Critical Mass

London's Daily Mail has a news story about the Bush assassination movie Death of a President, to be shown on Britain's Channel 4 sometime in October.  Included in the story is a video clip from the movie, the first half showing an anti-Bush rally in "Federal Plaza" (presumably in Chicago, judging by the article), and the second half ostensibly showing the assassination itself.  I have to admit, I watched the clip a couple of times, even in slow motion, and I didn't see anyone who looked like George W. in it, but the scene is so crazy that it is difficult to make much of anything out.

The protest scene seemed pretty accurate, based on my own experience witnessing the anti-G8 rally in Edinburgh, Scotland last summer.  As to putting the assassination clip on the internet, I can only guess at the purpose.  Is it to drum up support for the film?  To show just how shocking an inappropriate it is?  I don't know.
