Sen. Corker Claims He is 'Very Underwhelmed' by Bush's Intellect


Think Progress reports that Tennessee's junior Republican Senator Bob Corker says he is "very underwhelmed" by the "depth" and "complexity" of the discussions with Bush on the Iraq War:

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) “raised some eyebrows” with his recent remarks about President Bush’s knowledge about Iraq. His comments “about his experiences with the White House during meetings on the war in Iraq” left some conservatives in the crowd “befuddled.” Chattanooga’s NewsChannel 9 reports:

“I was in the White House a number of times to talk about the issue, and I may rankle some in the room saying this, but I was very underwhelmed with what discussions took place at the White House. . . Let me say this. George Bush is a very compassionate person. He’s a very good person. And a lot of people don’t see that in him, and there’s many people in this room who might disagree with that…. I just felt a little bit underwhelmed by our discussions, the complexity of them, the depth of them.”

Gee, welcome to the club, Senator Corker. Is this your way of saying you will soon be switching parties?
