The “dumb” theme spreads
WAS THE IMMIGRATION BILL COLLAPSE A DEFEAT FOR BUSH? Yes, but: On the other hand, the immigration compromise was almost universally disliked and threatened to split the GOP coalition. Maybe its death was a blessing for the president. Unless he’s dumb enough to bring it up again, which I predict he will be.
A Google search of Bush Dumb brings up about 1.7 million responses. This opinion started out mostly on the Left, but, after the issues of the war, Harriet Miers, and the immigration bill, among other matters, that opinion no longer appears to be the exclusive province of the President’s political opponents.
