Propoganda
Bush as Christ? Check out the AP photo in this article. (EDIT- The picture is no longer there. It had Shrub's head bowed as if in prayer and a halo of light around his head. Really, I'm not kidding.)

Also, I found a free copy of W: Revenge of the Bush Dynasty. Despite its menacing title, the book is nothing but more Bush propoganda which reminds me of the Hitler propoganda I've read in the past. The private school Bush attended is described as "legendary in the Bush clan as the brine from which his father first rose like Apollo, back in the early 1940's." It goes on to tell how after Pearl Harbor was bombed, Bush Sr. "gilded his legend by vowing to put off Yale and enter the war. His sense of duty was honed at Andover, whose understated motto was Non Sibi, not for one's self."

I was finding the propoganda nature of the book amusing and getting some chuckles out of it until Bush is described as having learned discipline and duty from training as a pilot. The book wasn't even attempting to mention that part of the discipline he displayed was skipping his last year of service.
