after this incredible post, i'd tend to agree with the opposite you just said. Expressing opinions in a decent way doesn't really mean..you get it
Hey I'm in my office, at my laptop. Thinking about getting some lunch. Maybe I'll hit the gym first. There's like this cardboard thing at eye-level, I think it's to tack notes on or whatever. Also my jacket is on the back of my chair. I'd ask for a standing coat hanger but there's really not a good place for one here.

Yes, Bush is an idiot. Fuck him. Fuck his enablers. Tack that one on your cardboard thing, Mr. Obtuse Random Post Guy.
Now, away I go on my high horse, the one named "My own damn eyes and ears".

personally I would argue that you can read into peoples intellectual capacity somewhat by their articulation...its not simply that Bush is a poor public people...its the way that he articulates that makes him appear rather simple...seriously, I'm not merely comparing him to other presidents, just to people I have met and interacted with....the amount of gaffs he makes can't be dismissed in such general terms as you imply
simple answer... given the parametres in which western society generally classifies a person as an idiot....Bush ticks alot of the boxes
Cocopjojo said:
Hint: Public or not, he's not a good speaker.
If he looks or sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about, how do you expect the people who carry out his half-witted policies to understand what he wants to say in the first place? It's not like they can read his mind.

Yes, I know the Cole and I'm sure those idiots did too and hence they didn't pull up close. If they pull relatively close, shoot them. Problem solved.
This was yanking Bush's chain by Amidinijhad who is the mirror image of Bush.
Both Bush and Amidinijhad have rural, religious, nationlist voter bases. So they both can easily score points with their voter base by sabre rattling against the enemy. And they both do it non stop.
And both have urban more cosmopolitan educated critics that see throught their Kabuki theatre.

1) There is a big difference between noting that some intelligent people have poor "emotional intelligence" (to use the most common term I've seen in literature), and claiming that traditional intelligence and emotional intelligence are ALWAYS negatively correlated.Cocopjojo said:
2) The article describes how intelligent people often don't have a strong set of skills for interpersonal relationships. However, written and verbal communication skills are only a subset of the emotional intelligence toolbox -- the article says as much. So, the article is not necessarily a strong backing for you position.
3) I would personally argue that communication isn't even an exclusively "emotional intelligence" skill. Tone, non-verbal language, and connotative meaning are certainly in that area. However, basic grammatical construction and accurate use of denotative meaning to correspond to your ideas are purely intellectual skills.

Hmm. He even laughs more intelligently than Bush. Quite the indictment. Good job, castle007.

What is the context of this Clinton video?
Truth. He probably shits more intelligently than Bush, too.

This nightmare scenario pops up in my mind from time to time where he starts another war and declares martial law and delays elections. I tell myself there's no way he'd be able to pull that shit off in the US, but then again, this is the same country that elected a retard to two terms in the highest elected office in the US.
If he can get us into a war with Iran before he leaves office, it will take at least the majority of the next presidential term to pull out, even if the procedure is begun immediately. Combined with Iraq being a total clusterfuck where exit probably won't even be a possibility for several more years, the next president can feasibly end up looking worse than Bush in certain lights, especially since the next Pres is going to have to spend a lot of policy time on domestic stuff since the current administration hasn't paid that much attention to that.
Basically, starting another war is a wise political move for Bush. It ensures that the next president, and the democrats, will only be in power for four years. Starting another war is minimizing damage for the Republicans, because they will pretty much be guaranteed the White House when 2012 rolls around.

To be fair, the window where the US and Russian president would be laughing together was a pretty short one in the context of history.Tieno said:

At this point, I guess he can't tell, which is why there's just some saber rattling going on. If a war with Iran were to be played as a strategic political move, it would have to be closer to the actual elections, once the numbers can be closely scrutinized and it can be determined which election outcome is most likely.
REPUBLICANS: I am willing to be your next Karl Rove, if the price is right. I have no morals and I don't care about the value of the lives of commoners.

Status quo remains. But if there is a war with Iran, the Republicans won't win.
RobotChant said:
Also, it appears that none of the current Republican candidates are really in that deep with the Reagan/Bush camp that currently has the White House. I am assuming that the good ol' boys realize that they have to keep their tails between their legs for now, and that they can find, build, and hype a candidate for the next election.

I guess he would be the closest, but does he really still have a chance? His campaign ads are basically "If you don't vote for me, Osama and arabs are going to rape your pets," and I really don't think that sort of rhetoric flies anymore. Or so say the numbers.
I think if anyone tried to go into this election advertising that they were affiliated with Bush, it would be instant lose. Give the Republicans 4 years to give GWB a Reagan-like retro-makeover, and then they could try the comeback for another term.
Seriously. Both Clinton andf Yeltsin were awsome. Just check out this video of Yeltsin doing a crazy dance. No chance in hell that Vlad would ever lighten the fuck up.Tieno said:

No, he got elected twice by a broken form of democracy where the guy getting less votes can win and idiots voting for him.
Making fun of his poor communication skills is just a side bar . . . it generally just as easy to make fun of the stupid things he says.
Is this really our next big fear:
Being harassed by idiots in speedboats? Amidenajhad is having a laugh yanking Bush's chain. Let's start World War III!
The vessel that attacked the USS Cole wasn't large either.

bush has pretty much doomed the republican vote from here to 2016. I don't think there is anything else to say on that matter.Tieno said:
