Excerpt from Bush-Hussein Debate:
Hussein: (Through translator) "Why you want war with Iraqi people? It is for oil."
George W: " Ole? It ain't about no ole. Now looka here, its all about these Weapons of Mass Disfunction I keep hearin Jurealdo Rivera say you got."
Hussein: I know no Jurealdo Rivera, who is this man?
George W: "Oh youre missin out my little camel ridin buddy! He's on TV, and I got his autograph........anyways.....he's the one sayin you got these Weapons of Ass Lipsuction. Hey wanna play my gameboy?"

how can you forget the infamous "fool me once" speech?
Circa, Nov 2002 - "We have a little Tennessee saying, well actually I heard it in texas, but you probably have it in Tennessee as well. It goes, Fool me once, *scratches head* shame on you, and fool me twice, *scratches head again - puzzled look at teleprompter - well yer not gonna fool me twice, cuz ya cant do the same thing to me."

Now I would never be one to even attempt to explain or justify "W's" mangling of the English language on a regular basis. But attempting to correlate his lack of polished speech to his intelligence may not be all that fair. Though I admit, it might not be far off. Let me remind you of 2 other shining stars on the other end of the spectrum. How about the Rhodes Scholar himself, Bill Bradley. Bill was a damn' good basketball player, but his SAT scores were lower than "W's." Maybe that is more of an indictment of the validity of SAT scores, but it was a shocker to me. Another comparison could be made to the man for all seasons, Mr. Al Gore. "W" somehow managed to get an MBA from Harvard. Of course, maybe he bought it. Mr. Gore, on the other hand, was never able to complete law school. Of course, Al was probably more concerned with "Global Cooling" at that time since that was the rage during the 70's. "W" is a strange critter to be sure. His gaffs are legendary and his lack of charisma stands out like a sore thumb. Maybe we would be better off with James Earl Jones as President. After all, who would dare criticize his speaking ability? Or, if we coveted solely intelligence, do you think Einstein would have been a good leader for any country? There is no doubt that Bush Jr. will not challenge the history books as one of our most polished presidents. But I don't really think he is as stupid as many people assert.
