You say that like you think it's a bad thing.
Swagger always beats sagacity.

Sagacity. from sagax (of quick perception)

I rest my case. Texans are fools.

I'd much rather have a politician that says "You **** with me
and you're ****ing with the whole damn trailer park" than ...

You'd rather have a politician that says:

"Fool me once, ..................shame on .....................
........ shame on you. .......................................
........................ Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

The neocons surrounding Bush were constantly pulling the wool over his
eyes. He was constantly being fooled and manipulated by others.

Bush's comment about Putin's soul after a meeting in June 2001 is also
classic:

"I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward
and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a
sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the
best interests of his country." He then added, "I wouldn't have
invited him to my ranch if I didn't trust him."

Yea, his Texan gut-instincts were spot-on target, weren't they?

It appeared that every time Putin did something the West
didn't like, the press reminded its readers of Bush
"looking into his soul."

I agree Bush got fooled by Putin. Bush made a mistake there. But everybody
makes mistakes!

Heck, if God had consulted me before designing the gall bladder, I could
have prevent THAT mistake. We don't criticize God for one little slip-up.
