Suma,

Re: To me, his off the cuff remarks are so incipiently STUPID... An intellectual he is not. I wonder about his mentality..seriously.

I don't believe George Bush has uttered an off the cuff remark in public since he got off-script the evening of 9/11/01. Since then, he's been generally speaking in controlled situations with the script known and vetted well in advance. His "cowboy" image is completely phony. It is created by Carl Rove and the image consultants who have found that showing Bush as a "man's man" is very effective propaganda with a large slice of the American public who steadfastly refuse to think. Bush is a perfect TV president. He's buff. He's macho and he speaks in childish soundbites. This is what TV is all about. He's the most two dimensional public persona we've ever had as a president. He is being posed as a caricature.

But that is just the result of fanatical image management. Underneath the bluster and the boorishness is a radical at work. Molly Ivins is going to have a book coming out in the fall called "Bushwacked". It is a study of all the work that Bush & Cie. are engaged in to destroy the social fabric of the U.S. and replace our social democracy with a new feudalism. From the destruction of all Superfund clean-up, through the destruction of ergonomic standards, beyond the efforts to bankrupt the government in order to make social security, medicare and medicaid impossible to fund, we also have the incredibly corrupt corporate welfare flowing into the military-industrial complex.

Underneath the reassuringly macho soundbites lies one mean sum bitch who is out to destroy America by subterfuge and a culture of lies and deceit.
