The most obvious expression of Bush's choice of ignorance is that, at the age of 57, he knows nothing about policy or history....A second, more damning aspect of Bush's mind-set is that he doesn't want to know anything in detail, however important....Closely related to this aggressive ignorance is a third feature of Bush's mentality: laziness....A fourth and final quality of Bush's mind is that it does not think. The president can't tolerate debate about issues. Offered an option, he makes up his mind quickly and never reconsiders.
And that's supposed to be the mightiest man on the planet ... He's proud to be an ignorant.
