not to mention the fact that just because someone isn't officially part of the administration that their phone doesn't work. i agree with mixed and jazz on this...i don't think bush is stupid, but i'd have to say rather inept. he leaves much to be desired in what i would like from a presidential candidate; ironically, it frequently seems that the very qualities which i dislike in him are those which resonate most strongly with voters. then again, our country is falling behind in education levels, but perhaps that's another story.
point being that much of what this administration has tried to pull off has been in the works in thinktanks for years...the guiding philosophy of this administration didn't materialize on a ranch down in texas or a frathouse at yale, or connetticutt, or wherever bush is really from.
and specifically to the op - things like this situation, or when he started rubbing merkel's shoulders a few years ago, or etc etc etc..why does the image of the idiot resonate so strongly with 'conservative' voters? i thought 'conservatives' believed that by hard work and education, you could raise yourself up. how do poor uneducated people consider themselves to be the same 'conservatives' that super-rich 'conservatives' are? it never ceases to amaze me. so having someone like bush is the natural choice. white collar, good family, old money....and the appearance of a farmer so stupid he'd be made fun of by the other farmers. sells like hotcakes!
