Bush looked annoyed.


What is a good word for someone who *thinks* he's right
and has no doubt about it, but that is actually wrong? I'm
not just looking for jerk or simpelton but something that
actually conveys that concept of thinking you are right
(or in the right) when in reality you are not.


Anyway, Bush looked like he *knows* and *feels* that
he is in the right and is doing everything right and that
anyone who askes him any questions about it or says
otherwise is just wasting his time.


Kerry looked presidential.




I don't know the word, either, but Kerry addressed the behavior at one point
by saying it's one thing to be committed to an idea initially, but wrong to
be totally inflexible as new information is discovered. I'm sure this idea
was lost on Bush.
