So put your facetious 'black helicopter' and Elvis sighting comments on a
shelf and deal with the reality of the situation--Dubya's premise was
flawed, and events *may* have been "Hollywood"-ed up a bit--Dubya's landing
on the aircraft carrier?  At best it was a waste of taxpayers money to make
a flashy entrance--at worst, it was a waste of taxpayers money to make a
flashy entrance that may help Dubya get re-elected.

This criticism still amazes me, although it wasn't unexpected. Presidents,
and other political leaders have been misusing taxpayer money on these kinds
of things for years. If Bush was simply looking for a photo-op he would have
done this in the prime time, not at 3pm.

You mean like when he landed on the aircaft carrier? ;)
