| Some claim that George is not clueless. Nothing could be further from the truth.. | A man who cannot talk about
education without making a humiliating grammatical mistake ("The
illiteracy level of our children are appalling"); who cannot keep
straight the three branches of government ("It's the executive branch's
job to interpret law"); who coins ridiculous words ("Hispanos," "arbolist,"
"subliminable," "resignate," "transformationed"); who habitually says
the opposite of what he intends ("the death tax is good for people from
all walks of life!") sounds like a grade-A imbecile.
And if you don't care to pursue the matter any further, that view will suffice. George W. Bush has governed, for the most part, the way any airhead might, undermining the fiscal condition of the nation, squandering the goodwill of the world after Sept. 11, and allowing huge problems (global warming, entitlement spending, AIDS) to metastasize toward catastrophe through a combination of ideology, incomprehension, and indifference. If Bush isn't exactly the moron he sounds, his synaptic misfirings offer a plausible proxy for the idiocy of his presidency.

Clueless
George Goes to Warhttp://cluelessgeorgegoestowar.com/html/clueless_page1.html I have lost count of the times I have been ticked off in recent months, sometimes by quite senior politicians, for suggesting that George W Bush is a complete idiot. He is nowhere near as stupid as he seems, I have been told, a proposition that has some force solely because it is hard to imagine any world leader being afflicted with quite the degree of bovine incomprehension that the President habitually displays. ...We are entitled, in a world where what the US President says may affect all our lives, to expect something better than the overblown claims and ignominious climbdowns that are the hallmark of this ignorant, inept administration. ...Frantic displays of patriotism, random round-ups of hundreds of foreigners and unverifiable claims about imminent terrorist attacks cannot conceal the fact that its members do not know what they are doing; any day now, I expect to hear that Switzerland, or perhaps Belgium, has been added to the axis of evil. It is not just Mr. Bush, as I naively hoped, who is absolutely clueless. Joan Smith writes for the Independent |

As
for the claim that he is ignorant, only one question remains: Was he born that way? "Terrorism" is a tactic: Our enemies are myriad, but ignorance and subversion are more lethal than terror." |
|
| But is the leader of
the free world actually delusional? Two briefly juxtaposed headlines Thursday's New York Times said it all: "Iraq Panel to Recommend Pullback of Combat Troops." "Bush Dismisses Call for Panel's Pullout Plan." |
By Thursday night, even conservative MSNBC talk show host Joe Scarborough dubbed his opening show's segment "Determined or Delusional" as he talked about Bush's being "in total denial." Is George Bush paying attention? |

Iraq: A Fraud Worse than Enron
Impeachment may be the only solution in Iraq and at home... Electronic Iraq - |
The President has committed
fraud. It is a crime in the legal, not merely the colloquial, sense. It is far worse than Enron. It is not a victimless crime. We cannot shrug our shoulders and walk away. |
