In a news conference today, George Bush expressed faith in his log time political advisor, Karl Rove, his baseball friend, Rafael Palmeiro, and the theory of Intelligent Design. The key word here is “faith.” He has faith in Rove, even though evidence has been building that Rove was instrumental in revealing the name of a CIA agent, Valerie Plame. He has faith in his baseball playing friend, even though Palmeiro was suspended for using steroids. And he has faith in the “theory” of Intelligent Design, even though it is unsupported by scientific evidence. These three examples, stunning in their appearance all in one day, demonstrate clearly how unprepared Bush is to run the country and oversee the world, tasks he has ostensibly taken on due to his job as president of the world’s most powerful country. The rest of the world must be terrified.
