People, stop thinking Bush is stupid. He's not. He's evil.

"Bush's political opponents are caught in a fantasy that they can win against him simply by proving the superiority of their ideas. However, people do not support Bush for the power of his ideas, but out of the despair and desperation in their hearts."

That quote was from A nation of victims (via Burningbird), an article in The Nation that examines Bush's "mastery of emotional language--especially negatively charged emotional language--as a political tool". It makes for grim, but intriguing, reading.

This man must be stopped.
