There is no evidence to support your charge that Bush is a "manifest idiot". JLA

I don't KNOW what GW is capable of intellectually. He hasn't given indication of great depth or curiosity. I have no way of knowing whether he ever reads any important reports or not; you probably don't either. (Sheehy is not unbiased, I'm not sure any longer that ANY thing I read is).I was just offering alternative interpretations to yours. I voted for him because he was the lesser of MY evils and the Republican party is closer to my personal philosophy. I have a great deal of respect for Cheney and the people GW has placed around him so far. (As opposed to-eek- Daley and Jesse?) I'm not comfortable dealing with phrases like "manifest idiot" and "brain soaked in alcohol" because I think they set up barriers between us. I'm constrained from being able to say, yes, GW seems unable to construct a coherent answer to a direct question and yes, that worries me, because it implies agreement to your assumption that this is because his brain is pickled in alcohol, something I DON'T accept. Where we obviously agree is that neither candidate was compelling and we voted with issues in mind. At this point, we're going to get one or the other, either of whom inherits a crippled presidency, and a divided congress, and the current dilemma is the resolution of which way we go with the least damage to the country. And my portfolio.
