AtDDtA1: Thick and halfwit

[Ya Sam]

"Pocono Summit, PA. It was here, in the parking lot of Cramer's building 
supply, only 15 miles from a Nascar racetrack, in a pivotal battleground 
state, on the back of a battered work van, that we saw the first one. 
"Somewhere in Texas," the bumper sticker said, "a village is missing its 
idiot." The next Bush-is-thick sticker showed up at Home Depot on the back 
of an equally battered pick-up driven by a tough-looking kid dressed for 
construction work. It said:

BUSH
LIKE A ROCK

ONLY DUMBER

These are signs of the fierce conviction of some voters - and the secret 
fear of a quieter and perhaps larger group - that George Bush is not smart 
enough to continue as president. Indeed, if an unscientific survey of bumper 
stickers, graffiti and letters to the editor in this conservative mountain 
region of eastern Pennsylvania is an indicator, doubts are spreading, and 
probably not in a way helpful to the Republicans."

"As the narrative unfolds, we meet a halfwit President Bush, a haughty 
Condoleezza, a dark and forbidding Paul Wolfowitz, a feeble Richard 
Dearlove, a servile David Manning, a tinpot Alastair Campbell and, etched 
more clearly than anyone else, a sweaty and unctuous Tony Blair, 
contemptuously dismissed by Vice-President Dick Cheney as "a preacher on top 
of a tank". Not all of these caricatures rang true. For example, those 
European politicians who really believe that Bush is a halfwit are condemned 
to be dominated and manipulated by him, probably for four more years."
