Who Knew?

With all the jokes about little Georgie being dumb, being petulant, not being up to the job, and hitting the bottle again, I think Americans need to cut Chimpie some slack. There is a lot more intelligence and sensitivity between those ears than people give him credit for :

'Andrew H. Card Jr., the president's chief of staff until last spring, said that whatever Bush did in Iraq would probably fall short of many of the commission's recommendations, and that he was likely to continue making decisions that he believed were right even if they were unpopular. Referring to Bush's secret intelligence briefings, Card said, "The president by definition knows more than any of those people who are serving on these panels."

"The president's obligations sometimes require him to be very lonely," he said.'
