At today's White House press conference, between chattering about a potential World War and throttling a lazy Congress, Bush found time to remind us that all photo opps are pretty much bullshit.

Asked whether whether the photos of Vlad and A Jad were a sign of some sort of "Caspian Sea Truman Doctrine" (yeah, we liked that one, too!), Bush said the photos mean nothing. "What do you want to see them fighting each other of the front page of every paper in the country? No, man, come on! Generally leaders try not to get photos of them scowling at each other or making bad gestures."

Naturally, he was referring to Vlad flipping him the bird after Bush sent him a ship of bad chicken.
