Have you ever seen his movies?
Ahem. Love him or hate him, one thing GWB isn't is an actor. I don't agree with everything he says or does, but I've been around lots of politicians for over a quarter century (and hated most and tolerated most of the remaining ones). I don't detect a shred of dishonesty in GWB, and for that I respect him.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Yes, he is honestly dumb.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

That may be so, but I have difficulty with his chronic mispronunciations and his general all round inability to speak extemporaneously and sound intelligent. If you're in public life, be prepared to speak publicly and do it well. Just my opinion.

Public speakers don't have to speak well to capture the heart, it's more emotion. In NO way does this statment make me a Bush supporter!

I have difficulty with EVERYTHING about him. I just don't think he's as stupid as most people seem to think. Evil ... yes. Stupid ... no.

I think he's the Anti-Christ and I have a problem with EVERYTHING about him as well. The news today about his administration having paid off select journalists to promote some of his policies should be a big red flag for anybody still convinced of his so called honesty and integrity.
