Well, now that post made an impact on me. I am now a Gore fan. And I now will forgive Gore if, while Bill was having Monica play skin flute, was nailing her from behind...... Whew! is there a freakin disease out there that makes every foreign person on these threads cerebrally anemic? Shootie

I would guess she doesn't much care for Thatcher, either. Her misrepresentations of policy betray a strong Labour bias.........

Murali, Regarding your post on the Brit deriding Bush's intelligence: I agree with him, however the the Euros (and other developed countries) do not exactly have stellar records. Case in point is the historic European disease of placing so much power and faith in central bureaucracies that economic and social stagnation sets in. America may be known by its leader, however IMHO it is the American people (of all backgrounds, ethnic and social standing) that make America great. The people have managed to keep the central government in check for well over 200 years, meaning that we rely on ourselves to achieve greatness. Remarkable, in that there truly is no such thing (again, IMHO) as a "typical American," no homogeneous trait that we can point to that makes us an American (not even birth, as we are an immigrant nation). That GWB appears to be a trustworthy person of above-average intelligence (and not the "best and brightest") appeals to the American people (although clearly not everyone). I do not know if I would want our president ever to have the highest IQ, as exceptionally smart people tend to have difficulty relating to the average American's concerns, while typically believing that they "know better than everyone what is best," despite that often the government's cure is worse than the disease. Just my opinion, G Howe
