Vanity
"Bush has one of the emptiest faces in America. He looks to have no more depth than spit on a rock. It could be that the most incisive personal crime committed by George Bush is that he probably never said to himself, “I don’t deserve to be president.” You just can’t trust a man who’s never been embarrassed by himself. The vanity of George W. stands out with every smirk. He literally cannot control that vanity. It seeps out of every movement of his lips, it squeezes through every tight-lipped grimace. Every grin is a study in smugsmanship."—Norman Mailer

Until reading Why Are We at War?, I'd paid attention to Mailer. I'd heard his name, but that was all.
What ascerbic wit, weapons of words. He's a bit strange to read at length (a subjective opinion based on some of his supernatural leanings and not meant as a slam) but he can make words do whatever he wants.
