I wouldn't say that Rove engineered it. According to Bob Beckwith, Rove asked him to help the president then get down. Beckwith helped the president up and was getting down when the president asked him to stay.

Welcome to FR.

[Just A Nobody]

In an impromptu moment of unusually uplifting and inspired rhetoric from this president,

Karl Rove made that moment happen.

You clearly do not listen to PRESIDENT Bush often. He always uplifting and inspired and it ticks the commies off no end.

Karl had nothing to do with the "moment" if you read Mr. Beckwith's account.

Talk about engineered photos:

[VOA]

Karl Rove made that moment happen.

Only partly.
Bob Beckwith said that Rove (who Beckwith didn't recognize) asked
him if it was safe to stand on the vehicle.
Beckwith said "yes", then Rove told him to help Dubya up and then
he (Beckwith) was to get down.

Beckwith said that he was ready to get off the vehicle when Dubya asked him
where he was going...and then Dubya told him to stay and thus
the bullhorn/old firefighter scene ensued.

That's my best recollection of what Beckwith said in one of the
plethora of 9-11 documentaries within the last couple of days.

Apparently on that occassion, Dubya's PR-sense did Rove's one better.

Rove makes the rain fall which helps the flowers grow and then he stomps on the flowers and shoots lightning bolts out of his eyes to kill children.
