Some things don't change. No matter how many centuries pass, it's still a good thing to cover up reality with a coat of paint (which, God knows, was probably needed!).
On the other hand, it's just like Catherine's tour of Russia 300-plus years ago. So who's Potemkin in this analogy.
I was disappointed that not one news analyst mentioned this while discussing Bush's buzz through Georgia. Maybe they will, in digest this weekend. I just find the similarities really amazing.
