In which a very interesting question is asked: Why aren't more people talking about George's mental aptitude for the biggest job in the world?

Pocono Summit, PA. It was here, in the parking lot of Cramer's building supply, only 15 miles from a Nascar racetrack, in a pivotal battleground state, on the back of a battered work van, that we saw the first one. "Somewhere in Texas," the bumper sticker said, "a village is missing its idiot." The next Bush-is-thick sticker showed up at Home Depot on the back of an equally battered pick-up driven by a tough-looking kid dressed for construction work. It said:

BUSH

LIKE A ROCK

ONLY DUMBER

These are signs of the fierce conviction of some voters - and the secret fear of a quieter and perhaps larger group - that George Bush is not smart enough to continue as president. Indeed, if an unscientific survey of bumper stickers, graffiti and letters to the editor in this conservative mountain region of eastern Pennsylvania is an indicator, doubts are spreading, and probably not in a way helpful to the Republicans.

Yet the subject is seldom taken head on by the mainstream newspapers and network news.

1. KKKarl Rove was on Fox News at 6:25PM and says that shrub....

He was making very little sense in the 22 seconds that I did pause the remote before tuning in CBS News. But I thought I heard Rove take credit for being Dubya's brain, although KKKarl also qualified that by saying that some people don't think George has a brain, so for those people KKKarl is perfectly willing to lend George his brain...<click>
