Comments on: Bush est-il un idiot ? http://insidetheusa.net/2006/08/19/bush-est-il-idiot/ J'ai vécu aux Etats-Unis, en Pennsylvanie sur le campus de Pennstate University, de janvier 2003 à novembre 2005. J'ai témoigné grâce à ce blog et vous invite à consulter les archives de cette période. De retour en France, je continue à m'intéresser à ce fabuleux pays.

Et j’aime bien aussi la question d’introduction de l’émission : vaut-il mieux un président intelligent ou un président qui sache s’entourer avec les bonnes personnes ? Sans doute une façon de se rassurer car Bush dit gouverner plus avec son “instinct”. Un président intelligent saurait bien s’entourer de toute façon…

I am putting a link to it on my blog. I very much liked Joe Scarborough 's conclusion: "We do need a president who is intellectually curious." It would be very interesting too, to get the opinion of say, a linguist, to find out if Bush's "linguistic ineptitude" might be linked to stupidity. Very interesting post, Jerome.
