I don't know if Bush doesn't care that millions wince. He seemed to be trying hard for a while, which makes it appear to be incapacity rather than unconcern. He's a "leader" in the sense that setting your jaw and narrowing your eyes and reading speeches written by others and uttering the same platitudes over and over again can make one a leader. He is a likeable, natural guy, though, and Gore isn't. I think you've made the best riposte that could have been made. It says to me that you like the trappings of the palanquin Bush is being carried around in, the people who are carrying it, and the direction they're taking it in. And to you it shouldn't matter that the occupant appears to be a simpleton. And maybe you're right. Maybe it's just about a personal prejudice of mine. BTW, Truman was unpolished, blunt, untraveled, maybe unsophisticated.... but that's the first time I've ever heard anyone imply he was a simpleton.
