Gene Lyons on President Dilbert

Last week, Wilkerson gave a speech at the New American Foundation in Washington blaming a secretive “ cabal between the vice president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld,” for seizing power from an ignorant, intellectually lazy president. They were aided, he said, by “an extremely weak national security adviser” (Condoleezza Rice ), who told Bush whatever he wanted to hear “to build her intimacy with the president.”

It sounds like a comic strip : President Dilbert.

1. No, at least Dilbert is intelligent

W is more like the pointy-haired one . . . and Rove or Cheney is the not-cute version of Dogbert . . .

2. It's President David Brent (or President Michael Scott)

ie The Office. A boss who thinks he's funny and likeable, but who gets on people's nerves, who is lazy, ignorant (but doesn't realise it), and when put under pressure, blames everyone around him for his mistakes.
