George W. Bush Conquers Reality

"When he was president, Bill Clinton's intelligence and articulateness set up a natural adversarial relationship with the press, much of it unconsciously scripted; reporters felt a natural competitive instinct to challenge Clinton, to match wits with him in a part-playful, part-serious jousting match, in an effort to show off their skills in front of peers and the public. George Bush, in contrast, disarms the press with his witlessness. How do you punch a marshmallow? Or better, why would you punch a marshmallow?"

This is an especially relevant (and bleakly hysterical) anti-Bush editorial. I love the Boondocks reference . . .
