I Knew this Smelled
This has probably been covered extensively already, but it's one of those things I read and knew I wanted to post.
Just as Spike Lee's documentary Requiem was getting press last week, along came everyman Rockey Vaccarella gushing for his preznint Bush. He turns out to likely be nothing more than another rethuglican operative:

ROCKEY VACCARELLA
PERSONAL
Republican

35. Born in New Orleans. Grew up in Arabi and Chalmette. Lived 11 years in Meraux.

Married, two children.
Graduated from Chalmette High, 1982. Attended St. Bernard Community College.
Director of operations, Lundy Enterprises, as manager of 31 Pizza Hut restaurants and 450 employees. Former general restaurant manager of Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits on East Judge Perez Drive in Chalmette.

And in fact, Vaccarella seemed very confident that he would be meeting with Bush when he left home, to the point where he had a date scheduled and everything:

Dinner with the President is planned for the evening of August 22nd. [Formatting added by me.]

Most "everymen" easily get access to the president at key political times right?
