The Sound of the Crowd

Clever editorial by one Pete Kotz that underlines for me one of the key things about understanding the Bush mindset and that of his circle: They take macho seriously. All the stuff that those of us who are comfortable discussing our feelings (maybe a little too comfortable, but that’s another entry) look at with at least an amused eye. They think it’s real, and what’s more, they think they’re the embodiment of it. But of course, they’re not.
