I just had a sudden epiphany.
When people talk about
Karl Rove being Bush's brain. They don't mean Karl Rove is Bush's
brain, they mean Karl Rove is Bush's
Brain. Which of course makes Dubya the one with the red nose who says 'Narf!' a lot.
I mean the two dynamic duo's even look similar to each other. How did I ever miss that?
Instantly, much that was mysterious to me about y'all in the USA's political discourse, including the whole 'guy you'd want to have a beer with' thing, becomes much much clearer.
I hereby apologise for my years of obtuseness.
