So it’s hit the news in recent days that a former “friend” of Dubya recorded many of their conversations during the 2000 campaign. The biggest fuss about all this seems to be the part where Bush implies that he had smoked marijuana before. Of course he has, it just must not have worked on him or something…

These tapes may have confirmed my worst fear though, something I’ve thought but never knew for sure: Bush is real. That is, he truly believes what he says, i.e. he wouldn’t have admitted to smoking marijuana because “I don’t want some kid doing what I tried.”

He’s no actor like Ronald Reagan, though Ronnie may have been a dumb puppet as well. But the “Bush is dumb” thing might have gotten out of hand too. The guy must have some smarts in there, just not as much as a president should.

I think it might be important for people to try to understand the way this administration works rather than just say “he’s dumb” or “he’s lying”, it may be more complex than that.
