What’s weirder? Time’s poll last week, showing
that the idiot in the White House continues to lead John Kerry by double digits among
likely voters, or Time’s interview, showing that
the double-digit leader has a double-digit ego telling him: “It’s all about me.”
This is how the interview began:
TIME: What’s the most important thing you’ve learned from the
past four years?
BUSH: I’ve learned I really enjoy the job. It’s a fantastic
moment in my life, obviously. There’s a lot of ups and downs. There’s a lot of high drama and not
much calm so far. But I’ve enjoyed doing it, to the point where I’d like to do it
again.
That’s what he considers the most important thing he learned? That it’s a fantastic moment in
his life and, gee, it’s a thrilling ride? He sounds like a 10-year-old on a roller coaster.
That’s got to be weirder than his double-digit lead, until you wonder who the hell would
vote for such an idiot?
A friend from Berkeley, Ca., writes:
My own parents, who are educated and read books & newspapers [and whoNeither can we.
live in Iowa], voice opinions on every topic (except abortion) which are very nearly my own.
They’re horrified by corporate malfeasance, pollution, global warming, the thought of shedding
American blood for oil. But they’ll be voting for Dopey and Dick in November. Go figure: I
can’t.
