Not only did the Liberals claim that Bush was not smart enough for the job, but they have never let up pounding away at that theme. Today's New York Times had an article by Dinitia Smith, "A Lesson on Iraq from a Classicist," about a retired Princeton professor named Elaine Fantham, who apparently is a regular commentator on NPR (I wouldn't know). The piece reeks with contempt of Bush and his advisers, and concludes with this bit of wisdom from the English-born Fantham:

"Why the Founding Fathers were dumb enough to have a president, I don't know. It worked while they were highly educated people, but they are getting worse all the time."

I suppose she wishes she could reword that so as to exclude Clinton.
