Ex-Aides: Bush Never Recovered From Katrina

Ex-Aides: Bush Never Recovered From Katrina: "'It allowed everybody to believe that this Sarah Palin-like president _ because, let's face it, that's what he was _ was going to be protected by this national-security elite, tested in the cauldrons of fire,' Wilkerson said, adding that he considered Cheney probably the 'most astute, bureaucratic entrepreneur' he'd ever met.
'He became vice president well before George Bush picked him,' Wilkerson said of Cheney. 'And he began to manipulate things from that point on, knowing that he was going to be able to convince this guy to pick him, knowing that he was then going to be able to wade into the vacuums that existed around George Bush _ personality vacuum, character vacuum, details vacuum, experience vacuum.'"

It would appear that is exactly what is in the space normally occupied by a brain in Presidents Bush's cranium... a vacuum.
