Some Evidence That Bush May In Fact Be Sick, Not Stupid

    I’m not a Bush fan (at all), but I don’t think that the video is really fair. There is an enormous difference between being President and being governor. A governor in a debate doesn’t need to worry about more than a handful of issues. A president has to worry about MANY MANY more. Furthermore, ANYONE who talks in front of a camera as much as a president does will have lapses which make him or her look like an idiot when those clips are played in isolation. The video presents the case as if it was simply factual information when in fact it is a sequence of video clips carefully chosen to prove a point. I’m not convinced that the video PROVES anything.

    I don’t think it proves anything either; In fact, I think it did little more than awaken me to the idea that he could have dementia. The video in and of itself isn’t all that compelling, but when you consider what’s happened during the last few years I think the case is pretty good.
