Synopsis

Photo ops (aka photo opportunities) are a staple of political media management. But when the opportunity goes wrong, photo ops become photo oops...And this seems to happen quite regularly to George W. Bush! This collection of over 100 all-new hysterically human shots of Presidential mishaps culled from news bureaus have been pointedly captioned by the former editor of the Harvard National Lampoon. Whether it is on the podium or the screen, on an aircraft carrier or on Mount Rushmore, it is comforting to know that even the most compulsively controlled Presidential appearances can go wrong - with sidesplitting results!

From the Back Cover

110 hysterically human shots of Dubya have been culled from news bureaus and captioned for even more pointed effect.

In this regime of meticulously staged, compulsively controlled presidential appearances on podium and screen, on aircraft carrier or Mt. Rushmore, it is a relief to be reminded that accidents do happen,sometimes for the side splitting benefit of the dutiful audience.
