The Compassion of the Bush.
Lawrence Weschler, a LA Times article notes that the Bush/Cheney Web site's "Compassion Photo Gallery" is basically a bunch of pictures of Bush (and the first lady) with minorities.

".... It's amazing -- photo after photo, 19 in all, and almost every single one of them giving further testimony to the astonishing capaciousness of the guy's Compassion, by which we are given to understand: He just has no trouble at all touching black people! . . .

"Why, the Compassion page even includes a photo of him standing next to his own secretary of State, Colin Powell!"



A fascinating observation by the LA Times (needs registration). It's telling how the conservatives in this country still equate compassion to our interactions with African-Americans. Read and weep.
