If the following statment by Frum is correct, then she is, in addition to being spectacularly underqualified, a little nutty: "She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met."
He is the PResident's speech writer and he discusses his work with his wife?
He's qualified to judge the President?
Or perhaps you don't know the President. I don't know the context of this statement, but I've heard Frum himself attest to Dubya's exceptional intelligence in specialized fields (Energy and Politics). Could it be possible that that a former rounder with an MBA from Havard, who has a penchant for selecting Ace assistants is actually a really smart guy?
