Dumber than Bush, Crazier than Cheney?

Digby made the following comment on her blog this morning:

"I'm finding myself more and more obsessed with the Giuliani campaign because it really appears to me that the Republicans may just nominate someone dumber than Bush and crazier than Cheney. And without the morals of either of them. How is that even possible?"

I'm not sure you can find anyone dumber than Bush, at least in such a high position. I think what makes Guiliani so dangerous is that he's smarter than Bush and crazier than Cheney. He has an arrogance and certainty about him that doesn't have Bush's lack of self-confidence. Bush tries too hard to appear macho and confident. I still don't know why so many people can't see through this empty man, but some see strength in his phony gestures, sickening smirks, squinty eyes and downturned smile at all the wrong places.

Guiliani is an example of the superficiality and lack of critical thinking of the American public. His only claim to fame is 9/11 which he plays up at every opportunity. But, what did he do that day? He was walking around talking to the media because he didn't have any place to go. He had made a decision, against the recommendations of his advisors, to put the Emergency Response Center on the 26th floor of the World Trade Center. It's no coincidence that the owner of the building, and the beneficiary of the multi-million dollar lease is one of his major campaign contributors.

When will this country value competence over phony, empty style?
