Bush is not the brightest of the bunch, but he's got a damn fine military to support him and at least he doesn't hold it back.

And what do you base that comment on? He may not be the slickest public speaker, but I believe he is far more intelligent than you give him credit for. Do you think morons graduate from Harvard Business School and successfully learn to fly fighter jets?

Well, I didn't mean to offend anyone, that's just my honest impression from all of Bush's off the cuff speaking: he makes up words, for example. He does not present himself as "some really bright person" from what I've seen (and in that family going to Harvard or wherever he wanted to was inevitable almost regardless of any academic abilities).

My impression of Bush's good qualties are: (1) he has good intentions, (2) he has good instinct and good judgment (not what I think of as "bright" but more important), and (3) he has a good team.

Clinton, by contrast, was "bright" in the sense of the ability to toss together sound bytes without making up words. Of course, as his soul was pure evil that was a curse upon this country rather than a blessing.

But how did Bush almost lose to Gore? Whether Bush is bright or not, I don't think he comes off that way to the American people.

I'm really saying that "brightness" is superficial, and go ahead and whine about it but also from what I've seen of Bush he doesn't appear that bright.... could be all apearance, though, I readily admit.

Do you think morons graduate from Harvard Business School

YES!!

Sorry, I've gotten into more than my share of fights with Harvard B-school grads over the years. No offense to the President, but most I've known have been some awful putzes.
