I'm still baffled by those that bash Bush for his apparent lack of
intelligence.
I think he is a very smart man with a language problem, but his
difficulty with the English language, with language itself, tells us
nothing about his intelligence. We may say that his policies are stupid,
but this would be a criticism of some very intelligent men. So what we
are really saying is that we disagree with the administration's
policies, and rather than critique those policies, we will keep calling
Bush a dunce simply because he can't speak very well?
