Peggy Noonan sums up the President

This comes from the opinion page of the conservative Wall Street Journal...
"What real damage has been done to the White House? It got dinged in three areas: competence, the myth of luck, and the ability to inspire fear."
and...
"I sometimes think of what a friend said of him years ago: There are two misconceptions about Mr. Bush; one is that he's dumb, and the other is that he's sweet."
(full article)

Ummm, so supporters of the president think Bush is:
1) incompetent
2) unlucky
3) uninspiring and nothing to be afraid of
4) smarter than people think
5) not very nice

Queenie's Daughter agrees with this assessment and is even more baffled than ever as to how this man got "voted" into office not once but twice. Are we really a country of self haters who wish to be crushed under the heels of incompetent, unlucky, uninspiring, not-quite-as-dumb-as-they-look bastards?
It's possible.
It certainly would account for our current political climate, our societies anonymes, reality TV and SUV's. It could also shed some light on popular culture. However, QD is cheered by the notion that Noonan's observations about the shrub are right on and it proves yet again the Queen's oft stated belief that even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Way to go Noonan.
Goodnight.
