David Frum, WH Speech Writer: Bush ‘Just Did Not Absorb Ideas’


Bush has concrete for brains.

I don't know why it is a shock to this man that he cannot absorb ideas.

Pensito Review » David Frum, WH Speech Writer: Bush ‘Just Did Not Absorb Ideas’:

I always believed as a speechwriter that if you could persuade the
president to commit himself to certain words, he would feel himself committed to
the ideas that underlay those words. And the big shock to me has been that
although the president said the words, he just did not absorb the ideas. And
that is the root of, maybe, everything.
