WTF Is It Now?!?

Bubble-boy does Britain
"Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, captured the spirit of the moment when he told NPR that the Republican National Committee should foot the bill for Mr. Bush's extraordinary security, the largest police operation ever in Great Britain. All this, he harrumphed, 'just so George Bush can use a few clips of him and the queen in his campaign advertisements for re-election next year.' There was a dispiriting contrast between GWB shutting out the world and avoiding the British public, and the black-and-white clips this week of J.F.K. reaching out to the world and being adored by Berliners. There was also a dispiriting contrast between the Bush administration, hiding the returning coffins of U.S. soldiers and avoiding their funerals, and the moving pictures of the Italian politicians and people, honoring their dead with public ceremonies and a week of mourning. The bubble in London is just an extension of the bubble the Bush team lives in at home." - - Maureen Dowd.



Slightly surreal comment this morning from one of the callused-palmed mouthbreathers at RimJob's fretard site: he "was struck with the vision of Jackie Kennedy-ish style of Mrs. Bush." Funny, I don't remember Jackie ever looking like a just-pithed trailer-park Disney-figure on acid.
