Daily Kos has up an incredible video clip of an address from President Bush. Unlike the folks at Kos, I’m actually not all that concerned about the cause of his inarticulateness and suspect that it’s simply that Bush is in over his head.
But wow, you can’t get more Face in the Crowd than this. Only instead of sinister Machiavellian Andy Griffith showing the countrified act as fake, we get a man who desperately grasps for his own folksy routine because making jokes about air-conditioners in Texas is something he’s comfortable with in the face of the historical reality he’s thrust into. The fake is all the more shocking for being the real.
Who’s the Patricia Neal who leaked this anyhow?
