If we use these definitions:

• Wisdom  accumulated philosophic or scientific learning;  ability to discern inner qualities and relationships
• Intelligence:  the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations; the skilled use of reason; the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests)
• Smart:  mentally alert;  BRIGHT; SHREWD ;  WITTY  CLEVER 

then Rush is not wise, not intelligent, but he's real smart.  If you use other definitions, he can be anything you want him to be.  Rush is not intelligent enough to know, for example, that Germany declared war on the US during WWII before the US went to war with the Nazis, but he was smart enough to say it to millions in a way that nobody but me noticed.  He scorns education.  He boasts about fighting with teachers and vandalizing schools. 

But don't get me wrong, intelligence is highly over rated.  I'm not all that intelligent, but I've done all right because of sheer force of will.  I'll hire a slow person with determination over a lazy intelligent one any day of the week.

Just seems like a semantical game to me to distinguish between them. At least I know the Tet offensive was a victory for the U.S. Many people with alleged intelligence do not.
