HL Mencken hit the nail right on the head.
"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Congrats, HL, you got it right.

2. The more Americans I meet...
the more I realize that Bush is the perfect President for this country. He really does reflect the soul of this nation and its people. I wish it weren't so, but it's the truth.
