BOR is a moron. Everyone except the obots and sycophants saw through Obastard before he even officially received the nomination.
He is a blowhard and I disagree with him on a lot of things, and always assumed he was one of these barely competent people who has nice hair that likes to be on TV. But I read not too long ago that he got a 1580 on his SAT (out of 1600), so I have to believe that he is pretty damn smart. In the same article, it said that Rush got 1550, which is easier to believe, but which is the opposite of the liberal caricature of him.
