I've read articles about W that refer to the "cone of silence" around him, into which no bad news is allowed. So his Pollyanna-like "Mission Accomplished" pronouncements are blamed on a total disconnect from reality.
Humorist Dave Barry has a different explanation: there is a "Dumb Ray" in the attic of the White House. So intelligent people like Richard Nixon get there and say things like, "I know what let's do, let's sit around talking about commiting felonies while recording the conversation!" And Clinton ... OK, never mind, this is a family website ...
