This reminds me of the time I initiated a conversation with the 3-year-old grandson of a friend.

His deficient vocabulary and immature thought processes soon had me wondering why I had made the effort to communicate.

"His deficient vocabulary and immature thought processes soon had me wondering why I had made the effort to communicate."

"Tempted though some may be to glean talking points from the tragedy, this is no time for sermonizing about failed intelligence or soured imperialism. This is a season for a heartsick nation to mourn our fallen and commend our heroes. Details will surface soon enough, but they won't fill empty chairs at dinner tables. Buildings can be reconstructed; broken families cannot." - Pat Buchanan, Sept 12, 2001

"In the presidential campaign of 2000, we failed to make foreign policy the issue. But what I said then retains relevance: "How can all our meddling not fail to spark some horrible retribution ...." - Pat Buchanan, Sept 18, 2001

Yep, makes you wonder what kind of thought process was going through Pat's head. One day he's saying don't use this incident for grandstanding, a couple days later he's using it for grandstanding. But I won't go as far as you and call that immature. I think he started out great then surrendered to the perpetual politician within.

But if you want to call him immature go ahead...and here I always thought you were just a blind follower.
