My favorite staged bush* photo op was the entire Crawford "ranch," you know the place where ol Gee-Dubya* did all his brush clearin'.

I loved press conference time when the Fourth Estate prestitutes would saunter out to the half barn set-up with bales of hay from the Prop Dept. Dead-eye cheney* would stuff himself into his stretch jeans and the Secret Service would go to the farm next door and borrow a few head of cattle. Yes-sir-ee, those were the days!

I am appalled that Lyin' Ryan and his entourage, including his children, literally muscled themselves into the charity kitchen just for the photo op..."a picture of a man treating a kitchen that feeds hungry people as if it were a movie set."

Appalled.
