Also, I have had about enough of the “Bush is dumb” song.
I think there's all kinds of smarts. Intelligence, street smarts, book smarts, common sense, wisdom etc. Bush is very smart in some ways and extraordinarily stupid in others.
For example he's probably posseses the most stellar managerial skills I've ever seen in my life, yet the leader of the free world can't manage to pronounce "nuclear".
He's adept at accomplishing a goal and getting a job done, yet seems to have no political philosophy whatsoever and comes off as if an intellectual thought never once touched his gray matter.
