George Lakoff reminds us Bu$hCo isn't "Stupid"

UC-Berkeley liguistics professor George Lakoff's Rockridge Institute has been a Highlander favorite for some time. Alternet gave him space for "George Bush is not incompetent" that reminds us of how the Conservative movement has been grooving right along under this administration. To have accomplished so much for the GOP we can hardly label them as "incompetent".

That the President is seemingly so "stupid", and I'll admit I have an incredibly low opinion of Dubyah's intellect, ought not to distract us from what he/they have accomplished. We Lefty Progressives need to focus on attacking the flaws, and there are plenty, of Conservatism instead of simply bashing Bu$hCo.

This is especially true as we move toward 2008. The right has already started shedding Bu$h but after this fall's midterms you can expect the blame game to begin in full force. Faulting Bu$hCo management rather than the GOP's foundational beliefs may very well allow them to remain in power.

Several of Dr. Lakoff's books appear on my Amazon Wish List. Noam Chomsky influenced, this is one serious citizen with much to offer our world. Peace ... or War!
