This [photograph] got lost in the shuffle about two weeks ago.
Here's the caption:
"A police officer begins to lift a weapon toward protesters as
the presidential limousine drives past behind him Monday, Aug. 27,
2007, in Bellevue, Wash. President Bush arrived Monday afternoon
to headline a fundraiser for Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., just
hours after the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez."
<The protesters regarded as dangerous were chanting "Impeach Bush.">

President Bush, deeply unpopular in Washington state, arrived
Monday afternoon to headline a fundraiser for Rep. Dave Reichert, R-
Wash., just hours after the resignation of Attorney General Alberto
Gonzalez. The president, making one of his infrequent appearances
in a state that has trended Democratic in recent years, planned a
lightning quick visit to promote western Washington's only
Republican congressman. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
With all the talk these days about "iconic" photography, even given
the inflation of the term, I think this [photograph] fits the bill.
How can the Administration continue to get away with, well,
everything it gets away with?
I found this newswire shot a revealing, if slightly cinematic
symbolization of what underscores every gesture of Bush's
government-by-paranoia.
