i knew it! it looks like bush's new ad - which includes images of him making his state of the union address (complete with swelling music to underscore the severity the leadership role) - was faked!

i had a feeling as we see portions of bush's speech intercut at about 3 intervals during the ad. you see two people behind him, hands and feet because the shot is from an overhead angle; there was something too simple about it. and bush's performance was too presidential and grave; there was nothing of the smug, smirking chimp we all witness every day.

now people are starting to say this footage was re-shot for the ad.
oops.
(the republican national party says they just tweaked the audio and video. yeah. right.
it's still a big fuckin' oops.)

the photo-op/videotape president strikes again.

if you've got a president who stumbles on every other word his speechwriters give him, just don't re-shoot the footage from his most well-publicized speech, okay? thanks.
