Headmaster Dubya, following a long weekend of devastating abuse allegations against the American military, even started the week by proclaiming that Secretary of Offense Donald Rumseld was doing "a superb job."

But as Dubya himself might ask, "Is our children learning?"

No one can teach Bush anything - even his own father.
