The whole "Bush is stupid" meme has been more damaging to the left,
IMO, than it has to Bush. The more we tell ourselves this
comforting little story, the more we underestimate the guy, which
has led to the conservatives generally kicking liberal ass ever
since Bush took office.
Just to be clear, I'll state my point as explicitly as possible: It
DOESN'T MATTER whether Bush is or isn't "stupid". What does matter
is that he is demonstrably quite capable, and ignoring this fact in
favor of comforting preaching-to-the-choir about his alleged lack
of intelligence is ultimately self-defeating.
