... Go look at what
some of the 9/11 panel members (including the partisan ben-Veniste)
had
to
say about Bush's performance before their committee.

Uh huh. And do you think that GWB went in front of that committee and
spoke his mind, with no prep and no rehearsing?

There was grumbling among committee members because Bush told them he'd
give
them just an hour of his time. I translated that to mean that an hour is
as
much of an attention span as he could muster.



So to answer your question: no I don't think Bush is a moron for
having
misspoke.

If it was just misusing a word now and then, I'd agree. But he rambles
like a moron and misuses words constantly. He's actually funnier than
the people who mimic him... or at least, he would be if it weren't so
scary that he is actually the President.

Last week, he spewed some nonsense about how if we'd drilled for oil in
Alaska in the early to mid 1990s, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in
today.
That was the best he could come up with as a solution to our oil
dependency.

That's NPR for you. They conveniently left out where Bush's proposal calls
for half of the money derived from oil lease sales in Alaska to be spent on
research and development of alternative energy means.

Bush ties alternative energy research to Arctic drilling money

RENO, Nev. (AP) - President Bush's new budget anticipates $2.4 billion in
oil lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by 2005, with half
the money to be spent to research solar, wind, geothermal and other
alternative energy, an assistant secretary said Friday.
