Bush Is No Gibbering Halfwit, He's Worse ... He's A Moral Imbecile

Bush Is No Gibbering Halfwit, He's Worse ... He's A Moral Imbecile

A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION
by Mark Crispin Miller

I've long argued that Bush is not an imbecile -- that he boasts a certain species of political intelligence which we overlook at our own peril. (Also, I agree with others who have argued that he's suffering from some kind of physical or mental deterioration, and has got much worse over the last few years. To which we'd have to add that his ostensibly unbounded power has had its utterly predictable effect on him.) The notion that he's just a gibbering halfwit is a rather pleasurable one to many who detest him. I've always argued, and still think, that the situation is in fact much worse than that.
