One thing about the incident is that Bush prolly wouldn't have bothered flipping the bird at JiveTurky and his friends if the slogan "More trees, less Bush" was one that he'd seen already. ^_^
As far as whether Bush made a large mistake, I don't think so. It is a little funny, which is why I cross posted it in my journal. I think it also shows that the Bushies are cracking a little bit under pressure. They have basically been under heavy seige for the last couple of months and the heat generated by Abu Ghraib was mostly the Bushies own fault. So I wouldn't vote against Bush just because he had a weak moment. OTOH I have endless reasons to put his hiney on the street, all based on policy (the four primaries IMHO being world population, energy, health care, and the movement to a machine economy).
