Here are the finalists in the “Bush in 30 Seconds” competition put on by moveon.org. It pleases me. I especially recommend “what are we teaching our children” for humor value.
My top pics are:
In my country — highlights specific civil liberties cut
Bring ’em on — specific indictments using footage of bush lying
What are we teaching our children — Funny, pointed, my overall top pick
Imagine — no specific reason, but a good general overview
Army of One — shows just how much Bush really ‘supports the troops’
Leave no Billionaire Behind — Pointed illustration of financial policies
Bush’s Repair Shop — Humorous, specific

I would reorder:
Imagine — music and pacing provokes an emotional response, that’s what you want
In my country — excellent juxtaposition
Leave no Billionarire behind — having the old guy say “thanks, kids” was perfect–the inflection was just right.
What we are teaching our children — doesn’t quite hang together properly
Bush in 30 Seconds
These clips totally rock. It’s about time… Wake-up, America. In my country ranked high with me. And Desktop tickled the geek in me.
