Well .. if they're already calling George "dumber than Bush" - they must be really worried about him running.
Did anyone notice the Nation is not calling McCain "dumber than Bush" ..?? Hmmmmm??

You make a great point...but I for one am tired of being on the side of the one whom "intellectuals" get to slam at will, with the "victim" not caring to defend himself.
I remember reading a conservative Wall Street Journal account of how the President deliberately used the word "nucular" and other country talk in the 2004 campaign in order to talk down to many in his electorate who don't like intellectuals at all, even when those intellectuals really are smart and street-wise and vote Republican.
I cannot count the number of friends in California who peeled away from Bush in the final year before the election on account of his use of the word "nucular". They didn't see the humor. They didn't admire the apparent intent, which was to talk down to his own voters (not that he wasn't the best candidate for whom I crawled over broken glass to vote for).
It doesn't necessarily have to be Rudy, but I want somebody who would fly to the Sorbonne on a moment's notice to defend the honor of the US Republican Party in a debate with a leftist French professor who just crossed a line in one of his lectures yesterday...
I want to see French intellectuals daring to speak out in favor of leftism....prompting the American President to fly to Paris immediately to take him on in an intellectual duel that leaves the leftist curled up in the fetal position.
Reagan almost had this trait. The Bush Family absolutely does NOT have this trait. The world is ready for a conservative who DOES have this trait.
Liberals are so easy to make speechless. They are so easy to force into a corner where they will BEG to get out of the room...or convert to conservatism before your very eyes.
I am an expert converter of liberals to conservatism. I convert at least one person per week.
We need someone with the power to do that.
I just hope that their "Worry" shall soon transform into FEAR.
