WHAT HAVE we gotten ourselves into?

Gene,

We've all experienced Bush's inability to form intelligent and/or complete sentences. I simply do not see how that man got an MBA from Harvard without an extraordinary amount of outside help or influence (either monetary, or something like tutoring/coaching/editing/etc).

To make the case, as you seem to want to make, that he earned it fairly through hard work is I think, problematic at best.

This point addresses the MBA only, not leadership, political prowess, good or bad job while in office, etc.

I talk a lot like Bush, and a lot like this guy.

Being articulate does not make you intelligent nor vice versa. One of the most Intelligent people I ever met, who worked on the guidance systems for the MX Missile, was a from a steel town in northern PA and sounded almost retarded. Earned a MS in Applied Math in a "3 plus 2" program at CMU.

I've seen Bush in "intimate" interviews. He does not bang up words too often when he's talking "one on one". I would not be remotely surprised if he does that on purpose, to appeal to many folks who also bang up words, by making his public appearnces into burlesques.

I don't stick up for Bush as much as I refute the idea that the "Progressives" have some sort of "alternative". I think both camps are pretty reprehensible people when they get total control of things.
