WHO'S MY POLITICAL ZERO?

It's almost a toss-up between President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, but my "vote" here goes to Bush, because at least I can bring myself to admiring Cheney's level of intelligence. I don't feel that way about Bush. He spends money like a liberal, has no respect for civil liberties, he feels too much entitlement to privilege, and he's not a thinker. Critics talk about how they would like to see the missing records from Bush's "service" in the National Guard. I would much rather see his academic papers from Yale and the Harvard Business School. From listening to him in both prepared speeches and interviews, I truly wonder whether he had enough intellectual gravity to put together a coherent term paper that would meet the standards of any four-year college, much less an Ivy League institution.
