My first instinct when hearing Bush speak is that he is quite the moron, but to get elected as US President twice would surely mean he is fairly smart. But then again, the doubters will claim he only got into office because of his father. But to only lose the House of Reps after 6 years to the Demoprats is quite an achievement. I'm pretty sure he's not as dumb as he seems, and it's merely his strong Texas accent which has let him down.
