I just had an email from Noam Chomsky who would like me to point out that you CAN'T compare apples and orange among idiots. Tweed may be an idiot, and Bush is an idiot, but he's a criminally stupid idiot, not to be confused with Tweed's cultivated garden-variety idiocy. With the Bush brand they started with the basic idiot material but through zealous super-charging the annealed result is the embarrassing scare-them-shitless-into-voting-for-him idjit.

The Idjit-Bush annealing process is highly technical, involving smoke and mirrors.
