MediaWhoresOnline on SOTU-Drafting Photos
Just one more, please? From MediaWhoresOnline, a really amusing page that leads off with copies of publicity photos, including captions, from the official Whitehouse web site: Photos show Bush rewriting, revising speech (hm. and now that’s broken. you can try the current version of the White House page: Behind the Scenes: State of the Union Preparation).
See, it’s funny because of the way the White House spin machine at the time had an interest in playing up Bush’s personal involvement in crafting the speech, poring over every word to make sure it bore the stamp of his incisive intelllect and hands-on management style. Heh.
The page continues with lots more good, clean, partisan japery on the subject of the State of the Union address. Whee!
