Always reminds me of Pres. GW saying he "doesn't do nuance".

Quote:Dangerous confusion threatened the Republicans on the second day of their convention. In an interview on the NBC Today Show, President Bush was deferentially asked about the war on terrorism. "I don't think you can win it," he replied. For hours afterwards, his campaign issued bulletins to say he hadn't meant it.
Finally, appearing before the American Legion veterans in Nashville, Bush declared: "We will win."
Vice-President Dick Cheney helpfully explained: "The president certainly never intended to convey the notion that we can't win."
By breaking his own iron law - "I don't do nuance" - Bush had blurred himself into the negative image of John Kerry as a flip-flopper.
Nuance leads to ambivalence, which can lead to inaction; and who then can be an action hero?

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
