PastaJoe Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I wouldn't say they're stupid, but they are too overconfident, self-righteous, stubborn, and obsessed to consider the facts when they differ with their perceptions, and unwilling to correct their course based on the facts. They are very clever, but they are also very wrong in their conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if I may be allowed to quote what a senior White House official once told me: "My boss is an idiot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Probably because someone in the administration who is tired of listening to Bush paint a rosey picture of Iraq has a conscience and leaked it. And don't look for any names anytime soon, we're still waiting for the name of who leaked Joe Wilson's wife's identity to Novak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
