I agree, not Nabokov's ideal reader; maybe not his ideal leader, either,
but closer to it. Any man who sends a telegram to President Johnson in the
heat of the Vietnam War to tell him to keep up the good work likely
wouldn't fret over a Bush presidency.

For me, when looking at the Bush administration what comes to mind is most
likely not Nabokov's ideal reader. Or, come to think of it, any reader at
all. What comes to mind is this from Nabokov:

"Never forget that the secret weakness in the Devil's might is stupidity."
