h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

How do I describe the depth of disappointment some of us feel in Bush Jr. (Dubbayuh for short)? (We had some horrible premonitions on Sept 11 but we hoped they might be wrong ...) There have been moments, probably grasping-at-straws moments when it seemed he might redeem himself, as when some learned European (I have a bad memory for names) suggested that the reality of American politics can force a president to indulge in low-grade melodrama. For a happy few seconds I imagined he could just be pretending to be impossibly stupid.

But then I remembered that awful moment ("This ... war, this ... CRUSADE ...") and I realised I really was just imagining it. Nobody pretends to be that stupid. What would be the point?

Dear Dubbayuh, Please don't seriously expect us to teach our children that international politics is black and white.

Dear Dubbayuh, Please cease and desist from using the words 'evil' and 'evildoers'.

Dear Dubbayuh, Aren't you getting a bit long in the tooth for the cowboy outfit?

How does he look to all of you?

I think the answer is "Ook!" but that's insulting to many primates.
