Laundering the Photo Op
At about 5:20 PM Sunday, a dear and close personal relative called me from the streets of Manhattan. He had just watched the Bushicade wending its way to the bald spot that was once the World Trade Center for a fifth anniversary photo op.
He called to report a phenomenon that he had never before observed, and found spooky. -- the street was lined with people hissing and booing the presidential motorcade. I haven't seen this reported in the papers or even on the internet , and I have every reason to believe my tipster. I, personally, find it heartening, but maybe it's just the neighborhood.
Bush ought to be celebrating. After all, 9/11 made our boy failure into a real American War President, and gave him the primary rationale for establishing the benevolent police state in which we now find ourselves. Actually, it's not that benevolent.
Photo note: Flag unfurled and reflected outside the local laundromat. Cleansing the story.
Addendum: Changing 9/11 history
