The Media made hay over this scene of Michael Dukakis riding a tank in 1988...



But it never made a stink about this image of George W. Bush blowing a bubble with bubble gum...



Why did they raise a stink about Dukakis in the tank but not Bush's bubble gum blowing which was arguably much sillier? I honestly don't think I'd have the nerve to do the latter in public (unless maybe in a contest or something), but I don't see what the problem is with the former.

Maybe because Bush wasn't running a presidential campaign at the time. lol, what are these threads anymore?
