If you had to rate George Bush as either a genius or a moron which would you choose?

He is a moron....a war monger!!

I don't think a genius OR a moron would survive for long in American politics. They would be too different from the rest of the herd and the voters wouldn't understand them.

I thought Bush had some very inspired moments in his first term, particularly in the aftermath of 9/11. His second term, on the other hand, has been nothing short of baffling. He still says some of the right stuff, but then he signs every spending bill. He still says the American voters gave him a mandate, but then he lets government grow ever larger, more unwieldy, and far more dysfunctional.

I'm not willing to call him a moron but I certainly don't rate him even as far as midline on the scale any longer.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson must be rolling in their graves. {sigh}

Moron

George Bush gives morons a bad name

He is a genius at being a moron.

He a Moron

Moron everytime!

Im just wondering why you have given examples of who is a genius, but none for who is a moron?

Hmmm where will I start......Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, David Blunkett....should I go on?!

The dictionary definition of "Moron" is "A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years". I reckon most 7 - 12 year olds are considerably more intelligent than Bush.

So perhaps "idiot" would be more a more appropriate choice. Defined as "A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years" and "a person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning". The latter definition in particular sounds like a good definition of Bush to me.

Edit: I really liked Russel Brand's comment about Bush at those music awards the other day, when he referred to him as "that retarded cowboy dude".

Technically of course, he is something in between. But if we're dealing in absolutes, I'd love to see him up against Steven Hawking - hell, even Richard Dawkins would be fun. George Bush, regrettably, is towards the lower end of the spectrum. I think Roy Zimmerman said it best, in the song below:

Moron with a very clever team of publicists behind him.

easy, Moron!
