Was Clinton ever photographed with a halo?


As Bush constantly is? Can anyone find evidence that this is not a trope the media reserve for the Bush boy?

4. Oh, my G-d!
We can't let any Freepers see these photos side-by-side. They'd have a field day!

3. Whose genius idea was this photo?
It makes me sick to my stomach! He certainly doesn't deserve a halo.

8. Dems wouldn't have been suckered by halo photo ops.
I use my halo as a frisbee, and my husband uses his to hang his belts on in his closet.

11. This is no accident.
Bush's people set up the seal and position the photographers to create the shot in advance.

14. absolutely right, pa28
They don't leave things to chance. Vast amounts of money are spent making sure that everything is positioned just so. (He has a Hollywood designer on staff who arranges the camera angles for events like the Halifax speech, the aircraft carrier visit, and even this trip to Mt. Rushmore.)

17. This administration is the MASTER of political theatre...
they realize better than anyone that it's more important what it LOOKS like, than what it actually is. I don't know who their people are, but I wish we could f'n get some of them.

25. On the cover of the St. Petersburg Times
A similar picture is on the front page of the print version of todays St. Petersburg Times, Florida.

This newspaper used to be quit liberal, but lately has taken a sharp turn to the right.

The morning after the election, they proclaimed that it went off without a hitch. Since then not one word about fraud.

26. Nope, but he was the Duly Elected Leader of a Free Nation
However, Totalitarians from both past and present share a desire to be seen as Divinely Appointed.

Observe:



Things just don't much from one Right-Wing Tyrant to the next, do they?
