George W. Bush on why it's a big drag to learn anything new
"I know her [Harriet Miers] well enough to be able to say that she's not going to change; that 20 years from now she'll be the same person, with the same philosophy that she is today. She'll have more experience, she'll have been a judge, but nevertheless, her philosophy won't change."
"I'm interested in finding somebody who shares my philosophy today and will have that same philosophy 20 years from now."
These are very telling statements, made in the off-the-cuff, hesitant, odd brain synapsis style of a man who struggles so hard to reach a conclusion that he can't suffer the process of going through it all over again. Ever notice the almost tourette-like noises he makes before he says something that isn't scripted? Just as we can now recognize the early symptoms of Alzheimer's in Ronald Reagan during his second term, we may look back & conclude that substance abuse really did freeze dry George W. Bush's brain.
