It has been sometimes said that although George Bush feigns to be tongue-tied and vacuous, that there lurks, within, an astute and clever man. It's hard to believe! - and now probably clearly shown not to be the case.
As Robert Scheer writes in truthdig.com:
"Bombs were exploding and innocents dying, from Beirut to Haifa to Baghdad, and yet George Bush managed to pose for yet another photo op, smiling as he gave the thumbs up at the close of the G8 summit. Thanks to an unsuspected open mic, however, we could also glimpse the mindset of a leader unaccountably pleased with his ignorance of the world.
What seemed to interest him most at that farewell get together of leaders bitterly divided over a disintegrating Mideast was not some last-minute proposal for peace but rather the fact that it would take China President Hu Jintao eight hours to fly home from St. Petersburg to Beijing."
Read this insight [and shake your head in disbelief] into George Bush and his "thinking" [?] here.
For another, more biting, comment and assessment of Bush - and his lack of intelligence, this from AlerNet:
"You know it, I know it and the American people know it. But everyone is afraid to say it. They say it privately, but people are afraid of saying it publicly because you will be branded as a liberal, elite, intellectual snob. But believe me, you don't have to be an intellectual to see how painfully stupid our president is."
