"Is Bush an Idiot?"

Scarborough debates with Larry O'Donnell and John Fund. The banner across the bottom "Is Bush an Idiot?"

The funniest thing is that hard core pro-administration John Fund can't even muster a strong defense."Voltaire once said that common sense is both rare and a lot more important to successful leadership than intelligence," said Fund. "And I agree."

Too bad it was on Scarborough's show so nobody saw it. But you should.

Scarborough "I think George Bush is in a league by himself. I don't think he has the intellectual depth of these other people, but do we need that as a President?"

Look around, Joe. Yes, we do.

And, while I'm bashing, an excerpt from Tom Friedman yesterday. (It's behind the pay wall so the link isn't to the NYTimes.)
Well, I just have one question for Mr. Cheney: If we’re in such a titanic struggle with radical Islam, and if getting Iraq right is at the center of that struggle, why did you 'tough guys' fight the Iraq war with .... just enough troops to lose? .... Please, Mr. Cheney, spare us your flag-waving rhetoric about the titanic struggle we are in and how Democrats just don’t understand it. It is just so phony — such a patent ploy to divert Americans from the fact that you have never risen to the challenge of this war. .... "

The terror strategy for 2006 seems to be failing.

  • Terrorism only sells when people are buying. And they'd offered it so frequently, nobody's buying.

  • I agree, but a question. Would a real terror attack have a different effect?

    People could rally round the flag. Then again, they could blame Bush. I think the environment has shifted enough to make the latter a possibility, depending on the circumstances.

  • Well, if there is another terror attack, it would truly show that Bush is incompetent and doesn't have a clue as to how to deal with national security or how to fight terrorism. Only the most deepest of kool-aid drinkers would stand by him then, no matter how much the corporate media runs pro-Bush propaganda.

  • Yeah, I agree with in general, but I'm not totally sure. Hopefully, this remains an untested theorum.
