Ditto for Giulliani.  His very appropriate and measured dictum "New York is
stronger than this" is the polar opposite of Bush's initial "we will get
you" redneck rant.  Bush's evening speech on that day was somewhat better,
but he was again grasping for words during his yesterday's Pentagon visit.  

But that does not necessarily mean his intellectual inferiority (could be
dyslexia) - it simply means that a charismatic leader he is not.
