  •  Agreeable non-disagreement (none / 0)

    I was disagreeing with the notion that we should ignore this story in favor of more potent ones.  I was trying to suggest that stories of various significance fit various media niches, and that "lesser" stories like this one can serve a purpose along with more substantive ones.  

    Whatever legs this doctored photo may have, I wish it a long and prosperous run.  

    I also liked the post below that put it in the context of prepared photo ops like Saddam's statue being torn down, not to mention Bush's fake turkey platter and the staged flyboy "Mission Accomplished" event.  And I'd add Bush's single visit to a military hospital: photographers were "banned", but a Bush photographer just happened to slip in and record Bush's momentary compassion for "history".  

    Scumbags all.
