“ This is the dramatic moment when President George Bush is gunned down by a sniper after a public address at a hotel, in a gripping new docudrama soon to be aired on TV. Set around October 2007, President Bush is assassinated as he leaves the Sheraton Hotel in Chicago. Death of a President, shot in the style of a retrospective documentary, looks at the effect the assassination of Bush has on America in light of its ‘War on Terror’. The 90 minutes feature explores who could have planned the murder, with a Syrian-born man wrongly put in the frame. The ACLU ruled the film was protected by Free Speech.  [Stop the ACLU - 1996] A Halloween-themed graphic featuring a zombie President Barack Obama with a bullet hole in his forehead provoked widespread outrage and the attention of the Secret Service Monday after a local Republican committee in Virginia used it to scare up interest in Halloween parade political activities. [NBC News Yesterday] “This is a disgusting and violent portrayal of the president of the United States,” said Democratic Party of Virginia spokesman Brian Coy. My biggest disappointment came when — ” “ Gov. Bob McDonnell, through spokesman J. Tucker Martin, called on the Loudoun GOP to “apologize for their actions, and to immediately ensure that such imagery is never used again.” and — Virginia GOP Chairman Pat Mullins said such an image “has no place in our politics. Ever.” ” Oh stop it.  Both McDonnell, whom I deeply admire, and Mullins are playing to the media here.  What both should have said was nothing. Or, at most,  "Oh stop this nonsense.  It was a pop culture reference and nothing more.  Sheesh. Lets talk about Gun running."
