The Great Dis-communicator

Is Bush on Quaaludes? I have just heard him on radio droning on about not "giving up hard won ground." He sounds as though he is on downers. Maybe he is. It is now an established fact that Nixon was on drugs during the final days of his presidency. Bush could be following suit on the grounds that he has plenty to be depressed about. Maybe he should try LSD instead.

Bush sounds as though he is reading everything badly. Having a candidate who cannot read properly and sounds unconvincing on radio is a bit of a setback for the neopcons who wnat ot take the USA back to the days before FDR. Their cheerleader is losing his cheeriness. Supporters of Bush (they still exist) point out that Reagan was dimissed in a similar way by smart arse liberals like me. But that is plain silly because for all his self-confessed intellectual short comings Ronnie was a great communicator. He made people laugh. You felt yourself believing him even when you knew he was talking complete bollocks.
