This might surprise a few people…
A quote from famed U.S. writer Tom Wolfe:
“Bush is portrayed as a moron. I’ve only conversed with him a couple of times – not for very long – but I found he was more literate on literature than the editor of the New York Review of Books, Bob Silvers. I’ve talked to both of them, and he makes Bob Silvers look like a slug.”

I find that opinion on Bush is split: he’s either an idiot that can’t take the covers off binocular lenses, or he’s an evil genius that planned the destruction of the Twin Towers. Sadly, you can often find these two opinions in the same person.
Well, it doesn’t surprise me, either, but I’ll bet it does some people.
I really can’t say as I’m surprised. Bush has been mocked time and again as a moron and idiot, but in reality, nothing could be further from the truth.
