Uh . . . ? ? ?

I'm completely baffled by this paragraph in this morning's unsigned Bush-worship from the Amarillo Globe-News editorial page:

Yes, the deficit is too great. Yes, the president and Congress need to do more to bring it under control. Who, then, is best suited to do that, given the profligate spending that has taken place in Congress during the past many decades? President Bush, with his pledge to reduce Americans' tax burden, is equipped better than his challenger. Bush drove home the point time and again Wednesday that he will fight to allow Americans to keep more of their money. One can hope he meets with better success in a second term than he met in the first. At least with Bush, voters have assurances that the president will keep the spending and taxing target in his sights.


I realize it's a tall order to continue to support this president. I realize that it's dang near impossible to weave Bush's nonsensical pronouncements into a coherant defense. But this senile random babbling? What can it mean?

Perhaps all those monkeys at all those typewriters weren't writing Hamlet, after all. Perhaps they were typing AGN editorials.
