Those who have grown weary of the "Bush is stupid" mantra, will find delight in this Christopher Hitchens appearance on Bill Maher's show. Follow the link provided. WARNING: There is harsh language in the video, which is why it won't be posted here.
Long ago Steve Sailer looked into this issue and estimated that Bush has an IQ somewhere in the high 120s or low 130s. That puts him at around the top 5% of the population. So Hitchens is probably correct that Bush is smarter than everyone in Maher's audience.
Of course intelligence and wisdom are two different things. Bush may be intelligent yet unwise. But simply dismissing Bush as "stupid" is a lot easier and far more satisfying than actually thinking about Bush's policies and critiquing them intelligently.
