Doug:

from Robert Dreyfuss' alarming article in the May issue of The American Prospect on how Dick Cheney is running everything <http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewPrint&articleId=11401

--------

I read this last night. It is a very good article.

On the other hand the quote gives a somewhat misleading example. Sure Bush is stupid beyond comprehension, but the real thrust of the piece goes to Cheney and his use of the OVP. It is alarming and chilling stuff. It helps explain why there seems to be such a disconnect between Bush who is incapable of abstract thought, and an executive branch apparatus run with such Machiavellian acridity.
