[Mr. Bird]

I have yet to see any evidence of Clinton's so-called superior intellect. Regurgitating arcane policy facts or speaking at length (and I mean at length) on trivial matters does not constitute intelligence, let alone wisdom.

I challenge anyone to name an original idea that sprouted from Clinton's head, or an instance in which he used a novel approach to solve a problem. His methods and instincts are base. He is the anti-genius.

Indeed. Or even a pithy quote. Was the guy a wordsmith? The only quotes he is notable for are "I did not sleep with that woman" and "Depends on the meaning of is"

He had no ideas and he never expressed himself in an admirable way. He's a nothing.

Agreed. The assertion about Clinton's IQ defies credulity. No one that bright could "leave the tool in the box" as often as he's done it.

After all, intelligence is a tool, not a goal, and not some sort of state of grace. Its applications are two:

1. Making accurate use of what you know;
2. Figuring out when you don't know enough and have to learn more before you can proceed.

If we go by his public record, Clinton fails both these standards. By contrast, the young Thomas Edison was reportedly so backward that his schoolteachers gave up on him, and look at the legacy he left.
