Meh. I don’t put too much thought into these pictures. This was a puff-piece in The Washingtonian, a bunch born to the Manor if there ever was one. The pictures are “posed,” which is tough work from the photographer’s perspective, and are designed to flatter the subjects.
When you ponder the considerable ego of the subjects, I’m surprised they don’t have Carney urinating into the Niagara River, supplying all the water for The Falls.
I thought the comment upthread about the Gorbachev bobblehead was pretty funny. I thought it was Nikita Khrushchev, and I was looking for a shoe.
Lol!
Remember the Battle of the Flags at press conferences during the election 2000 fiasco?
