had i not thought myself excluded from posting by the op, i would have said something like loquitor did above--except that i am a more cynical fellow (too much machiavelli in my head maybe)--so how exactly do you go about imagining that you know "the character"--that dimension of someone that "does not change" (?? are you serious?) from the 24/7 marketing of an *image* tailored to *imply* a character?
and do you really connect the devolution of the bush administration since 2001 to personal attributes of george w bush?
on what possible basis?
jg ballard was right about televised american democracy--it's paradoxical effect is to turn many spectators into ultra-monarchists--the legitimacy of the order is a function of the person of the Leader--which can be derived by staring long and hard at the king's spectral body. it is very very strange.
