Could Pres. Bush be experiencing a "Thought Surge" here late in his administration?

8/22/2007 9:48:08 AM

why does it sound like to me every time W. starts pontificating on how the government or Democracy is supposed to function that he has just opened up a 6th Grade Social Studies book to find his answers?

it's like right after the 2000 election he came out with this gem - concise and trite enough to teach to a 3rd grader
"I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them."

or, of course, showing his vast international diplomacy knowledge in the 2004 election
"Tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. You're a -- you're a -- you have been given sovereignty and you're viewed as a sovereign entity."

Doesn't take a fan to spell the name of the Vice President of the United States correctly... more like a 3rd grade civics lesson.

And he alludes that horribly horrible show on comedy central.


Fucker probably reads Al Franken too.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman


Indeed I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was inappropriate. In fact, it was wrong.

Boone, why does your graph stop three years ago?
Could it be because the deficit as % of GDP falls precipitously from there on?
