I Apologize For the Mount Olympus Reference

Yesterday, I made a passing comment referencing the tittering taking place about how the stage being erected in Mile High Stadium for Obama’s acceptance speech resembles a classical temple.

The folks over at Daily Kos and Politico dusted off some photos from Bush’s acceptance speech in 2004:

While it’s not quite as templetastic as Obama’s set….thank you Kos and Politico for reminding us that both parties are familiar with fancy columns, and the placing of their Chosen Ones on pedestals.
