Indeed, this reminds me of a little story of my own.
There is this "charismatic" celebrity on TV here in Norway who is always smiling and cracking minor jokes and the like, he became host of a soccer show of some sort (didn't really watch it).
Then one day there is this comedian in his show, with the intention of screwing up the show just for shits and giggles for his own show, and he has a backstage cameraman with him to tape the whole thing.
He gets asked various questions about Soccer, and proceeds to goof off everything and make up crap, etc, I am not entirely sure what happened, I only clearly remember the one thing that's important to the whole story:
I was looking at the aforemention celebrity, and then it hit, he lost the mask, and the real him appeared; his face changed from smiling and laughing at the comedians pranks (looked as real as it ever had) into a horrid look shouting "CUT! CUT! That's fucking enough!", or something to that effect.
Of course, that was never aired in the actual show, but was shown on the comedians show. I didn't have any opinion for or against the celebrity before I witnessed this, though I always thought it looked like he tried too hard to be funny sometimes. After that incident, however, I despise him, I've seen the real him, his mask no longer fools me.
That clip, however, is as harmless as it gets, though. I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but it wasn't "the real him" behind the mask, that was just a little release of tension, which probably worked to it's effect too; lighten the mood. :-)
As an aside, I do believe I've never heard "one-fingered victory salute" before, haw. *writes it down*
