Oh...my...GOD: Bush's own cabinet meetings are pre-scripted
'At Cabinet meetings, it was clear Bush had not read the memos O'Neill had sent him, which he kept intentionally brief. In a one-on-one discussion about Social Security, O'Neill said the President just "checked out."

'Cabinet discussions were usually pre-scripted with the outcome determined in advance. On one occasion when there was real discussion on tax policy, Bush quickly became "befuddled," according to O'Neill.

'"If the president didn't connect in the first minute or two, it was a lost cause," he said.'
