- Quand une télévision
américaine interroge : "Is Bush an 'Idiot' ?"
Pundits Renounce The President
Washington Post 20/08/06
"For 10 minutes, the talk show host grilled his guests
about whether "George Bush's mental weakness is damaging
America's credibility at home and abroad." For 10
minutes, the caption across the bottom of the television
screen read, "IS BUSH AN 'IDIOT'?"
But the host was no liberal media elitist. It was Joe
Scarborough, a former Republican congressman turned MSNBC
political pundit. And his answer to the captioned question was
hardly "no." While other presidents have been called
stupid, Scarborough said: "I think George Bush is in a
league by himself. I don't think he has the intellectual depth
as these other people..."
"...While the country does not want a leader wallowing in
the weeds, Scarborough concluded on the segment, "we do
need a president who, I think, is intellectually curious."
"And that is a big question," Scarborough said,
"whether George W. Bush has the intellectual curiousness
-- if that's a word -- to continue leading this country over
the next couple of years."
In a later telephone interview, Scarborough said he aired the
segment because he kept hearing even fellow Republicans
questioning Bush's capacity and leadership, particularly in
Iraq. Like others, he said, he supported the war but now
thinks it is time to find a way to get out. "A lot of
conservatives are saying, 'Enough's enough,' " he said.
Asked about the reaction to his program, he said, "The
White House is not happy about it." "
