The President unveiled another "uniform" 1, this time talking to Marines. As if we needed more evidence of rank foolishness, this fetish for the military reveals an ongoing fundamental misunderstanding of the role "Commander-in-Chief".
There is a second, mocking, comparative picture on Eschaton. I too was reminded of SF uniforms, but when thinking about skiffy and Bush, the persistent image is of Karl Rove strolling into a conference room just to tell actor Bruce Boxleitner how much he and Bush love Babylon 5.
So isn't it about time someone explained to them that in the series the President is the bad guy?
