Notice Anything Wrong With This Bush Photo?
Edited on Thu Dec-16-04 08:20 PM by Placebo


President George W. Bush and Office of Management and Budget Director Joshua Bolton (C) talk to conferees, above a misspelled sign, at the White House Conference on the Economy in Washington, December 16, 2004. The White House went all out to showcase the advantages of U.S. President George W. Bush's ambitious financial agenda this week, but in the end the 'challenges' proved too much. The word 'challenges' -- a main theme of a two-day White House economic conference that ended on Thursday -- was misspelled on a large television monitor that stood in front of Bush during a panel discussion.

11. It appears to be real.
Go to www.reuters.com and search pictures for "Bolton."

It's funny, but nearly worthless politically.

13. They probably let the Boy King
browbeat some underling into spelling it "correctly."

His every whim and delusion is indulged, nobody dares challAnge him anymore. Like when he declared Sweden to be a neutral country without an army. Tom Lantos offered a gentle correction, saying he was probably thinking of Switzerland, though it has a national guard. Nope, it's Sweden. Neutral. No army. And that was that.

17. It's their mating call
poor spelling is the way they differentiate themselves from the liberals.
I learned to spell poorly if I wanted to keep from being kicked off right wing message boards.

22. The sign was created
by Bush's Minister for Propaganda and National Enlightenment.
He keeps a low profile. Here's a rare photo:
