Among Conservative Voices, Discord
Sunday, August 20, 2006; A04
Washington PostFor 10 minutes, the talk show host grilled his guests about whether "George Bush's mental weakness is damaging America's credibility at home and abroad." For 10 minutes, the caption across the bottom of the television screen read, "IS BUSH AN 'IDIOT'?"
But the host was no liberal media elitist. It was Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman turned MSNBC political pundit. And his answer to the captioned question was hardly "no." While other presidents have been called stupid, Scarborough said: "I think George Bush is in a league by himself. I don't think he has the intellectual depth as these other people."
These have been tough days politically for President Bush, what with his popularity numbers mired in the 30s and Republican candidates distancing themselves as elections near. He can no longer even rely as much on once-friendly voices in the conservative media to stand by his side, as some columnists and television commentators lose faith in his leadership and lose heart in the war in Iraq.
While most conservative media figures have not abandoned Bush, influential opinion-makers increasingly have raised questions, expressed doubts or attacked the president outright, particularly on foreign policy, on which he has long enjoyed their strongest support. In some cases, they have complained that Bush has drifted away from their shared principles; in other cases, they think it is the implementation that has fallen short. In most instances, Iraq figures prominently.
Dubya's has never been a big detail oriented guy, but he's really an effective salesman who knows just enough to convince his audience that what he is selling is a good buy, even if it really isn't, but he couldn't tell you the nuts and bolts of how what he is selling works. He leaves that to the brainiacs.
I find this interesting that media pundits like Scarborough, a conservative, are using such a derogatory word as 'idiot' to describe a President and an administration which will effectively shut you out of interviews and leaks if they feel that you publicly diss them. I can't help but think this is some sort of ploy to gain sympathy for Dubya.

I have a better question. Mine or yours?? Who is a better idiot?
Nah, simply put, he is not too bright.
He must be doing something right, he's currently running the most powerful country in the world.
He won two popularity contests. Paris Hilton is popular as , and SHE sure as is an idiot.He must be doing something right, he's currently running the most powerful country in the world.
Into the ground.He must be doing something right, he's currently running the most powerful country in the world.
C'mon Aggie, the guy is not too bright.He must be doing something right, he's currently running the most powerful country in the world.
Admit it.
There seems to be an epidemic of idiot presidents over here in America
You got that straight, buddy!There seems to be an epidemic of idiot presidents over here in America
He is one dumb mother a! Dude should never have been able to even run for president. We have the dumbest leader of any ing country! This motha a says some of the stupidest/ignorant I have ever heard a politician say. We need Clinton back to blaze blunts and get boss head while running the country perfectly!
Thabo Mbeki is probably dumber than Bush.
Yes he is.
I'm just having fun with the obvious inferiority complex some on this site have towards our president.
Why does Joe Scarborough hate America?
we know a few things... money doesn't buy the presidency or ross perot would have been president by now...
bush is THE LEADER OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATION ON EARTH.
my vote is an idiot doesn't become president of the USA.
"my vote is an idiot doesn't become president of the USA."
... speaking for the idiots who voted for dubya, and prove everyday they haven't seen the error of their idiotic ways.
We are only short away from the point where evil puppetmaster head and his wood-brained dubya will have wasted as many military lives in Iraq as Osama wasted in his WTC atack.
Osama got lots of bang for his $200K attack.
head and dubya got absolutely nothing back for their $1T phony Repug Iraq war.
lmao...
If he is, what does that say about the pathetic Party that couldn't unseat him? Bigger idiots?
If you think this guy is bright, then you have not watched his speaches enough.
I'm not saying he is an idiot, a la boutons, just pointing out he is simply not a bright person.
gd question,but it is hard to answer it.
In my eyes Bush makes USA so strong ,which is his
contribution but he hurt too many ppl in the middle east
Am I fat and ugly?
I think that's a pretty good assessment of the situation.
And he didn't really even win the first one - he and his brother cheated.
That is something that really concerns me - America holds itself up as a paragon of democracy, and yet the results of the last two elections have been compromised by all manner of scandal and suggestion of illegality. Oh, and a paragon of justice that won't try the guys in Guantanamo Bay.
Hypocrisy at that level doesn't hlep the US's image overseas.
