This comes from Media Matters...it was too good to pass over...Fred Leonhardt of Portland, Oregon wrote to MM referencing a "Bushism of the Day" from Slate magazine. When Bush was asked what advice he would give to the next president, he said:
"Take the Middle East seriously because that's the center of -- that's the place where people get so despondent and despair that they're willing to come and takes lives of U.S. citizens." -- Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008
Mr. Leonhardt asks us to imagine "the MSM [Main Stream Media] reaction if Barack Obama had said the 9-11 hijackers had been motivated by despondency and despair."
My question: Why does Bush get a free pass from the MSM on this incredibly stupid remark?

He is not too smart and everyone knows it. His remark is dumb. He was probably caught without notes so he had to use his own head. That does not work too well for him. The Saudis that attacked us on 911 were all from the educated elite of Saudi Arabia which has never been threatened by Israel or the USA. Despondency should lead to improving one’s lot in life, rather than going forth to kill others.
