Summary: Washingtgon insider's report Karl Rove has the sole key to the Oval. Better to keep it as a stationary backdrop. Less expensive than those landings on aircraft carriers or those "Plan for Victory" stage settings.Pink flowers: For several years now, the same pink flowers appear in the background 'frame" of Bush at his desk. Framing at its best; either they're fake or those little guys creating reality know something about how effective consisent small 'pink' visual cues are in instilling a sense of:
- "things'll be all right, afterall" or
- "we can trust this guy, he's a softy at heart"
Nobody could have staged this mess!
