"Critics noted that his message seemed muddied and his arguments contradictory or confusing."

I have a feeling that his critics have been "noting" that since he was in elementary school. That doesn't have anything to do with Rove's message. If Rove's message was immigration restriction, it too would have been muddied after Bush got through with it.

Trivial, yes, but for some reason that sentence irked me. Rove may be the devil himself, and every single one of his messages may suck, but he really isn't responsible for his client always sounding confused and "muddy". It's either a bad genetic break or a consequence of past drug abuse.

Bush, who when given a moment to collect his thoughts could be a persuasive speaker,

Wow, talk about damning with faint praise.

It's either a bad genetic break or a consequence of past drug abuse.

I'm voting for drug use because I saw a Youtube debate between Anne Richards and GWB where Bush actually sounded pretty sharp and on his game. After I watched most of it, tt was clear that Bush's verbal skills had dropped off considerably by the time he become POTUS.

I think GWB's natural political instincts were better than those of some of the people that surrounded him like Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. Karl Rove knew his stuff when it came to maximizing voter turnout, but some of his initiatives for the Republican party were dubious. Dick Cheney, OTOH, was pretty much just useless, in retrospect.

Twenty years worth of sozzled synapses and nuked neurons will do that to you.

More today from Byron York:

Questions about Bush's conservative principles
By: Byron York

"What is this movement you keep talking about in the speech?" the president asked Latimer.

Latimer explained that he meant the conservative movement -- the movement that gave rise to groups like CPAC.

Bush seemed perplexed. Latimer elaborated a bit more. Then Bush leaned forward, with a point to make.

"Let me tell you something," the president said. "I whupped Gary Bauer's ass in 2000. So take out all this movement stuff. There is no movement"...

"Look, I know this probably sounds arrogant to say," the president said, "but I redefined the Republican Party."
