Subject: RE: BS: Popular views of the Bush Administration
Maureen Dowd wrote the following paragraph in her column today, which deserves to be memorialized if only for the phrase describing the newly elected Bush:

"Even though he watched W. in 2000 make the argument that his lack of foreign policy experience would be offset by the fact that he was surrounded by pros — Powell himself was one of the regents brought in to guide the bumptious Texas dauphin — Powell makes that same argument now for Obama.

"Experience is helpful," he says, "but it is judgment that matters.""
