it was OK to call Bush a total moron? I was watching a rerun of SNL on Comedy Central this afternoon and Charlie Sheen, coming off his involvement in a scandal involving drugs and hookers, made a wonderful joke. An audience member asked him if he's considered following in his father's footsteps and playing the president on TV. He responded, essentially, "I don't think people want a president who's been on cocaine, who's been arrested, and who isn't very smart."
No one remembers that Bush was a cokehead, that he drove drunk and tried to hide it. And his lack of intelligence is so blatant that the media doesn't even talk about it anymore--it's a given. Without 9/11 to transform the Bush presidency, I think we'd still be hearing these jokes and waiting for the long national nightmare to end. Even if you agree with the things he's done--and I know many people do, though the reasons why, except the most cynical, escape me--how can you think Bush is the right person to be doing them?
