Yet another halo shot

This one from Reuters.

Repeat after me. Mr. Bush is not the divine king who sits between God and mortal man.

And while Mr. Bush claims that God speaks to him, there's no strong indication that Mr. Bush actually listens to anyone (and he tells us himself that he does not read much). My guess is that he often speaks what someone - perhaps Mr. Cheney, or Mr. Rove or Ms. Rice - whispers into a microphone beamed into an earpiece in Mr. Bush's ear. Last I checked, even the Bill Frist-Dennis Hastert led Congress hasn't passed a law making Cheney, Rice, or even Rove God.

It's really pathetic that so-called photojournalists for otherwise reasonably reputable news services keep managing "somehow" to shoot an image like Mr. Bush has a halo or divine aura.

Try for a shot of him holding a platinum spoon to his mouth. It's more apt.
