Not at all Curious George


Good op-ed piece in Newsday about Shrub

This is the moron who holds the presidency and is the de-facto leader of the free world:


It was, however, Bush's towering lack of intellect that defined him. "That (Bush) coasted on his family name was understandable," said Yale frat brother Tom Wilner. "Lots of guys do that. But Georgie, as we called him then, has absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn't interested in ideas or books or causes. He didn't travel; he didn't read the newspapers; he didn't watch the news ... How he got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me."


He didn't want to know about those other places or those other people! If they weren't going to show up at The Club or as part of another foursome, who cares! He wasn't going to have to deal with those people. Shrub spent four years interested in getting drunk and doing cheerleaders, the newspaper used too many big words and the TV news didn't talk about anything he was interested in anyway. No wonder a nation of Reality TV fans think he's great! He doesn't know or care any more about the world then they do and probably has less of a world view then they have - they after all watched years of Survivor . Shrub lives his own version of a reality show, allegedly running without a script but with the "right" out come written in stone.
