I Love It When Someone Says: "George Bush really is intelligent"
You know you have heard it.

Can't these people just hear and see how wrong they are?

3. That is usually said by idiots
And those idiots are at the same intelligence level as georgie is. So of course they think he is intelligent.

5. I usually ask that person to repeat it because it's hard to understand
someone speaking through their sphincter.

Of course the comeback is "If he's so dumb, how come he's the prayzident". :dunce:

6. Well, Oysters have intelligence too
If they mean intelligent for a human, I would have to disagree, I mean, he had problems with pretzels for Pete's Sake.

And, if he is intelligent, then I would have to peg him as a Sociopath, which may be as close to the truth as you're going to get

7. He's relatively more intelligent than most slime worms. Which is what he is.
You have to look at it in context.

9. All anyone needs to do is watch that video of him trying to answer the
question about sovereignty. Wish I could find it...hilarious!

It should also lay to rest any rumors about him having any more than a room temperature IQ.

12. I know! I had one say something like, "well, he managed to win the elction twice"
and I countered with, "cheating in two elections is hardly worthy of praise."

14. Yeah, he's just a bad speaker
No, he's a fuckin' moron. If you can't tell that just by listening to him, then you're a moron as well.

16. No one ever had to tell me Big dog was intelligent
Just listen to the guy and decide for yourself. I have listened to * and have concluded, without rethug talking points that he is indeed a fucking moron!

17. I heard someone say he really cares about people.
I thought I accidentally fell into the Star Trek alternate universe where Spock had a beard and Sulu was an asshole.

18. I Love It When Someone Says: "I'm gonna fuck your ass with a fencepost."
Almost but not quite as much as when someone says: "George Bush really is intelligent"

20. Dear Tyler,
Haaaa!

My neighbors told me that Bush is a caring and intelligent MAN.

I countered with...

He is not caring.

He is not intelligent.

And you need to apologize to all the men in the world except other republicans

22. My boss has a real, honest-to-dog autographed photo of Bush.
Pity me.

They refer to me as their "Resident Liberal," which of course bothers me little as I dick off as much as I work and they think I make miracles.

25. I cringe
when I have to go into the elementary school office where my kids attend school and right there, for all to see, is a picture of the chimp.

The poor woman who has her desk right under it hates it and wishes that I would "steal" it for her... Poor, poor woman.

27. I have.
Seen the ones at the TSA stations at airports? They are the ones that make Cheney look like Goehring, and Bush look like he just had a frontal lobotomy. I asked the inspector how long it took them to find such unflattering pictures, and he just smiled knowingly.

21. George Bush is not a complete human being.
Edited on Wed Sep-19-07 11:09 AM by Peake
He has enough facility to manifest desire (read: greed/selfishness without regard to others) because he has no concept of others. People without compassion, the concept of others having the same needs and feelings that we do ourselves, tend to act upon desire without restraint or restriction. "We are history's actors" said someone without compassion.

People without the concept of the horror of war, engage in war.

People without the concept of compassion hurt others, and may perhaps find some small (or large) return on their actions, which would provide perspective upon the concept of compassion.

People who are in fear, without a basis of security and love, act to protect themselves at others' expense without qualm. Like robots. They can cause immense damage as they move to gain what they desire. And having gained it, may then function as a continuous poison, lowering standards and encouraging others to engage in greed. This can be transcended, but there must be burgeoning awareness of the issue, and a desire plus action to transcend it.

The universe is a rock polishing machine, a tumbler. Some rocks are much more jagged than others.

26. ok so he's a bit more intelligent than
a half-a-box-of-rocks, but less intelligent than a full-box-of-rocks

I'll go that far, but no way is he more intelligent than a bag of doorknobs or a pocketful of posies

28. what about a
stump? Is he as dumb as one? or is he just as dumb as a post?

Is he one taco short of a combination plate?

One sandwich short of a picnic?

Help... I'm running out of cliche´s

32. I'm of the opinion that if you have to defend the man's intelligence
After he's been in office for over 6 years and has had ample opportunity to demonstrate it himself, it's an uphill battle at best. :eyes:

35. The sad thing is that I've heard people
who raked Gore over the coals for being "too smart" say that. Huh? I dunno about most people, but the smartest guy in the room is exactly who I want to see running things and Bush is most definitely not that guy.

On the other hand, a person could actually sit down and have a beer with Dubya, so that makes it okay. :sarcasm:

36. drinkin' with Dubya
would be torture for me... (and probably 99% of the members of the DU)

I'd rather stand on my head and stack b-b's with my eyelashes than have a drink with that MFer
