A "senior White House official" (who?) accuses Barack Obama of being "intellectually lazy."
For some reason, I woke up this morning thinking about the fact that Dubya did not know, before he went into Iraq, that Islam has two major sects, Sunni and Sh'ite. Bush was 33 at the time of the 1979 Iranian revolution. At that time, every newspaper and news magazine in America did background pieces on the Ayatollah Khomeini, and all of those pieces carefully explained the meaning of the term "Shi'ite." Nobody in the U.S. could escape awareness of that word. Nobody except....
"Intellectually lazy." Oh man. That is rich.
