So I suppose when Al Gore walked into Monticello and was surrounded by
the busts of the founding fathers and said "Who are these people?" that
was ok because it's not really relevant because they aren't are largest
trading partner. I take that as a bigger insult than not knowing the
current Canadian Prime Minister :)

the man was running for President. He should know the name of the leader
of 
this country's largest trading partner. Its not even a matter of some
aide 
making a mistake in his briefings. Its such a basic bit of necessary 
knowledge that stupidity is the only answer.

As for Kennedy, one incident, in contrast here are some recent quotes of

Shrub's:

"I hit the trifecta.' - George W. Bush to his budget director after the 
Sept. 11 attacks in reference to his frequently stated vow not to touch 
Social Security except in the even of war, national disaster or
recession

When asked if the events of the last four months have changed him Bush 
offered the simultaneously vain and superficial reply,'Talk to my wife.
I 
don't spend a lot of time looking in the mirror, except when I comb my 
hair...'"
