    Who's the idiot?

    Though I appreciated the article, this whole "Is Bush an Idiot" thing just doesn't set well with me. Is he any dumber now than when he was initially elected? I don't think so. Despite what he wants us to believe, this is just a way for guys like Scarborough to jump off a sinking ship. Prior to August, 2006, if a liberal counterpart of Scarborough would have centered a TV show around the topic of Bush being an idiot, Scarborough and his ilk would have labeled that person a bad American.

    So if Bush is an idiot, what's that say about the people that, until recently, have been telling us how great he is?
