Leonardo Who?

According to this article in the New York Daily News, our president is culturally challenged. In fact, if you can believe this, he doesn't even know who Leo DiCaprio is.

Horror of horrors!!

How did we come to such a state, to have our country led by someone so out of touch, so...uncool? Even wooden Al Gore must have known that.

Bill Clinton might have subverted justice, rented the Lincoln Bedroom, sold pardons and foreign missions and nuclear secrets, and bought votes, and ignored terrorism, but, by God, at least he was hip!

If only we'd known this back in November 2000...

I wish I didn't know who Leo Dicaprio was.

The same article however says that he is very familer with Austin Powers and does a pretty good imitation of Dr. Evil.

Hence I don't think our glorious President is culturally challenged at all.

I think this Di Caprio guy is some fellah who goes out with superdupermodel Giselle Bundchen.

Even better, the NYT writer emphasized that W. didn't know DiCaprio nor STONE PHILLIPS, of NBC Dateline fame.

I'm still trying to figure out why that's supposed to be a negative attribute.
