There is something wrong philosophically with how Bush's brain works
http://in.news.yahoo.com/071001/139/6let5.html

Auto-industry legend Lee Iacocca thinks that there 'is something wrong philosophi- cally with how US President George Bush's brain works'.

In an interview with Details magazine, Iacocca said that he campaigned for Bush for thirty years because he knew his mum and dad really well.

"I campaigned for him because I knew his mother and dad for 30 years, and I figured he was from pretty good stock. But Jeb was being groomed, too. They got the wrong kid. There's something wrong philosophi- cally with how Bush's brain works. I feel sorry for him," the New York Post quoted him, as saying.

The 83-year-old also said that he thought former vice president Al Gore was 'nuts' to worry about global warming much ahead of time

"I used to think Gore was nuts in his worrying about global warming, but he was ahead of his time.

1. With age comes wisdom (sometimes)
He absolutely despises W., and it's good to see him call Gore "ahead of his time." That's a pretty good "two-fer," and I for one will accept those positions at face value.

2. I don't think anyone will ever say that GWB was ahead of his
time.

And man has to re-evolve.

6. Insanity gives off that impression.
Really, it's all the followers that are off their rocker. He is driven by his ideology.

7. This is incorrect at so many levels.
First, it assumes the chimp has a brain.

Second, it assumes that brain works.

Third, is assumes the chimp would know philosophy if he stumbled over it on his way to a seminar on philosophy for dummies.

8. He thinks Jr. is from "Good stock" and he's passing judgment on someone else's brain?

10. You say "philosophi-cally" I say "alcoholic-ally", let's call the whole thing mass-murder
and put him on trial.
