Where's pic of Bush in a Helmet and flak jacket? |
Where's the photo of Bush in a helmet and flak jacket?
http://mediamatters.org/items/200606140005
A photo of White House counselor Dan Bartlett and press secretary Tony Snow
in helmets and flak jackets for a helicopter ride between Baghdad
International Airport and the U.S. embassy has been widely circulated on the
Internet and appeared on Page Two of The Washington Post, accompanying a
"Washington Sketch" column by Dana Milbank. The photo raises a question: Did
President Bush wear similar protection when he was transported around
Baghdad, and, if not, why not? If so, where is the photo?
Assuming that the president of the United States received at least as much
protection as two high-level aides, it is understandable that the White
House would not want a photograph of Bush similar to that circulated of Snow
and Bartlett. First, it reminds the public of how dangerous Iraq is. Second,
as Milbank put it, "the result was more Michael Dukakis than Mission
Accomplished."
But why would the media agree not to take such a photograph -- or if they
took it, not publish it?

The reason is simply that he looks too much like Alfred E Neumann in
such drag.

Possible captions:
"It did not take long for Bartlett to identify who crapped their pants."
"Everything was going well until Snow yelled out "I am going to hurl!!"
