1. Galbraith is, quite simply, a liar.
2. Analysts who briefed GWB were routinely impressed by his interest in subjects covered and his enthusiasm to understand more. It was, in fact, GWB himself who requested the lengthy in-depth briefings that came to be known as "deep dives."

If a man lies about one thing, he's automatically a liar about other things? If that's the case, we'd be very hard put to find anyone - inside or outside of politics - who can be trusted. Again, how many on the Right lied about Iran-Contra - does that mean that they're automatically liars about anything else they say?
And I have no problem with GWB being referred to as a highly intelligent man - he certainly was. No argument there. But a person can be highly intelligent and simultaneously highly incurious about the world around him...and it sure seems that Bush was indeed incurious about the world around him.
