    Bush with scary soundtrack

    Wow.

    On the one hand, I find it deeply ironic to watch footage of Bush -- the master of fear and packaging fear and generating fear -- accompanied by a scary soundtrack. (Especially rather benign footage of him just sitting, perhaps even thinking! Terrifying!) He should have that as his soundtrack always!

    On the other hand, as one who gave up TV 4 years ago and who never sees scary movies, watching Bush with that soundtrack just made me even more fearful than ever about our future of two more years at the mercy of his incompetence.

    I've heard lots of talk about emperors and new clothes, but I think it's clear to most of us who the real clown was at that table.
