"Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand."
Gatsby, and All the President's Men.
And it's worth reading @BeardRichard's brilliant book Sad Little Men, which goes a long way to explain how men like the Prime Minister develop their behaviours, in the public schools of England.
