Re: My political career

    I don't mind it too much when people dismiss Dubya
    as comically stupid. The names & statues can be seen
    everywhere of men who, in their day, were similarly
    dismissed as mere embarrassments. (One of them currently
    sitting plonked in the Lincoln Memorial & another leaning
    on his cane in Parliament Square.)

    What gets me is the serene assumption that such a judgment
    somehow identifies the individual making it as his intellectual
    superior.

    On this side of the Atlantic - & evidently among your own
    right-thinkers - the view is almost universal. Yet doesn't
    that very universality make for a certain unease? Most
    of the people are wrong, after all, most of the time.
    If I were to observe a vast field packed with sheep,
    all bleating the same smug message, I think I'd pause
    before raising my own little furry snout to swell their chorus.
