I wonder if Bush has ever heard of H.L. Mencken

Because if he has this opinion piece that claims, accurately as far as I am concerned, that Captain Codpiece has finally Mencken's presidential prophecy is going to hurt. For those of you who have forgotten, or who are too lazy to click the link, the actual quote is this:

"...all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." (Emphasis mine.)

And it took less than a century to come true!
