Bush the egomaniacal Caligula of the 21st Century: The Washington Post reports that State Department workers were "taken aback last week to find that a longtime diplomatic photo exhibit along a busy corridor to the cafeteria had been taken down." That exhibit was "a historic progression of great diplomatic moments" -- Woodrow Wilson at Versailles, FDR and Churchill signing the Atlantic Charter, Ronald Reagan seated next to a very young Colin Powell, even a political cartoon from the Jefferson era.

In its place? Naturally, a series of "21 large photos of the president as diplomat": Bush getting off a plane, Bush speaking at the UN, Bush laughing with former Chinese Communist boss Jiang Zemin, Bush on "Tienemen Square" [sic]. The Post says the same exhibit has been inflicted upon other floors; while Roosevelt, Jefferson and those other has-beens might be put up in a less-traveled area now being painted.
