Apologies to any of my readers here for crossposting from my blog, but I thought it bore repeating:

Try, if you can, to remember those distant days of yore, way, way back to the nethertime of October 2000. An eternity in political years, I know. But those amongst you with a brain cell or two to spare may perhaps recall Governor Bush’s campaign’s response to his rather vacuous demeanor and lack of verbal acuity – “he may be dumb as a brick but that’s ok, we’ll put some smart folks around him to make all the decisions.”

Of course, I may be paraphrasing a bit, but the question remains: with so many of those learned ladies and gentlement around him, why the hell is this guy ever allowed off script?!
