FLIGHTSUIT-IN-CHIEF!

The thing is, pictures of Bush on the aircraft carrier strutting around among real heroes acting as if he were one of them, are all over the place. It's part of the campaign to give him four more years to further ruin America and any other country that can't or won't duck.

So we should help spread the idiocy of that farcical photo-op by making copies of the pictures and affixing the label: Flightsuit-In-Chief on them and putting them in all the rychus places.

Especially now while the fracas out in California is working in Bush's favor. Media infatuation with Arnold is taking the heat off Bush. Evidently reporter's attention span is so short that they cannot pursue the lies and misdirection of the Flightsuit-In-Chief at the same time they are covering a recall / election.

When something as mundane as a movie star running for governor trumps the very Oval Office resident that owns the media, how can any of us feel safe from the other terrorists?

So it behooves us all to bring the media attention back where it belongs. We must blanket the media with faxes, letters and phone calls. Remind them, since they seem to have forgotten, that Bush is much sexier than Arnold is. Send them the captioned picture.

The Brits showed us the way by using the term "sexed up" which means intelligence / information that is exaggerated. One might also say that such hyped up information has been viagrized. The American media will pounce onto this as they always do whenever "sex" appears.

Remember how Bush sexed up his compassionate conservative dossier when he was campaigning? Just recently, health and education reports have been viagrized to emphasize the Bush agenda.

Recent appointments are sexed up too. A man whose environmental credentials were slim to none was just nominated to fill the environmental cabinet post vacated by Christie Whitman.

Photo ops are sexed up when Bush makes a pronouncement designed to show he's no light-weight when it comes to intellectual reasoning. The most recent occurrence was when he shared with us the fact that removing trees by big corporations would prevent forest fires.

And how about the big one where both he and Tony sexed up reasons for invading Iraq? Of course great media play was given to sexing up the Flightsuit-In-Chief at his carrier landing and the subsequent parade of his sexed up package.

Anyone entertaining the idea that it is mean to call attention to Bush's play acting attire might reflect on Newt Gingrich's advice to Republicans before the 1994 congressional elections. He wrote: "the R's should describe their D opponents -- no matter who they were or what their records -- as 'sick, 'pathetic,' 'bizarre,' 'twisted' and 'traitors'."

That is really sexing things up. Whew! Time for a cold shower -- right after we viagrize a bunch of carrier pictures with the caption, FLIGHTSUIT-IN-CHIEF!
