That video (that series of videos) probably cost more than we can 
imagine and probably more than anyone on this board has spent in a 
year on his own work.  And to make matters worse, it was hoakey.  The 
awe-shucks sensibility that pervades it is so tiresome and 
hackneyed.  Do you think that Bush read his lines for it moments 
before or after he committed to actions that would lead to thousands 
of more people being killed?  There's something pathologically 
disconnected about its aesthetic.  We see, yet again, Bush sitting 
among the children.  Maybe he's trying to tell us somethnig.  Maybe 
he knows what some of us won't admit: he belongs at the kiddie table.
