I've Such a High Regard for the people here. Please reassure me you don't actually
believe that George W. Bush is intelligent, secretly nefarious, brilliant, devious or somehow superior to our estimation of him.

Please assure me this is not true,and that you are decent, intelligent folks who will never, ever fall for the "talking point" that Bush is some kind of evil, devious genius, and we are just too damned stupid to perceive this.

This is horseshit, and we need to eradicate this talking point immediately, because it makes us look stupid, and we are not stupid.

We KNOW what has happened to us, and who did it, and why.

1. I don't believe it....
Not even Daniel Day Lewis could act as stupid, shallow, callow, and hollow as our current reetard in chief and successfully pull it off for the better part of eight years.....as an acting job...

Nope, Bush is the real deal ignoramus.

:puke:

7. Hate to disagree
But Daniel Day Lewis? I believe he could do it. He is a great actor, so good in fact that in "Gangs of New York", I hardly noticed Leonardo D.
DDL is the real thing.

2. there's a lot of credibility in the thinking that
W is just a figurehead ... and the people around him are the ones who really are the masterminds of the downfall brought about "in his name" ...

W kinda in the aspect of Zaphod Beeblebrox ... but at least ZB had some redeeming qualities ...

3. Chimpy is a knuckle dragging drooling shit who's failed everything he
ever attempted (except getting away with fleecing the American people over Arbusto and going AWOL. Poopy helped him there.)

He's just the front man for the biggest cabal of traitors this country has ever seen.

Destruction is his main claim to fame. But he wasn't behind all the destruction of his 'reign'. Smarter minds engineered all that.

20. Tell it, acmavm.
Amis SO don't get it. "I could have a beer with him!" NO YOU COULDN'T unless it was a photo op. 19% of Amis think they are in the top 1%. DELUSION ABOUNDS. This man was NOT socialized as you were and any attempts to identify with him are ludicrous. He was born into a family of CRIMINAL SOCIOPATHS and is currently the "front man" for people whose names you will likely never know.

He's NOT stupid in that he knows on which side HIS bread is buttered. He IS stupid in that with all the advantages he's had, there has been NO DEVELOPMENT. Nor will there ever be.

5. He's probably not as big an idiot as we take him for sometimes...
But that doesn't mean he's a genius.

6. I think the point is "Strategic Stupidity"....
e.g. that Iraq was just an example of Bush's stupidity, and not part of a long term plan to control Iraq's oil.

9. Speaking just for me -- I think he's an idiot and incredibly hateful.
Has anybody here actually praised the Dim Son?

11. He's not particularly smart nor stupid. But he IS a sociopath.
That's his problem.

21. He is a very sick sick man. I wish someone who had the balls
in the Mental Health profession would hold a forum and say how this fratboy has real mental health disorders. Very sad indeed, that he got away with so much shit, and no one is holding him accountable, but sooner or later the cabal will have their day. I only hope.

15. I believe the people around him convince him that
their ideology is the right thing to do, that it is moral and will be good for his legacy. Not wanting to appear (puh-lease) stupid, he repeats what they say as Gospel and stumbles through the process of implementing. He is being manipulated on a daily basis. I would not be surprised to find out that his "Master's Degree in Business" was bought. He is not a smart man.

16. You can't believe your own bullshit That's exactly how Bush got us in this mess.
Which is all part of the plan. Evil Genius no doubt. Face facts he has hundreds of billions of your money in his pocket. Will the real idiot please stand up? He's been just dumb enough to get really rich. If that is being an idiot. Where do I sign up? Uh duh if I can even remember how spell my own name. That oughta be good enough to make me a trillionaire. Uh Huh.......

18. Those things aren't mutually exclusive
I think he's of moderate intelligence but has very little curiousity about anything beyond the very narrow borders he's drawn for what intellect he has.

AND I think he's evil and nefarious.

22. You seem to be much too concerned with what other people think.
That must be quite a burden.

23. Not really stupid. Ignorant.
Ignorance is much worse than stupidity IMHO. He had every opportunity handed to him and he has done nothing to educate himself. He displays no curiosity or interest in anything. His only response is a grin and a not-so-witty quip. Most people grow out of this type of behaviour at an early age when they learn it is no longer cute or acceptable. Some people don't.

24. yes
and he uses his "ignorance" to his advantage. He's a user, he uses our country's resources to his advantage.

Jerk is the best word to describe him, I think.

He knows to follow.
