Bush Is A Moron

That is, Bush is a moron when he lets toads like this hop out of his mouth:

"What if we became a country again that knows that we're true to our promise, because never again is there bigotry or hatred in the leadership of our nation?"

Huh? Fortunately, an aide was there to explain to the reporter that "[Kerry] had inadvertently melded two lines from his speech".

Bush is also a moron when he shows no awareness of our nation's history:

"We've always had leadership that was willing to level with the American people".

That leadership includes Johnson, Nixon (I think Kerry remembers some of their "leveling", in a different context), Reagan, and Clinton (forget Monica - I am thinking of Clinton's promise that our peacekeepers in Bosnia would be home by the end of the year, a promise taken as so absurd when he said it that it's breach was not even viewed as a lie).

OK, the "they all lie" defense is not the best route for Bush supporters to take (and I am not). But one might expect Kerry or his listeners to pause briefly on the absurdity of this.

Hmmm.

What the hell are you talking about?

The first link is for Kerry at the NYT. The reference doesn't show up in that article.

So how is this related to Bush?

WTF?

This is all very nuanced - *if* Bush had said these things, we would see them in "Bushisms" and he would be derided as a moron; since Kerry said them, no one cares.

Ahhh thanks!

Ok. So I'm not subtle. :)
