What I want for Christmas:

A president who can correctly use 'gravitas' in a sentence. *sigh*

What do you think of President Bush’s using war imagery as a political tool, like when he recently flew onto an aircraft carrier?

Gen. Clark: The world expects something more of an American president than to prance around on a flight deck dressed up like [a] pilot. He’s expected to be a leader. That’s my fundamental issue with it. It doesn’t reflect the gravitas of the office. Furthermore, it’s a little phony.

Ooh, he also says he likes the "battle of ideas" that accompany political life. Can you imagine?
