I ran out of time to respond to sharrif's remarkable posting, will make a run at it Tuesday. Such profound thought required more time to digest than I thought . . . if I can ever stop snickering . . .

Bush is a great idiot?

Thanks, sharrif, for a wonderful comment. Lots of stuff to work with, ample for a whole new post. Come back tomorrow after I've stopped laughing and can write cogently about it.

Bush is undoubtedly a great idiot!
A stupid person or someone who is behaving in a stupid way is called an IDIOT and an extremely stupid person is called a BLITHERING IDIOT! IQ has nothing to do with a person's behavior or attitude. There are people with high IQ with abnormal conduct and there are people with low IQ with high esteem, character and conduct. We find many illiterate persons too who are more decent, polite, sincere, gentle and human than many highly qualified scholars with excellent degrees of IQ! Therefore, a person's morale cannot and can never be judge by his mere IQ! Rather, history is full of cases where this feature (IQ) combined with extra knowledge, opportunities and power has been often miss-used to explore all possibilities of evil and exploit the ignorant, innocent and poor lot just for power, fame and selfish motives.

In the light of the above, can any one tell me why Bush cannot be called an idiot? Judge him by his deeds and not by his knowledge or IQ. Have you ever heard this great saying: "Judge a flower or a butterfly by its external appearance, but never a human being!" How true indeed is this saying!!!

What Bush has done so far in his life and what Bush is doing right now and what Bush will do after a moment, the world knows it better. If he has just pleased a few or many with gold and silver or with rose and lily or with smiles and anchors in the eyes of a few we cannot rule out that he is Mr. Clean and cannot ignore his other deeds. He is cruelly annihilating the rest of the world with bombs and missiles, and brutally killing hundreds and thousands of innocent men, women and children. What the world will call such inhuman
behavior--stupidity or humanity?

Bush is no doubt behaved and is behaving still in an extremely stupid manner and is therefore a blithering idiot, excellent model of mad idiots. He has hurt the sentiments of hundreds and thousands innocent lives. He has destroyed and deserted many cultures and civilizations all over the world. He has become himself and made his country and its allies great danger and threat to the whole mankind.
He has cheated his own people. He has played tricks with them. He has made them unnecessarily afraid of the other world and has made false promises to them. He has become the president of a super power twice by wrong mandate. He has never won any presidential election. In fact people have voted against him every time. Go, and ask the people there in his own country. Go, and ask the people in the world. Make a census of people's opinion about him. See how many of them will call him an idiot and how many of them will regard him Mr. Clean. I bet, you also then call him an idiot more than me and others! Beware of this idiot!

Bush has no feelings. One, who has no feelings, has no right to exist. He and all those who support him and defend him are all idiots and have no right to exist! Order! Order!

Welcome, shariff!

However, there's more smoke in that comment of yours than in a roomful of cigar afficionados. I'll pose the question to you that no one else has answered that I know of: What is your hard evidence that he is an idiot? Give me an IQ level that qualifies one as an idiot, and give me his IQ. You can't make it work.  

You are quite right - call a jackal a jackal, a pig a pig, and all the rest of that fabulous chant of yours. But if you are going to be true to all that, stop calling the man an idiot simply because you disagree with him. You are committing the fallacy of subsituting emotion for logic and feeling for fact.

Idiot is not Bush!
True, Bush is an idiot. It is just like this. See there is a pig. It is not a pig just because it looks pig-like to someone, it is infact a PIG!
Instead, if someone calls a jackal, a pig or pig a jackal, it is a matter of great concern and astonishment for all. Similarly, if you call a theif a theif, or butcher a butcher...it is not a matter of surprise at all. In the same way, a pig is a pig, a jackal is a jackal, a theif is a theif, a butcher is a butcher and an idiot is an idiot. There is nothing to worry about it. If you call a pig a pig, a jackal a jackal, a theif a theif, a butcher a butcher or a an idiot an idiot, these rogues don't care at all. Then why worry about these wild and ugly nuisance. Believe me, Bush is a born idiot. He is still an idiot and will remain an idiot even after he lives his legacy of idiots. He is not an idiot, just because he appears idiot to a few or all. No. No. Believe me please, he is infact an IDIOT!
Save yourself. Keep away. Beware of idiot. Beware of his team of idiots. However, those who follow him, support him and believe him to be a great champion of peace, prosperity and progress in the world are GREAT IDIOTS!
