Bush's meticulous advance team leaves no detail to chance in their pursuit of the perfect Potemkin presidency. Even if the "Mission Accomplished" sign dropped down from the Heavens as a gift from God, the president's staff made the decision to make it the central element of their photo op and declare to America and the world that the Iraq War was a done deal and our side won. For them to run away from the consequences of that decision, now that it has proven to be laughably inaccurate, demonstrates yet again the hollow nature of this White House.

Even when all the evidence indicates that the President was 100% correct about it being the Navy's idea, one NYT reporter decides that she just _HAS_ to feed her dirt-hungry followers with more inconsequential non-information. And, not surprisingly, her mind-numbed faithful dutifully and gleefully eat it up -- even when they know there is no substance. Very sad. But you folks are a real hoot to watch. Please keep up the great work! “I realize the story is completely trivial”
