Bush’s one-hour interview with Brit Hume on Fox yesterday gave the the Democrats better advertising than they could have hoped for. The only thing Bush managed to accomplish was to respond to each question with one of his four available emotions: arrogance, cluelessness, feigned indifference, and faux dignity. The low point came when Bush compared himself to Lincoln. I think the average high-school civics student has a better idea of the roles and responsibilities of the Presidency that George does. One can only hope that any further damage he does to our economy, foreign policy, and environment can be held to a minimum for the next 18 months until General Clark is elected. Amazingly, a recent poll showed Clark leading Bush by three percentage points in a head-to-head matchup. Maybe the American people deserve a bit more credit than I thought.
