We all have viewed public political events which have clickety—clack sound effects of an endless run of picture—taking. Then the media chooses one or two pictures, among the hundreds taken, to feature in their reports.

Well, should we be surprised that the New York Times chooses to show a photo on their front—page of the Clintons and President Bush at the opening of the Clinton library that depicts Bush as a bobble—headed doll, with his head projected far backwards as if on a spring?  This is reminiscent of the Frontline hatchet job on Bush which ran an unprecedented three times (including once a few days before the election) which found only one picture of George Bush during his Harvard Business School days — blowing a bubble with his gum.
