Slate.com Editor-in-Chief's Diagnosis: Bush Has a Learning Disability

Veteran Washington journalist and Slate.com Editor-in-Chief Jacob Weisberg has a theory about the awkward nature some say President George W. Bush exhibits in his public speeches – Bush has a learning disability. Weisberg linked it back to a pattern of dyslexia in the Bush family.

“I agree with that,” Weisberg said when presented the possibility that Bush has a “learning disability.”

Meet Jacob Weisberg. This little runt is just about tall enough to reach my zipper. No wonder he's bitter -- lib-women can kick his butt!

Weisberg has a disease called Liberal Tourette’s. He spews liberal nonsense without ever thinking about what he’s saying.

Come join the fun. Become a FR addict.

At least make a comment on your post.

I thought the purpose of FR was to post articles and discuss them.

It seems that NOW, if anyone posts an article that that is negative about Bush, instead of debating the article, and criticizing the author, many posters want to SHOOT THE MESSENGER.

Your remark (kind of bold) was not an attack. I understand what you were saying, and maybe the poster you were addressing did as well.

But it reminded me of a pattern I have noticed, and your comment gave me an opportunity to voice my opinion.

Really! A learning disability impedes the way you take up information. The president has no problem with that. He might have a production disability that affects his communication of information he knows. Two completely and ususally unrelated things.

It is not learning disability it is a different way of processing information.

I have it also but to Jeff Poor because the majority uses one method that is support to the norm.

One must remember the rest of the population also has various ways of processing knowledge and have to make adjustments to the norm template.

I think the last line from that article says about all anyone needs to know.

“Weisberg is a former editor of The New Republic. He was also a Washington correspondent for Newsweek and has written for The New York Times Magazine and Vanity Fair.”

“SHOOT THE MESSENGER”

Suspicions are raised when the poster makes no comment on the article that he/she/it has posted. Especially very new posters. Other possibility is a retread who has been caught.
(or even the mods jump too quick)

Looks like the account is not zotted yet.
