The reason so many voted for him is because the average American thinks its O.K. if you lie. Its only wrong if you get caught and thats why he's being crucified now. If he hadn't been found out, people would still be waving their flags, no matter what.

"incurious, inflexible, uninterested, inarticulate, and arrogant"

Sounds just like a good ol boy to me. One of the guys. He plays this image for all its worth.

"yeah, i would have attacked no matter what"

Thats his confession. What more do you want? Everybody makes a mistake now and then. Don't you believe in the forgiveness of sins? Yes, he is a God fearing sinner just like the rest of us and now he's showing us how humble he really is. :>)
