Is Bush stupid?
Edited on Sun Aug-27-06 09:28 PM by ProSense
Questioned as to whether he thought US President George W. Bush, who defeated him in the 2000 presidential elections, was stupid, Gore replied: "I don't think he's unintelligent at all. He's incurious ... there's a puzzling lack of curiosity."



:rofl: :rofl:

2. If he thinks he can get away with what he's doing - and We the People
and the Democratic Party and the Hague let him - then he's not stupid -we are.

3. He's not stupid - He's ignorant
Born to a well-to-do family, he's never had to learn to do anything. He's also lazy and has been spoiled rotten!!!

11. add arrogant too
he is a person who just can't relate to people period, unless their his own. he is just a frat boy, who thinks everything is a joke, plus he is trying to prove something to his father and mother, at our expense.

9. Well, it's the "politically correct" answer
If Gore said it up front, than the Repubs and the MSM would target him and his comments would be considered a "gaffe."

6. The attributes of a spoiled
hereditary monarchy. But when you get down to it, intelligence degrades when it makes room for evil and personal vice. And Bush didn't start out as an Einstein but as a drug hepped up charmer and conniver. As to his moral beginnings... well, a convert from a wild youth usually goes the other way too much. Bush's "reform" however is not broadly moral at all so the change is much worse- and a force for mental decline as well. Letting a "ruler" get away with absolutism will overthrow the mind and especially judgment as well.

Or "stupid is as stupid does" and what isn't drained form the IQ tank directly is misdirected in crazy, absolutely obstinate directions.

Combining a physically poor and declining intelligence with the worst habitual abuses of misdirected power makes him not just a unique case study but a global black light that shows all the stupid lint on all the ruling elites and inadequate leading brains worldwide.

The benchmark of ruling stupidity.

16. To quote the philosopher Forrest Gump:
"Stupid is as stupid does."

By that measure, yes he is. Quite.
