Quite true - remember, Nabokov's politics were probably best summed up
"What's bad for the Bolsheviks is good." And of course the many "Pat
Pink" types that show up in his memoirs or novels further shows VN
didn't split hairs on anything ostensibly aimed at stopping communism.

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."

When in doubt, google.
