Bush Photo Embarrassment
What a nice little eye-opener. Do a search on "bush crowd" and "kerry crowd" in Yahoo News Photos, and what do you get?

Kerry in Portland, Grand Rapids, Bowling Green, Scranton...



Bush in Beaverton, Pensacola, Stratham, Saginaw...



Seriously, can these photographers work any harder to make Bush's "throngs" look bigger...love that blurred wide-angle lens shot.

1. I was threre!
In Grand Rapids. But you can't see me - I'm in the sea of people several hundred feet back from where the photo ends.

Bush's crowds might be bigger if he didn't make people promise to vote for him to see him. Let's hope he keeps turning away undecided voters!

3. Bush is SO thin-skinned
I'm sure that's why Tenet got canned. He offered a contrary opinion to Bush's lame one, and Bush's ego couldn't handle the truth.

I was very gratified to see the crowds at Portland stretch beyond the scope of CNNI's camera lens. It looked like a Stones' concert at Wembley Statium.

2. Thanks
I am glad someone put some pictures together.

You'd think the kerry campaign would do some ads with some of these shots.

Yoo hoo......Kerry campaign people...pay attention.

6. If you squint really hard
In the Bush crowds you can see signs that say, "I was hand-selected for this crowd."

It must consume a lot of time and money for the Bush staff to check out hundreds of people to make sure no real people get in to a Bush rally.
