Why does everyone act surprised when

President Bush turns in a lousy performance at a press conference? After five long terrible years of his so called "leadership" you'd think the punditariat would realize that explaining "stuff" depends on "understanding" stuff, and neither activity is Bush's strong suit.
In fact as soon as any facts at all are inserted into the discussion you can see the President's eyes glaze over as he stammers and staggers thru an unfamiliar minefield.
Conveying his feelings and beliefs, however mendacious, malevolent or irrational is much more GWB's style. There he can lie with fratboy gusto, narrow his eyes, smirk and pretend to be a real live "don't give a shit" type Cowboy.
Unfortunately for the Prez, the facts have been crashing in big and hard lately so he is wa-ay off his game and will only be moreso as we roll along toward's political collapse.
