At best, FOX chose the photo most flattering to Bush, despite the
fact that it gave an unrealistic impression.

At worse, they used a doctored photo. (Yes, the two photos are
different,
but how do you explain the fact that Bush is so tall in the FOX
photo?)

Camera angle, STEPS (did you not hear that the first time?), leaning
down in the first photo. Geez. Go drink your kool aide.


So you are going with the best case scenario? That FOX didn't doctor the
picture but chose the one out of hundreds that flattered Bush even though
it
misrepresented his relative height.

Question for you: What's up with all the "kool aide" references I see
scattered about the newsgroups these days? What's the origin?

It's a reference to Jim Jones, a cult leader in the seventies who, along
with 900 or so followers established a community called Jonestown in
Guyana.
On November 18, 1978, Jones ordered a mass suicide by commanding his
followers to drink a cyanide-laden punch. So, someone who is "drinking
the
Kool-Aid" is a blind follower willing to do anything at their leader's
command.


I'm familiar with Jonestown but I didn't get it as applied to those who
oppose Bush's re-election. Thanks for the explanation.

I see lots of Bush supporters using it. Has it been put out by the
right-wing radio/TV talk shows?
