Maybe it’s not Mount Olympus afterall

Over on Daily Kos is a post — they call them “diaries” — that points out that George W. Bush also accepted the 2004 Presidential nomination standing in front of a fake Mount Olympus set.  Except it’s not really Mount Olympus, but a fake White House looking set.

I’m guessing that the Obama campaign was shooting for something more like this then they were Mount Olympus.  While watching ABC News tonight, they showed the set where Obama will be making history by accepting the Democratic nomination for President.  The set looked a lot less “Mount Olympus” then it did before.  It was covered with American flags. Lots and lots of American flags.

So maybe Obama isn’t trying to emulate Zeus on Mount Olympus.  Maybe he is trying instead to emulate George W. Bush.

Isn’t that . . . .  worse?

    Well, it fucking figures. I’m still going to vote for that green-ass guy with the fin on his head.
