Unprepared is one thing, but ignorance is no excuse.

  Is there really a diffference between unprepared and ignorant?
  From Josh Billings (I think): "It's not what a man don't know that makes him ignorant. It's what he knows that ain't so."
  IMHO, Mr. Bush is an intellectual featherweight who's worked very hard to get and stay that way. I see McCain in a little different light, as one who might be able and willing to learn. Not perhaps the be-all and end-all, but suitable. Certainly don't see him as a warmonger. Tend to think that his personal experince would make him less so than average. Among the Dems, only Hillary can make a halfway palusible claim to any foreign policy background. So as usually is the case we'll end up with a Pres who has to learn on the job. The best we can hope for is intellectual flexibility.
