I really think this Bush trip to Iraq will be seen as the political stunt

[cantstandbush]

it is.

1. Utterly desperate

This tells us how bad it must be in the White House.

Good. Good.

2. The Invading Chimperor plants his flag: Oil Profits Uber Alles

"I hereby attempt to claim this faraway foreign land in the name of the Skull & Boner Republicon Oil Cabal."

3. the media is going to spin this so much

enough to make me :puke:

[still_one]

4. not in the short term, the MSM will push it as far as they can

[deaniac21]

5. Ya think?

[gratuitous]

6. We'll see

This is just the sort of stunt the media have been absolute patsies for all through the corrupt Bush administration. Anyone want to put the over/under on when the first wingnut will declare (wrongly) that no Democrat has gone to Iraq?

7. Stunts

You seem to have more faith in the average American intellect than I do...because I think the average moron will be quite impressed with the little chimp strutting around so bravely now that the big bogeyman is dead. God, what a way to start the day. This is all too depressing for words.

10. Awe.

Welcome to DU nancyr.

8. imo the media lives in the same bubble Bush does, they are totally

out of touch with actual americans whom i believe will see this trip for what it is---a photo-op.

9. My current theme song for the media is "Lovefool"...

By the Cardigans.

It absolutely fits.

11. It would be if we had some MSM friends

if every talking head tonight led off with, "Mr. Bush took time off from his vacation to take a billion-dollar PR trip to Baghdad. Have you ever seen a president so desperate for approval?"

Instead Matthews will be sitting in his chair with a boner from looking at Deserter In Chief in a military costume.
