Qualifications

Mike Wallace has never been able to interview President Bush, but if he did finally get a chance, he would ask him this brilliant question:

What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn’t want to travel. You knew very little about the military… . The governor of Texas doesn’t have the kind of power that some governors have… . Why do you think they nominated you?

My favorite part is something I always said about Bush: the governor of Texas has very little authority or power. In Texas we give most of the executive authority to the Lt. Governor, so there goes Bush’s one piece of work experience.
