IMHO you're assuming this as a corollary to a very obvious fact, that
some of the best, most polished, and plausible speakers are not as smart
as they sound.

Sometimes that's true, and sometimes not.




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.

You mean, effective at making other world leaders mistrust & dislike him?


He seems to have done a pretty good job schmoozing several World leaders
recently...as evidenced by the unanimous UN resolution which Bush was
seeking that was passed yesterday.



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


You're welcome.

If you were a poker player you'd be dropping your cards on the floor.

Only intentionally...and only a few of them...so that you'd *think* you
were getting a good look at my entire hand.
