UNSMART ALEC
The UK Telegraph’s Alec Russell—based in Washington DC since 2003—revives a celebrated modern myth:
Mr Bush’s daring piece of presidential theatre yesterday appeared to be more successful than the stunt he pulled in 2003. The images of the president serving Thanksgiving dinner to the troops were undercut when it emerged that he was holding a fake display turkey. Yesterday was very much a sombre affair.
Russell might be in a sombre mood today, once his editors alert him to the fact the turkey wasn’t fake. It’s been 923 days since Turkeygate began, by the way; we hit 1,000 days on August 30. Oh, the parties we shall throw! Feel free to invite Alec, whose Telegraph blog allows comments.
