Back to Politics "for real"?

Sure, why not.

Those of us unimpressed with the Pres are quick to suggest that he's… shall we say, not the sharpest tool in the shed? (Maybe a little slow on the uptake? WOW, you really CAN find anything with Google.)

But most of us are aware that he's probably not dumb, per se… more likely simply "intellectually challenged".

I came across this editorial after the first Bush/Kerry debate and I think the author does a really good job of nailing what's up with the way the man thinks.

Is He a Dope?
The Los Angeles Times | Editorial

The gist of this is the question of whether or not the President's actually "a dope"… is he as dumb as we joke/sigh/agitate about. The answer he comes up with is, not too surprisingly, no, not really: "The issue might better be described as one of mental laziness."

(The link above, once again, is to the article on Truthout, since that link remains live long after the LA Times link ends up in the archives, where you have to pay for it. If you're interested in the original, you can look it up here.)
