If He Only Had a Brain



Here is a fascinating and surprisingly direct analysis from the Associated Press of Bush's not-so-subtle use of "straw men" in his limited public discourse. Read it and learn what to look for!

That looks like a cool comic, post more of those pages.

Oh, this was about Bush's debate fallacies.

Romney? As in Willard Mitt? That's a dangerous swamp indeed.

As per usual, the Shrub and his boyz joust with windmills to make their erroneous points regarding all issues of importance.I always scream at the TV when he goes into that mode.

Thanks for pointing it out.

That is a trippy comic book cover and the price? You can't buy squat for 12 cents anymore.

If people really listened to Bush from the get-go, they'd realize he is a stumbling, rambling ball of cliches and malopropisms.
He has never said anything ad lib that made a lick of sense.
Even his prepared speeches have been so poorly delivered, he's impossible to take seriously, much less believe.

This is so ripe for comedians. Whenever John Stewart fumbles through a half-hearted Bush impersonation - humbly deprecating his own performance - of course I think he's cute, but at the same time, I think, "Come on John, it's not that hard." The fallacies, including straw man, could be the keystone.
