At a gathering of Texas reporters with our bogus broncobuster -in-chief last Monday, there arose a rather telling exchange between Bush and one of his inquisitors regarding Bush’s flat-lining poll standings. After Bush dismissed the polls, the reporter parried with:

REPORTER: But power is perception.

BUSH: Power is being the President.

Years ago, back in New Jersey, we followers of socio-political theater had a very intellectual term for people who espoused such beliefs. We referred to them as “arrogant pricks.” (Based on the ancient Latin term: “Gasbaggingus dickus maximus.”) It’s no wonder that, as Americans find themselves reeling under Bush’s smirkiness, the populace finds itself with a case of cerebral freezer burn.
