Re: Would You Hire This Man To Run Your Company -- Let Alone The Country?
What would you think if you interviewed someone who's knowledge of current events was pretty important, someone applying for a job such as news editor or stock analyst. Let's say he made repeated logical and grammatical gaffes like "steadfast progress," "misunderestimate," how illiteracy "are appalling," that he said "finances" when he meant finance and "persecute" when he meant prosecute and the like. When you gently probed how he came to know all he does, he admitted that he "rarely" read newspapers and instead relied on assistants who "probably" read them to tell him what's happening in the world.
You'd spend the interview biting your cheeks until they were bloody, wondering how a middle aged man could remain as limited as a teenager, how he faked his resume, and what failing of your own staff let him slip through, hoping perhaps that he was ushered in for your amusement or maybe as a practical joke.
This is someone whom most Republicans can be gulled into hailing as a great and important leader, thanks to the miracle of television.
(All authentic Bushisms).
