Frontline: Bush's War (2008)

This is a totally awesome program, so complete in its indictment of the Bush administration, and the doctrine we should all now follow: that you should always vote for a President who is smarter than the stupidest of his cabinet, especially the vice-president and his secretary of defense.

And we should never again buy the argument that the President doesn't need to be smart, he just needs to pick some smart advisors. This is, on the off chance, that he is inclined to listen to the inevitable one or more seemingly smart, but really stupid ass advisors. Bottom line: a smart cabinet on a stupid President is lipstick on a pig.

A couple other observations: (1) wow, was that an incredible lineup of white guys running the Iraq show -- no wonder there was no diversity of opinion, and (2) people around this issue -- journalists even -- seem to have not so good teeth, not sure what the reason for that is, perhaps my hdtv, perhaps they did meth to compensate for the horrors of this debacle.

For some reason, I really like the Frontline narrator's voice despite its somewhat nasal quality.
