While the media were obsessed with Janet's abundance
The president put out a budget that featured 27 pictures of himself:
playing like a hero
playing like he's Jesus
playing like a cowboy

instead of the usual charts and graphs (which they probably, for good reason, didn't consider to be as attractive).

And meanwhile, the dollar hits a new low. And the fools sit and watch their tv boxes, and cheer when the stock market rises, even though usually a company's stock is going up because they just figured out a new way to fire American workers and pay desperate people in some other country $1.57 per hour.

But hey, we've got BIG AMERICAN BREASTS!

woohoo

about the pictures, are you? I mean, were you speaking figuratively, or were there actual PICTURES in the Federal Budget??? Come on, tell me you were kidding... (Am I totally uninformed, or just one big, fat gullible sucker???)

4. yeah, it's true
I think I heard it on NPR.

Photos of Bush with people in wheelchairs
Photos of Bush being kind to children
Photos of Bush serving rubber turkey to the soldiers in Iraq

In full, glossy color.

Republicans like pictures. Graphs are so confusing and depressing!

7.  check out the pics here
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy05/browse.html

The capture of Saddam, piles of seized Iraqi documents, bush talking to the elderly, bush with a child, bush taking a private moment to discuss Medicare, bush visiting a hunger center, bush signing the Patriot Act, bush discussing Faith Based, bush serving the troops, bush listening to those in need, the Secret Service protecting bush,..... omg

They must have blown the printing office budget with this picture book. The price of a printed book is $69, I'd love to know how many were handed out.

9. Krugman bitched about this in the NYT
in the last couple of days. He did a very nice job of using that issue to highlight the image juggernaut that the WH runs 24/7
