Journeys with George

Alexandra Pelosi covered George W. Bush's yearlong campaign for the Presidency with a video camera, and this is the result.

The film -- or rather, video -- shows the Prez to be humorous in a glad-handing, political kind of way, flirtatious in a ditto way, addicted to Cheetos (tm), bologna and cheese sandwiches on white bread (which he doesn't find ironic -- or does he not understand "ironic"?), and some near-beer from Holland.

Speaking of cheesy, it's revealed the "hand-lettered" signs you see at political rallies are pre-printed plants from the candidate's campaign funds. Who knew?

Very entertaining, enlightening -- and funny! As a lifelong Democrat, I was surprized and pleased to see Dubya's more human side. Within the genre of documentaries-that-don't-take-their-subjects-too-seriously, a nine. As a film, a seven.
