Blair: Bush is 'highly intelligent'

Yeah, but unlike in most other industrialized states, you can always get into some college or university, and have the chance to transfer around. The US does a better job at Higher education that any other industrialized state.

I agree, it's the lower end that the US sucks at.

And yet YOU Tolls, whomever you may be, you we know to be well qualified to opine on other's intelligence. And your reasons for believing so are. . .?

This entire thread reminds me of a bunch of junior high kids talking about their teachers.

My dad could beat up your dad, so nyah.

I love politics.

Practice what you preach. How do you know about whether we are qualified or not?

It is funny to watch Blair trying to "fit in" with cowboy Bush....


I almost feel sorry for him. He has a hillbilly next to him (Clinton was not for example, so no anti-american troll just the impression) and he is much more sophistacted than him (since he is european no matter how much he wants to appear in-between).


It is a very very funny duo. Could work very well for some comedy show

[Imran Siddiqui]

He has a hillbilly next to him

Yeah, it's a shame when Blair has to deal with a hillbilly like Simitis

[Serb]

No boubt, Bush is highly intelligent.

You have no idea how real morons should looks.
A hint for you:

[Imran Siddiqui]

If it only was few quotes then fine, but George can write entire books full of that kind of crap.

Once again... out of context quotes, sure prove a lot, moron .

(btw, that was sarcasm, since you probably would have trouble getting it)

[Ned]

Yes, Serb, Bush does seem to have a lot of trouble with off-the-cuff speaking. I didn't see but a portion of the debates between he and Gore in 2000. How did he do? The pollls right after the debates seemed to suggest that Bush won or at least drew.

The next election should be interesting. If a very articulate Democrat is nominated, I wonder if he can win the election purely on his performance in the debates?

[Sava]

@ anyone who thinks Dubya is smart

His dad was an intelligent man. He's not.

[Drogue]

I think people accept that, just not that it matters much.

[Sava]

Oh please Ned, my cat could have out-debated Gore.
