Dubya today in Biloxi: Why no audience shots?

[blogslut]

President LookingRealBad spoke at a community in Biloxi today. I watched. It was hard work but I noticed there was not one, damned audience shot on CNN. I looked for this speech on both C-Span 1 and 1, no luck. So far, in Yahoo photos, NOT ONE AUDIENCE SHot, except for this tight perspective one:



The rest of the photos are here:

Why no audience shots? I even looked on Getty Images. They only had like, 11 pics and they were tighter on the stage than the ones @ Yahoo.

:shrug:

1. Makes me wonder how many people actually graduated from

there today. If there was only a dozen, it might ruin his image! :rofl:

2. Looks like the audience was mostly potted plants.

Which would be about the only safe audience he can find these days.

3. That's an insult to the potted plant community n/t

4. CNN showed the entire speech. Not even Faux carried it.

I didn't see it all, but I never saw an audience shot. Maybe they faked it?:tinfoilhat: He's so pathetic, I couldn't blame them.

President praises Mississippi spirit
By MELISSA SCALLAN
SUN HERALD

BILOXI - President Bush told graduates of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College that his administration will be a "steady partner" for local governments dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"The resurgence of this great state has only begun," the president said.

The president began speaking about 2:30 p.m.

Bush came into the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport at about 1:30 p.m. and was greeted by Gov. Haley Barbour and Gulfport Mayor Brent Warr, among others.

Bush is the first sitting president to address a community college graduation.

14. Here are a few students waiting to get in or something

mmmm... MUCH easier on the eyes than the Dumbass Supreme(TM)... :loveya: Probably a LOT smarter too. I mean, community college?! I'll bet they can even say "nuclear"!

Of course, one does wonder whether the sunny smiles were still on their faces AFTER the Dumbass Supreme(TM) started speaking...
