An iconic report card
by digby
For those who weren’t following the news of those days, it’s hard to get just how giddy and sycophantic the press corps was toward these endless phony-baloney presidential photo ops. The “secret drop-in” in the dead of night to serve the troops Thanksgiving dinner was especially bad. And Atrios memorialized it with that “self-evaluation” report card (which had been in the news as an unrelated story).
*I don’t know if everyone also recalls that the famous image of Bush serving the turkey was actually a picture of him carrying a decorative turkey centerpiece. The revelation of this fact evidently still irks the right wingers, which makes me happy.
