The Big Lie In One Photo
This photo is a lie. These firefighters who wanted to help people were, instead, diverted so they could have their picture taken near GEORGE BUSH WHILE HE IS ROLLING UP HIS SLEEVES. It's a sickening photo that would shame most men, but not George Bush. His handlers are masters of this kind of Orwellian lie.
John Kerry never served in Vietnam. George Bush was a Vietnam war hero. It's the same story. No one is accountable, least of all George Bush.

He used the firefighters as props. Look at the photo and believe what your eyes are seeing.
Daily Kos
Watch the CSPAN video. Did you see the coverage of this on CNN when Bush was there?
The problem with government lies and propaganda like this is that they are designed for people to swallow them whole. It looks so good. It must be true. It's hard for most Americans to understand how these people think, and that they create lies like this. Too many people still look at Bush and think the King's clothes look great.
I couldn't agree with your post more. It is apropos that one staged photo could encapsulate an entire administration, an entire worldview. But there it is, in its perfect medium, the mindless mass media.
