Is George W. Bush a Moron or a Poet? Wednesday this week: the big W comments on his status as a poet while Chretien's press secretary uses the word moron. Who's right? I'm not a fan of the big W's folksy self-deprecating mask. It makes me nervous. In an excerpt below from the text of joint statements made Wednesday at NATO meetings in Prague by the big W and Vaclav Havel, former jailed playwrite and current President of the Czech Republic, the big W is initially addressing Havel, then he begins to take questions from reporters. [Beginning of excerpt.] "PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. President, thank you for having us. This is an historic meeting, an historic city, an historic country led by an historic figure. "I'll answer some questions. "Q: I have one question for President Bush, and a second question for President Havel. "President Bush, you have said some lofty words here. The Czech Republic -- "PRESIDENT BUSH: I said some what? "Q: Lofty words. (Laughter.) "PRESIDENT BUSH: No one has ever accused me of being a poet before, but thank you. (Laughter.)" [End of excerpt.] Also on Wednesday in Prague, Chretien's press secretary, Françoise Ducros, was overheard by reporters calling W a moron in a seemingly private conversation with another reporter. Today, Chretien refused to accept Ducros' resignation. Good for him. The question that remains is this: is the big W and poet or moron or (terrifyingly) neither? Stephen Buckley
