When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I see where Neil Bush is dyslexic (Moss Foundation bio) .
If that's true of his older brother as well, it would explain a lot. I wonder if dyslexia affects ability to make moral judgments and discern the truth as well as ability with words? This family seems kind of short on these abilities.
As someone who is sympathetic to the problems and needs of those with disabilities, I don't hold it against them. But I wonder if it fits them for public office.

Neil’s desire to develop products that help educators teach standards-based material in ways that children learn best evolved out of his own experiences both as a dyslectic (sic) student and as a concerned parent of three children.
