Seeing One Way on Complex Issues

Good one on Bush:

Judgment Day – Yes on Schwarzenegger. No on Bush. By William Saletan

I’m no huge fan of John Kerry. He sees two sides of every one-sided issue, and four sides of every two-sided issue. But the alternative is a president who sees one side of every issue, no matter how many sides it has. Given how many sides there usually are, and given how little effort Bush makes to learn about each issue, the odds are that, on average, he’ll pick the wrong side. The record of the last four years shows that he has done precisely that.
