Former Treasury Sec. Paints Bush as 'Blind Man' By REUTERS

Filed at 10:40 a.m. ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill likened President Bush at Cabinet meetings to ``a blind man in a room full of deaf people,'' according to excerpts on Friday from a CBS interview.

``As I recall it was just a monologue,'' he told CBS' ``60 Minutes,'' which will broadcast the entire interview on Sunday. In making the blind man analogy, O'Neill told CBS his ex-boss did not encourage a free flow of ideas or open debate.

``There is no discernible connection,'' CBS quoted O'Neill as saying. The president's lack of engagement left his advisers with ``little more than hunches about what the president might think,'' O'Neill said, according to the program.

I think I hear a thundering herd of Viking Kittens approaching. I would read this article, it looks like something worthy of debate, unfortunately, the poster appears to be barely literate, and lacks the means to debate with any sort of intelligence.

Uh huh. And then there are those who get all a-twitter because there is supposedly such heated disagreement in the administration over other issues.

The truths lies somewhere in the middle.
