Being the president means never asking for directions

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

BOSTON — Now that her 15 minutes of fame are over, may I tip my hat to Linda Grabel? It isn't easy to give the president of the United States a pop quiz. But at the second debate, the 63-year-old legal secretary asked:

"Please give three instances in which you came to realize you had made a wrong decision and what you did to correct it."

By now it's well known that the president couldn't come up with a single mistake except, shucks, maybe an appointment or two. The question, as he restated it, was, "did you make a mistake going into Iraq?" And his answer was: "absolutely not."

Was anyone really surprised? George W. Bush is now officially The Man Who Wouldn't Ask Directions. This candidate doesn't do introspection. He's running as the politician who transforms inflexibility into strength.

2. Bush's Economic and Political training.

At "C" student at Yale and a "C" student today.

Bush looked shallow and manipulated to me before the 2000 election.

It appears that he has been fed a 4-year course of Cliff Notes (ideas but no in-depth analysis) of Corporate Conservatism and Neocon political theory.

Bush today talks like someone who memorized only the Cliff Notes.
