You "suffer" from the "belief" that "words" "mean" "something," and 
that what "issues" from "George W. Bush's" "mouth" "ought" to have 
"some" "consistency"--"as if" there were "actually" a "mind" back 
there, as opposed to a bunch of speechwriters churning out 
platiturds... [that was a genuine typo, but I'm going to leave 
it--it's so apt]
