re: Bush insiders slam lack of discussion
...knows without learning, and operates on "intuition and hunch"...
That reminds me of an interview I saw with the late Sonny Bono, who was once asked how much he knew about a certain issue (I'm sorry, I've forgotten the details...another Rock Solid McFly Reference™, huh?)
Anywho, he responded by saying that he really didn't know much about it and wasn't particularly interested in learning. I didn't get the impression he was being snide...the comment came across as brutal and painful honesty.
Sometimes I think that tree did us all a favor.
