We Begin Combing in Five Minutes!

We know Bush Junior is not ready for prime time, but here’s some confirming evidence: We Begin Combing in Five Minutes! (washingtonpost.com) “…(A) technician accidentally flipped a switch that fed the images of a not-ready-for-prime-time Bush — his eyes darting to and fro as a female stylist sprayed, combed and patted down his hair.” Footage was aired on BBC-TV, CBS and another British channel. “A BBC spokeswoman told us that her network promptly realized the video was not for broadcast ‘but they couldn’t pull away because of technical difficulties.’ ” Was this done on purpose? A fuming White House, insisting the footage was “unauthorized”, seemingly thinks so. A senior official observes that ‘…this kind of thing has happened more than once…’ and insists that from now on it will be Presidential staffers rather than network personnel who flick the switch turning on the feed at Bush’s press conferences.
