The "good-enough brain" part is actually understatement. People with President Bush's academic and other accomplishments (dullards don't graduate from Harvard's Business School, can't learn to fly a fighter jet and don't have a net worth of some $16 million earned by themselves) have very high IQ's.

Just some food for thought - Which 20th century presidents had/have the highest IQs?

Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon.

Not meaning to slight the intelligent here, but the author says Bush is intelligent enough, and it clearly bears out in the analysis.

"Which 20th century presidents had/have the highest IQs?"

"Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon."

You missed one. Jimmuh Cahtah was right up there in the brains department (in fact, Walter Crankcase said that ole Jimmuh was the smartest president he had ever seen, being able to digest and retain huge masses of detail). Of course, Jimmuh was an incompetent president....which just goes to show that leadership ability doesn't necessarily accrue to the smartest lad on the block.

Having a high IQ doesn't mean diddly squat without the common sense to drive it. My cousin's IQ is off the charts... but he works at Pizza Hut (40 yrs old). He was one semester away from a Master's in Physics before dropping out of the "establishment". Now......most people I know would call that STUPID. *chuckle*
