#1 How can someone so stooopid conduct? Was Cheney giving him cues? Did Halliburton rig up something?

#3 I was having brunch at the rooftop restaurant at Hotel Washington yesterday with some friends from out of town. As we gazed out over the Treasury Building and the White House, three identical Marine helicopters flew up the Potomac, accross the Mall, and then two of them split off as the third landed on the South Lawn. Way, way cool and now I see that was the Prez arriving fom Jamestown, and therefore, even cooler.

#6 My prediction: the second Bush leaves office the whole "he's a moron" meme will be dropped in a hearbeat and *gasp* he'll be sought out by the media for his opinions on various matters. These opinions will sound shockingly intelligent when reported by the same people who branded him an "idiot."

The exact same thihg happened to Dan Quale; another so-called idiot. When upon occasion he is asked to comment on something topical - generally Family Values controversies, real or imagined - the media reports his answers as thoughtful and well-crafted.... because there's nothing to be gained politically by promoting the "Dan Quale is a moron" meme anymore! Same thing will happen with Bush.

#7 Naw, they won't seek out Bush for comment. For one thing, he'll probably take the same tack his father did of keeping his mouth shut. For another, if the next president's a Republican, you'll definitely never get a bad word from him, and if the next president's a Democrat, then the press won't be interested in criticism.

#8 Dang, Seafarious, you might as well buy an endowed chair on the roof of the Hotel Washington, you're there so often :-)

[N.B. she's taken me and other Rantburg citizens there, and it is a great view]
