Sunstein has always struck me as a pretty smart guy, so his comment that he thought Bush Jr. could be a good president comes as a shock.
Anyone who bothered to read that now notorious Vanity Fair profile of Bush before the 2000 election would have known exactly what we were getting... and "good president" is not it.
People who knew Jr. knew exactly what he was. The tragedy is that the people who should have known better were the ones doing the most rah-rah-ing as a sly and terribly dangerous man was appointed to the White House by GOP justices on the Supreme Court.
Cass should go back and read now what he should have read then. Maybe then he wouldn't say such waterheaded things.
