This is one that I won't call my favorite *anything*...just that it's a prime example of how disgraceful Bill has been to himself, this nation, and our military...

Wish I could find the picture that *oops!*...shows the photographer's shadow just feet from the prezz. Oh, and I thought this was a private stroll that was captured with a telephoto lens?

Anyway...from http://www.punditreview.com/presidents_normandy.htm :

"During his 1994 visit to the hallowed beaches of Normandy, Bill Clinton staged perhaps the most disgraceful photo-op in the history of the presidency. As Michael Hutchison noted, 'The lone President arranging a pile of suspicious rocks into a cross on Normandy Beach while a perfectly-framed navy battleship just happens to float in the background.' The interesting part of all of this is that photos of the beach only minutes earlier had shown no rocks nearby. They had been planted there by Clinton staffers for the phony photo op. It got even more transparent later on when Clinton 'noticed that the small flag on a soldier's tombstone had apparently blown over and then rolled itself up; frowning that exaggerated frown and shaking his head in disgust, he unfurls the flag, plants it and salutes it while photographers shoot video of this 'private moment' from behind the cemetary's fence.' What a guy."
