So I was watching TV and saw some liberal talking about President Bush and saying how stupid the guy is ... blah, blah, blah. Its the same crap I have heared since 1998. George W. Bush is dumb. Jeb Bush is the smart one. Its like talking about the Beatles. Ugggghhh!!! What gets me with this train of thought is the amount of evidence liberals could use to bash Bush without resorting to calling him dumb. I mean why not just use Katrina, Iraq, Delay, oil prices, Iran, or a ton of other issues to prove your point that Bush isn't doing a good job?
I hear all the time about President Bush's bad grades at Yale (weren't they higher then Kerry's?) but nothing about how well Democratic politicans have done in school. So, since noone else is going to look into the record I guess I'll do it. Lets take Senator Edward Kennedy for who many liberals would say is a smart politican. Well, lets see. Senator Kennedy graduated from prep school with the oh so high C average. This is when Jack Kennedy (Ted's brother) called him a "the gay [meaning happy, not homosexual] illiterate." Despite his low average, Senator Kennedy was admitted to Harvard because he was a legacy (isn't this something liberals bash President Bush on for attending Yale?). At Harvard, Senator Kennedy struggled. During his sophomore year Kennedy paid a friend to take a test for him because he feared a failing grade would keep him off the football team (glad to see that LEARNING was important). The cheating sceme didn't work ... Kennedy's friend was caught. Both were kicked out of school, but told they could apply for readmission.
I bring this to your attention not to bash Kennedy. I do it to point out that the measure of a man is more than just a grade on a report card or a stupid decision as a youth. President Bush and Senator Kennedy are not scholars, nor are they stupid men. Take the entire life of a person into context before saying a person is dumb. Just don't do it because you don't agree with him.
