(2003-11-10) Raymond Thinks Bush Is Cunning

Eric Raymond thinks George W Bush is just pretending to be a chucklehead to distract people. Over and over again we've seen the pattern. Bush says he's gaing to do something. Opponents rant and rave and scream about what an idiot he is. Amidst all the name-calling, an effective opposition fails to materialize. When the smoke clears, events unfold pretty much according to the Bush script. I think there is a problem with opposition, but I'm not convinced this is what it is. I think it's more a matter of the majority party following the letter of the Game Rule-s, and ignoring any contrary opinions.
