Why I think Bush is stupid.

[donco6]

It's not his speeches, though they are ample evidence.

It's not his missteps and fumbles, though he's made more than a fool's share of those.

No, it's because he refuses to fire anyone in his inner circle.

To me, that says that he doesn't do any thinking for himself. He relies entirely on his circle to think for him. And they're certainly not saying, "Yes, it would be a good political move for you to fire me - show you're in charge." Rummy's not going to say that. Condi's not saying it. Alberto just got hired, so he's not going to take the fall. Rove? Ha! And yet, they all deserve to be, and doing so would help Bush's poll ratings. But because he cannot think for himself, he'll never do it.

1. That's right he does depend on them like the cards

at the top of a house of cards...

If you remove the lower cards one by one the structure eventually folds in upon itself...That's why we have to remove Cheney, Rove, Condi, Alberto... and Rummy....without them his is absolutely nothing....

And I can't wait until it happens...

2. Firing someone would be an admission that he made a

mistake by having them in his administration. He can't admit to mistakes. That is stupid!

4. He's stubborn that way. Very stubborn.

5. My rat terrier is stubborn too.

I'd put her IQ up against Shrubby's any day. :)

3. Honestly

I don't think he has the power to fire anyone.
