You can't honestly believe that Bush should have invaded all these countries in a grand campaign of global conquest. To even suggest such a thing is reckless and suspect. It does not indicate serious thought or opinion on the matter.
Bush is by no means perfect, and he'd be the first to tell you. But despite, and quite possibly because of misperceptions of him, he has managed to develop a very impressive resume as a master politician who accomplishes what he sets out to do.
Don't be fooled by the malapropisms and aw shucks demeanor of this man. With them, he has disarmed and defeated much more formidable opponents than either of us would ever want to face.
The pattern of people "misunderestimating" Bush, followed by subsequent shock at his successes, continues unabated. It just so happens that those who misjudge him both lack patience and insight, otherwise they would abandon the absurd treadmill upon which they run long ago.
And all the while they rail and complain against him, he quietly turns them to serve his purposes.
But that's impossible, right? After all, he's too stupid to win every time.
I hear that every time he wins, which happens to be very often, indeed.
Just ask the decimated and demoralized remnants of the Texas House of Representatives's Democratic caucus. They are so desparate and destitute that they have literally fled the state!
You might recall that the Democrats ran Texas with an iron fist before Dubya rode into town.
It bears repeating again and again: misunderestimate Bush at your peril!
(If I had a dime for every time Bush's critics were right about him, I'd need to borrow a dime.)
Excellent analysis! Love your tag line!
