...jive. He's all about "I'm so worried about turning 50" and so forth. Tosses in "shit" here and there, for credibility, I suppose. And I was worried about bringing earplugs.

Last week The New Yorker printed his somewhat embarrassing Yale report card, which only added fuel to the fire of skepticism that George W. can confront the sticky politics that come along with the Oval Office. But if he can endure Americans mocking him and publicly doubting his intelligence, then maybe global affairs will be a cakewalk...
