I now know what the bulge in Bush's back was - - the WaPo editor is so far up his ass, he's now coming out his spine.
10/19 edition looks like Bush family album
P. 4 (main political page) has pic of Bush (and of Gore, but NO KERRY)
P. 6 in story otherwise focused on early voting in Fla, pic of GHW & Bar Bush voting in TEXAS (one-sentence mentions TX among early voting states)
Front page Style sec large color pic of Bush twins in article about candidates' children.
P. 2 Sports sec - color pic of Laura Bush & Paralympians.
PLUS
Front page header Bush Retains a Slim Lead in Poll, altho article points out within MOE & doesn't mention that even in this poll, Kerry is up & Bush is not.P. 8 - title Candidts Spar on Iraq, Terrorism War -should have been titled Bush Misleads and Distorts Kerry Record, because para after para points out Bush's deceptions in 'new' speech.
Tiny article re multi-term MI governor endorsing Kerry & blasting Bush is bottom of p. A7, overshadowed by Macy's ad, even though this guy is a real Republican, and no one can say Zell Miller is a real Democrat.
Article re Supreme Court's sendback of DeLay redistricting is not on front page, not on political pages, but on P. 21, the federal page.
Ask Len Downie (WaPo exec editor) if Bush is getting enough fiber. He should know.
