[kj] OT: Bush: "I am reminded ... ofPhilippine-Americanswhen Ieat dinner"

Nice one. And I'd say the gaffes, etc, are simply down to a lack of sophistication, which likely endears him to a lot of his supporters. They prefer a politician they can understand, which is fair comment really. I think that's a common problem that people like him appear to be the answer to, for that particular section of the public.

The cohort around him (Cheney, Rumsfeld when he was on board, Condoleeza 
Rice) are obviously really smart in a Dr Strangelove sense. Bush is the 
Howdy Doody, folksy face that that crowd of gangsters and thugs puts 
before the US public.

You know what Mary Poppins said - a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine 
go down. Jon Stewart said Bush doesn't talk like he's stupid -- he talks 
like the US public is stupid. On the other hand, his verbal gaffes are 
well documented, on tape, etc.,  and aren't made up or anything.
