it's an act.
he plays dumb on TV so people feel comfortable with him. intelligent people are scary and have weird ideas. it's in your national culture; only villains are very intelligent, heroes are common folks' with extraordinary moral character. karl rove has done plenty of research on this.
bush can have an intellectual sort of debate seriously and is pretty good at it, he used to run circles around his opponent in press-sponsored debates when he was running for congress in the 1970s and he used straight-forward, intelligent lines of reasoning when debating against the incumbent D. gov of texas in 90s. the "dumbya"-mode they put on during the primary season of 2000 elections is nothing but a crude charicature carefully designed to maximize voter sympathy. you have to give credit to karl rove, even oliver stone still uses this fictional charicature as portrayal of reality in his biographical film about W.
