LOS ANGELES, April 16 (Reuters) - "Incurious," a rarely used word, is making a curious comeback as pundits dust it off to describe President George W. Bush's alleged lack of curiosity about intelligence reports prior to Sept. 11, 2001, according to a California language expert.

Paul JJ Payack, founder of the Global Language Monitor, which tracks word usage on the Web and elsewhere, said that since he first spotted it used in a March Time Magazine report, it had appeared some 5,000 times, jumping about 1,000 uses after the New York Times lead editorial on Thursday was headlined "The Price of Incuriosity."

"Americans knew George W. Bush was incurious man when they elected him, but the hearings of the 9/11 commission, which turned yesterday (Wednesday) from the F.B.I.'s fecklessness to the C.I.A.'s blurred vision, have brought that fact home in a startling way," the Times said.

The Times then went on to criticize the president for not seeming to show enough curiosity about a CIA briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S."

9. Using the word "incurious" to describe *

is being too damn polite. It's time to stop with the superficial rhetoric. It's time to report, print and say the truth. The man is an arrogant and corrupt poor excuse for a human being..
