Thomas A. Watson--thanks for your long and exhaustive treatise on the failings of Bill Clinton, some with which I actually agree.
However, if you believe that the following statement made by our new President is reflective of "clear concise thought" made by a "very bright" man, then I'd say your standards are, uh, EXCEEDINGLY low...
Here it is: "The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants."--Interview with the New York Times, Jan. 14, 2001
Or, if you think that this is just a single statement taken out of context from an otherwise brilliant, concise speaker, I respectfully refer you to:

Of course, a man with your amazing ability to ferret out knowledge on the internet ("These system's [sic] give me an incredible productivity advantage," you modestly write) probably already has factored these amazingly "clear, concise thoughts" of Mr. Bush into your comprehensive view of him, which--if you truly believe him to be a "very bright man"--may explain a great deal...
If you have the courage to check the Bushisms out, I'd be REAL interested to get your take on them... |
