OK, but that doesn't make it fact.

My own belief is that incoherent speech or writing indicates incoherent
thought.

I don't buy that. History has shown that some of the most brilliant
people
were very poor speakers.

It is the same mentality that assumes stutters are stupid.


Of course, it's natural to assume that people who mangle words when
speaking
publicly are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Afterall, they don't
exactly sound "smart" when they're butchering their native language.

I had to do speech theraphy when I was young......I was scoring off the
charts on standardized tests, but teachers could barely understand
me.....apprently I was thinking to fast and my mouth could not keep up :-)


I think the only way to know is to spend time with a person talking
one-on-one on a personal level. That's why Bush is so effective when he's
meeting with the other World leaders in person.


... Go look at what
some of the 9/11 panel members (including the partisan ben-Veniste)
had
to
say about Bush's performance before their committee.

Uh huh. And do you think that GWB went in front of that committee and
spoke his mind, with no prep and no rehearsing?

Yes.



So to answer your question: no I don't think Bush is a moron for
having
misspoke.

If it was just misusing a word now and then, I'd agree. But he rambles
like a moron and misuses words constantly. He's actually funnier than
the people who mimic him... or at least, he would be if it weren't so
scary that he is actually the President.

BTW thanks for letting me make this point. Good work, comrade!

You're welcome.
