Sadly, not wiser

America's Feckless Leader (yes, he really is without feck) is turning 60 today, and according to an article in The New York Times, Bush may be fretting about his age a bit:
Here is the president in June at a community college in Omaha, trying to convince himself that turning 60 is no big deal: "I'm not supposed to talk about myself, but in a month I'm turning 60. For you youngsters, I want to tell you something. When I was your age, I thought 60 was really old. It's all in your mind. It's not that old, it really isn't."

He may be worried about turning older, while the rest of us are worried about his not turning wiser.
