One prerequisite for a minimally acceptable leader is one who actually reads his own memos.

Memo: U.S. Lacked Full Postwar Iraq Plan
Bush said he had read "characterizations of the memo,
The memo was only 13 pages. He could only read an executive summary? Ahh. But the memo that warned of upcoming 11 September attacks was about two pages. George Jr could not read that PDB either. Sec of Treasury Paul O'Neill literally had to take George Jr through his memos, step by step, for two hours, because George Jr did not read. Where does inability to do reading (or not even knowing the countries on Israel’s borders) qualify one as a leader? I forgot. Cheney makes the presidential decisions. George Jr need not read. Being a front man is sufficient to be a leader.
