The first is that he uses Orwellian double speak (passing legislation called the &#8220;Clear Skies Initiative&#8221; that allows for more pollution) which really makes me distrust most of what he says. This is especially true after how he promised billions to NYC after 9\/11 which never showed up, after he presented info about Iraq which was flat out wrong &#8211; my list is really long so I&#8217;ll just stop there. The second is that he more times than not sounds like a total idiot. The fact that someone sounding so stupid could have gotten so far upsets me to no end. I take great pride is sounding like I know what I&#8217;m talking about, even when I don&#8217;t have a clue. It turns out that there may be a scientific explanation to my second reason.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.susanohanian.org\/show_letter.php?id=383\">Dr. Joseph M. Price wrote in a letter to the editor<\/a> printed in the October 2004 issue of <em>The Atlantic<\/em> that &#8220;slowly developing cognitive deficits as demonstrated so clearly by the President can represent only one diagnosis and that is pre-senile dementia.&#8221; One of the symptoms is &#8220;a striking decline in his sentence-by-sentence speaking skills.&#8221; His letter was in response to James Fallows <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/doc\/prem\/200407\/fallows\">&#8220;When George Meets John&#8221;<\/a> article in the July\/August 2004.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informationclearinghouse.info\/video1019.htm\"> Bush Pre-senile Dementia video<\/a> intercuts footage from 10 years ago with recent footage. As the site that hosts the video says, you&#8217;ll see the difference is dramatic, disturbing and obvious.<br \/>\nYes, pre-senile dementia looks like penis dementia if read really fast. Sort of like how Scot Run, PA always looks like Scrotum, PA when you whiz by the I-80 highway sign going 75 mph. That doesn&#8217;t change the fact that it exists and tha our President probably suffers from it. Its nice to know that once Bush sounded smart but now he&#8217;s getting closer to Mohammed Ali land. I would much rather have an intelligent chap, even someone I disagree with, representing me than Dubya, King of the Malaprops.<\/p>\n<p>Via Neu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have not listened to a George Bush speech, even the State of the Union address, for a long time now for 2 reasons.
