I agree with your premise. The democrats have successfully labeled the Republican party as ‘anti-intellectual’ (e.g. Day Quayle is stupid, Reagan was stupid, Bush is stupid, etc., etc.). This has to be addressed. The best way to address this is by arguing publicly with hard facts, and to do it eloquently and with confidence, just like Bibi did. Every interview, and I mean just about EVERY interview, should be thought of as a battle in a war, and approached exactly that way. The goal when talking to the liberal media should always and foremost be to embarrass them into silence, and it should be done respectfully and with a smile. Palin’s handlers didn't understand until too late that they were in a war with the media. By the time they started fighting back it was too late. The hopefully short-term damage to her image had already been done.
I KNOW I’m going to sound “stupid” for saying this...
I made it a point to watch “W” being interviewed a number of times, and he never came across as “stupid” to me. He also knew how to shut an interviewer up when it was appropriate to do so.
I’ve always admired Netanyahu. I never realized how incredibly smart he is until now.
There are several interviews posted on ‘You Tube’ and he is impressive to say the least.
I’d LOVE to see him go head to head with the Hollywood bleeding heart brigade.
