Blumental captures Bush perfectly as the deaf, dumb and blind stooge pretending to run a country. It doesn't matter which Shakespearean character one uses for comparison they are all more articulate and eloquent than the incurious and shallow boy-king. To his detractors none of this is new.
Katrina served up the quintessential Bush: unprepared, uncaring, incurious, uninterested. Obviously his coaches weren't around him in Crawford, without whom he can't get the script right. After 9/11 you would think he learned something about symbolism, if not substance, but he obviously hasn't. "We are prepared." Indeed. The man is drunk on his sense of entitlement, if not just plain drunk.
Bush has a flat learning curve. How many of his supporters are brain dead as well?
