Why is Bush stupid?

Out of curiosity why is Bush stupid? That seems to be a familiar rhetoric, but it is seldom backed up beyond the "Bushisms" that are so prevalent. If you judge a person by speech, than stephen hawking is a moron. I'd just like to see justification behind this statement.

So you are calling Stephen Hawking a moron because of a vocal disability!?! Ooooookkk!

Stephen Hawking doesn't make up words.

bush is a very stupid man .he cant read well,speak well,or talk well.
whan ever he speaks in public this all becomes apparent.his speech writers have continually had to make his speeches easier for him as to not have so many gaffs.if you notice in the early bush presidency he was always messing up,thats because the writers were writing for a normal or above normal person,because that is
what a president usually is.bush couldnt read well enough to not make any mistakes.the guy is funny though,unfortunate for us he is doing so much damage.
another funny thing about the guy is when he is asked a question off the cuff,he doesnt know anything so he alway makes some dumb joke or refers to someone in his administration that knows or could help.
i dont think he knows much about a lot of things and his head is as empty as the puppet most people think he is.

ASHLEY - if you don't mind me asking....how old are you?

:bnghd: Perhaps, we got the idea Bush is stupid from the horse's mouth.

"There is a group of people who feel that '[the President of the United States should] be smarter than I am on just about every issue I can think of.' But there is also a large group of people who don't feel that way. They want the President, in this modern era, to be something they can relate to. Someone who they don't think is intellectually intimidating. Someone who isn't really lost in the big fog of intellectual ideas and the world of words."

:bnghd: Or his drinking:

"I don't think I was clinically an alcoholic; I didn't have the genuine addiction. I don't know why I drank. I liked to drink, I guess."

:bnghd: Or his DENIAL about his drinking:

"The signal we ought to send to our children is that in spite of what happened in the '60s and '70s, we have learned some lessons. And the lessons ought to be: don't be using drugs and alcohol."

:bnghd: Or his abject FAILURE at rolemodeling:

"I wouldn't tell your kids that you smoked pot unless you want 'em to smoke pot. I think it's important for leaders, and parents, not to send mixed signals. I don't want some kid saying, 'Well, Governor Bush tried it.'"

See Jenna? See Jenna drink? Drink Jenna drink.

:bnghd: Or maybe it's his MANY, MANY failed and shady business dealings. Here George defends himself to the SEC:

"In the corporate world, sometimes things aren't exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures."

:bnghd: Now we KNOW why he gots those C's in accounting!!!

:bnghd: Or maybe it's Bush's admission (at the time) why he chose a fluff job in baseball over following in his dad's footsteps:

"You know, I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office."

:bnghd: Or maybe it's his MANY blunders with the press ONCE elected:

GOVERNOR BUSH: The new Pakistani General, he's just been elected -- not elected, this guy took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country and I think that's good news for the subcontinent.
JOURNALIST: And you can name him?
GOVERNOR BUSH: General... I can name the general.
JOURNALIST: And it's...?
GOVERNOR BUSH: "General."
JOURNALIST: And the Prime Minister of India?
GOVERNOR BUSH: The new Prime Minister of India is... [pause] No.
[Anger rises]
GOVERNOR BUSH: Can you name the Foreign Minister of Mexico?
JOURNALIST: No sir, but I would say to that: I'm not running for President.

:bnghd: Want some more?

11 Jan 2000 George W Bush, making an indisputable statement of fact: "Rarely is the question asked: 'Is our children learning?'"

31 May 2000 An introspective George W Bush: "When I'm talking about -- when I'm talking about myself, and when he's talking about myself, all of us are talking about me."

Aug 2000 George W Bush: "I don't know whether I'm going to win or not. I think I am. I do know I'm ready for the job. And, if not, that's just the way it goes."

4 Sep 2000 During a campaign stop in Naperville, Illinois, Presidential candidate George W Bush turns to running mate Dick Cheney and says, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times." Cheney responds, "Oh yeah, he is, big-time." Unbeknownst to the men, their comments are transmitted clearly to the television news feed.

29 Sep 2000 George W Bush: "I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully."

3 Oct 2000 George W Bush: "There's a huge trust. I see it all the time when people come up to me and say, 'I don't want you to let me down again.'"

4 Oct 2000 George W Bush: "I think if you know what you believe, it makes it a lot easier to answer questions. I can't answer your question."

18 Oct 2000 George W Bush: "Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."

18 Dec 2000 George W Bush, still waiting on the Florida recount: "If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier... just so long as I'm the dictator."

13 Jan 2002 While watching a football game on TV, President George W Bush chokes on a pretzel and briefly loses consciousness in his White House bedroom.
[My CAT doesn't choke on PRETZELS!!!! - FEEB!]

19 May 2002 "Do you have blacks too?" Question posed by Bush to Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso. Der Spiegel, also quoted in The New Republic on June 10.

17 Sep 2002 George W Bush: "There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

7 Oct 2002 "We need an energy bill that encourages consumption." The New Republic

:bnghd::bnghd::bnghd:

Bush is stupid because of America's rampant anti-intellectualism. We (and by 'we' I mean most people in Bush's key states - the big red center) distrust people that seem too educated or too far removed from the "common folk". A good ole' boy from down on the farm is usually going to have more appeal than some Ivy league elitist. Therefore, Bush's stupidity (which is only partially an act) is designed to give him an unpolished, common-man appeal. This is also why he tries to frame himself as a Texan, rather than a graduate of Harvard.

In short, Bush wants to be seen as stupid, so you can't blame people when they notice.

Here's a few examples:

Yeah, they hand out doctorites to stupid people.

How many detractors here are grads of Havard? Yale?

OK, raise your hand if you've attained the highest office of the most powerful country in the world?

OK, now how many of you are grads of both colleges and have held the Oval Office?

Alrighty then, all those who answer "no" may now sit down and shut the pie-hole.

How many of us are fathered by an ex-head of the CIA?

Why, does that give him extra Intel points? Bush '41 was no idiot, either.

"Arbolist...Look up the word. I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, someone who knows about trees."

I can't stop laughing. He's not good off the cuff--we all know this. All it takes is one question and he kinda leans to the side and stutters his way through...now he cracks a joke or two. He's getting a little better...but he's a dummy no doubt, you can't defend him, TC...you just can't.

His father bought and swindled Dubya's way in to school where he got a C average. Low enough to merit expulsion if you don't have an "in".
