I have always thought he was a near-imbecile, in intellectual terms.
If he didn't have a willing media, a lap-dog minority population, union thugs and an omnipresent professional spin-ad machine protecting his every step, he would have a laughing stock within six months.
As it is, it took him six whole years to become one.
Yeah, me too. I judge him by the old standard "first rate people hire first rate people while second rate people hire third rate people". Obviously the morons that he hired were third rate, so that makes him second rate at best.
There have been some threads in the past on the general lack of intelligence of liberals. I suppose if your constituency is not too bright, then you can bull$#!+ them into thinking you are bright, even when you're not. I certainly never saw anything Clinton said or did that indicated any significant intelligence, except in a con-man sort of way.
