Kerry campaign advice: Bush 43 is 'disengaged' like his Daddy

[npincus]

Bush 43 is:

Disengaged from reality about Iraq: his words do not match reality on the ground...

Disengaged from reality about the threat posed by our ballooning defict...

Disengaged from impact on working families whose companies are turning to overseas labor force...

and so on, and so on...

I think this will be a very effective word because it encompasses Bush's approach to all issues and provides an explanation for his failure in each. Because he is disengaged he cannot be an effective or competent decision-maker. It also is a somewhat impersonal critique, which may be viewed as more credible than a personal one. 'Disengaged' also subtley hints at his limited intellectual abilities, and his reliance on others to synthesize information and feed it back to him. Finally, it recalls a major criticism of his Father's presidency- that he was disengaged from ordinary people's hardship in terrible economic times. Now, the son is sending our sons and daughters to the hell-pit Iraq and telling us we are "making progress". If one gives him the benefit of the doubt that he is not a mendacious scum, then he is sincere but fatally disengaged. Like father, like son.

Kerry needs some thread in his presentation to tie all his points together- I think this could be it.
