You raise two good points. First, I apologize for generalizing about bad grades equaling less intellect, but I do believe that the amount of minced words Bush has created soldifies my suspection that he might not have been our most intelligent of Presidents..

As for the second point... a lot of US Presidents have someone been related to each other, it's another in the long, unspoken ways to the White House. Perhaps John Kerry should marry a Bush daughter?

Take care all.
