Your search challenge
Posted on:: November 1st, 2003

I didn’t look further.
I found this one.
Never mind whitehouse.gov–check out the animated “hunky sausage strut” at whitehouse.org.
I also like Tony Auth’s cartoon about Bush’s own military history.
Here’s a photo with the notorious “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” sign:

You folks are good. But I still don’t see the one where he’s just landed and his crotch is all a-bulging with success.

Nice seeing you at Pop!Tech this year. Would like have heard more about Dean and your work there.

Dave Weinberger goes looking for presidential moments of post-Iraq glory. Many photos are called but few are chosen….
