By way of a contrast to the establishment media and supporter reaction to President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, here's a flashback to some media and supporter reactions to Bush landing on the USS Lincoln and declaring that "major combat operations have ended."
THEN: Bush makes an ass of himself in what was arguably the biggest political mistake of his presidency, not to mention a callous disregard for reality. Manly! Giant bulge! Women love him! Stunning! Huge!
NOW: President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Controversial! Undeserved! Politically toxic!
Here's a particularly infuriating quote from Chris Matthews reacting to Bush's flight suit photo op:
He's like Eisenhower. He looks great in a military uniform. He looks great in that cowboy costume he wears when he goes West. I remember him standing at that fence with Colin Powell. Was [that] the best picture in the 2000 campaign?
