You're overanalyzing
It's really quite simple: Bush is an asshole. Cheney is an asshole. Rummy is an asshole. DeLay is an asshole. Condi is an asshole. Ari Fleischer and Tony Snow are assholes. The filmstrip was a cavalcade of assholes.
Maybe in your universe assholes exist only in mirrors, but that's just your universe. The Winger Universe.
