All the praise and compassion heaped on Dear Leader turns out to be another phoney, staged event. Like Cindy Sheehan, this guy travels all the way to Washington, D.C., with the hopes that he can meet with the chimp. Pretty confident too.

You can see why TV loves this story (the guy's named 'Rockey,' for cryin' out loud!), because to those who pay casual attention, i.e., the vast majority of viewers, the parallels to another news story are striking.

It was exactly one year ago that the headlines were all about Bush, on another lengthy vacation in Crawford, refusing to meet with an average American who was devastated by a tragedy -- Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq. It was a publicity bloodbath, and it rolled right into the horrors of Katrina and a seemingly indifferent White House, beginning the long slide in Bush's approval rating.

Now comes Rockey, a plain-talking character who lost it all in Katrina, who nearly died in the hurricane, forced to hang onto a rope for four hours (some of that was captured on film), and now wants to government to do more for Katrina victims. And what a difference a year makes -- not only did Bush, not in Crawford but hard at work in the White House, meet with this "average American," but check out the glowing praise our president received in return.

First, here's the way that the media spun the meeting: A triumph for the little guy:

"But now, I wanted to remind the President that the job's not done, and he knows that. And I just don't want the government and President Bush to forget about us. And I just wish the President could have another term in Washington".

:pals: :rofl:

Our Preznit. Just a regular ol' guy, you can sit down and have a beer with.

1. OF course

ANOTHER setup. They just HAVE to lie. They can't help it. It's genetic.

2. Actually, when I watched Rocky, the first question I had was.....

I wonder how long it took Rover to find THAT GUY?

3. There has got to be some compensation in this for "Rocky".
