PHOTO-OP COVER-UP: BOXES READ 'MADE IN CHINA' NOT 'MADE IN USA'
Apparently, only the deception was "Made in the USA"....
In the Shrub Administration, appearance is everything, so much so that there are some who will go to any lengths to create the right effect.
ST. LOUIS, Missouri (CNN) -- Someone wanted the right setting Wednesday as President Bush traveled to the Midwest to deliver another pitch for his economic plan.
When the president delivered his remarks, he did so from the floor of a warehouse with American flags in the background along with the logo "Strengthening America's Economy" on a backdrop of boxes. The boxes were stamped "Made in U.S.A."
One problem: The boxes were made in China.
And that was evident despite an effort to hide labels on boxes surrounding the stage. The boxes placed on the side of the stage had "Made in China" labels covered up with white pieces of paper.
Of course, if these folks have no qualms about this sort of prevarication, what's going to happen when we go to war against Iraq??
