Bush’s fake turkey fiasco

Mike Allen of The Washington Post reported yesterday that during George’s visit to Iraq, he attended a Thanksgiving dinner with the troops. The published photo of him holding a turkey has been in literally every news magazine. However, this photo is a fraud. Bush’s camp has stooped so low as to use a prosthetic turkey to make their photos look better than they really are.

I’ve been annoyed with Bush’s usage of words behind him as he speaks but this new tactic takes the cake. Throughout his presidency, Bush has put up signs of “Mission Accomplished” or “Economic Recovery” behind him while speaking in a not-so-subtle attempt to burn these messages into the sub-conscious of the viewer. Now with the turkey blunder, isn’t it time to give it up?

President Dean wouldn’t do something like that…
