More Commercial Break...

I haven't seen the new Bush ad, but after reading this morning's New York Times, I think I will make a point to try to find it somewhere.

Apparently, the ad-makers digitally enhanced part of Bush's State of the Union address when they used it in the spot, removing a place where the president tripped over his own tongue mid-soundbyte.

This particular instance is rather minute, but it is disturbing that political campaigns begin using cinematic special effects--a la Star Wars prequels--to make their candidates look like something they are not, or that they have done something they have not, or that they did not do something they did.
