[lbo-talk] Napoleon, Hitler, Bush

[joanna bujes]

The adulation of small, vicious, obscure men who make it may not be 
surprising -- considering the number of people who are small, angry, and 
obscure.

What is unusual about Bush is the fact that he is an extraordinarly 
privileged man who, by dint of a PR machine (and unequalled 
meanness/smallness) has managed to capture the same audience and the 
same sentiments.

The first time as tragedy; the second time as farce--as the bearded one 
put it.
