up the holiday meal.
There is also the sob story going around the web about how Bush started to cry when he saw the gathered troops cheering for him. (“You like me, you really, really like me.”) LBJ and Nixon are rumored to have experienced heavy hearts as they prolonged the situation in Vietnam as well. The man is not devoid of all emotion, just the important ones.
SJT on the topic:
“What disgusts me is not the inherent Axis Of Dishonesty of the Bush administration but their ham-handed and incompetent manner of doing it.”
