What's Real?

They say the picture of President Bush standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier outfitted in a jump suit will be the defining image of his presidency and the perfect photo for his re-election campaign in 2004.

But Democrats complain that the picture was staged, pointing out that because the carrier was only 39 miles from shore, Bush could have saved the tax payers money by taking his customary mode of transportation, helicopter. "Then there was the carrier's position," wrote Time Magazine, "which had to be tilted to obscure any view of the nearby coastline and ensure a picture-perfect azure backdrop."

What else about that Kodak Moment wasn't as it seemed?
