George W Bush, ... Genius?

John Hinderaker at Powerlineblog.com seems to think so, however hyperbolic his imagery might be:

"It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile."

Gee, a "man of extraordinary vision and brilliance," huh?

Let's recap: A tissue of lies leading us into a real shitburger of a war, 'compassionate conservatism' that actually leaves a wider gap between poor and rich while savaging the middle class, funneling Federal money to support religious groups, taking liberties away from the American people in exchange for the illusion of security.

Shall I go on? Not much room for brilliance or vision there, is there?

Ah, but Hinderaker was talking about a global warming protocol that won't actually DO anything to stop global warming. Yep, that's sheer genius there.

George W Bush. Genius? No, more like an idiot savant.

Minus the savant.
