Photo ops (aka photo opportunities) are a staple of political media management. But when the opportunity goes wrong, photo ops become photo oops...And this seems to happen quite regularly to George W. Bush! This collection of over 100 all-new hysterically human shots of Presidential mishaps culled from news bureaus have been pointedly captioned by the former editor of the Harvard National Lampoon. Whether it is on the podium or the screen, on an aircraft carrier or on Mount Rushmore, it is comforting to know that even the most compulsively controlled Presidential appearances can go wrong - with sidesplitting results!
