Re: "Bushisms" and intelligence or knowledge, I would accept that one can be somewhat dyslexic, aphasic, etc., and still be quite knowledgeable and intelligent. But I understand that Bush recently talked about how the Gulf war "restored democracy to Kuwait."
If he did say that, that's ignorance that is very relevant to his job.
If we rid Afghanistan of Bin Laden and his cronies, would we be restoring the rights of the people in that country?

BTW, Amos, this time I just didn't bother to log on. But I have had a lot of trouble coming up as "guest," on many occasions right after I have finished resetting my cookie several times. That's why I swore in keyboard-ese.
