The Misunderestimated Man
How Bush chose stupidity
It's Friday, so here's something fun: an article that considers whether President Bush's well-chronicled troubles with the English language are really indicative of a larger problem. The answer, of course, is yes, but there's more to it than that, according to Jacob Weisberg: Bush wears his stupidity like a shield, deflecting difficult charges by appearing not to know what's going on. This, strangely, makes it very difficult to stop him, and hard to criticize him without also feeling sorry for him. Enjoy.
