How Bush chose stupidity.

According to MSN, this is how some people close to George W think about him.


Bush's ignorance is so transparent that many of his intimates do not bother to dispute it even in public. Consider the testimony of several who know him well.


Richard Perle, foreign policy adviser: "The first time I met Bush 43 … two things became clear. One, he didn't know very much. The other was that he had the confidence to ask questions that revealed he didn't know very much."

David Frum, former speechwriter: "Bush had a poor memory for facts and figures. … Fire a question at him about the specifics of his administration's policies, and he often appeared uncertain. Nobody would ever enroll him in a quiz show."

Laura Bush, spouse: "George is not an overly introspective person. He has good instincts, and he goes with them. He doesn't need to evaluate and reevaluate a decision. He doesn't try to overthink. He likes action."

Paul O'Neill, former treasury secretary: "The only way I can describe it is that, well, the President is like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people. There is no discernible connection."

The White House appears to be run by a Cheney/Pearl ticket.

and it was both funny and sad. Here we have the so called leader of the free world that doesn't spend much time weighing his decisions but it really nailed him too. He's just what they wanted.

In John Dean's book, didn't they say that he was able to remember the names of all 50 people in his pledge class in his frat? Beyond that he is not very bright.
