* doesn't have a clue what the word "democracy" means.
I was just listening to his press conference with Putin and he goes on and on about the birth and maturation process of a democracy using vague, amorphous generalizations. His discourse involved several repetition of three or four pretty inane platitudes. Not once did he present a definition what constitutes democracy in his mind. It struck me that he is pretty about process and we are not using this well. Content balls up his entire machine of process and image oriented suits. Dems in power have also gravitated toward the same two proclivities. Man, they need to come out with content--substance. Facts. Flesh out the weasel words and explain the pictures.

2. sure he does. It rhymes with theocracy.
and that is all he needs to know. Those voices in his head agree.

Come now, you are not suggesting that Bush reads those speachie thingies without understanding their content, are you? Our grate Communicator? Unaware, detached from reality, easily angered and unable to deal with opinions different than his own, petty, evil, partisan ways? Not our president!

No, this man is the grandest thing since sliced bread, if you happen to be on the Atkins diet.

As for the pictures you seek, recall that this idiot needs a DVD presentation just to learn that there is a storm brewing in the south. A DVD PRESENTATION! My god, does this man not know how to read? In our complex, difficult and dangerous world, our PRESIDENT needs personalized coloring books and movies in order to explain a topic like a hurricane?

I suspect that even the hardcore religious bigots on the ultra-neocon right are beginning to have second thoughts about their leader. Those that bother to think, that is.
