15. What I'd like to know
Is how Mr. Bush can so confidently proclaim that he not only knows how Miss Mier thinks today, but how she will think 20 years from now. As Mr. Spock so perspicaciously pointed out in an episode of "Star Trek," "No person can guarantee the actions of another."

I'd like to see a Senator ask Miss Mier how it is that Mr. Bush can say that with such assurance. I mean, I don't know what my cat is going to do two minutes from now, and Mr. Bush is saying that he knows what Miss Mier will be thinking and presumably doing 20 years from now. How does Miss Mier feel about that? Is she that predictable, or does she have that much knowledge about everything in the world that no happenstance, no new fact, could ever change her mind about anything? Or is Mr. Bush so omniscient that he knows in detail every event of the next 20 years and what Miss Mier's reaction to each of those events will be?

Seems a tad presumptuous to me . . .
