If you saw the movie "Dumb and Dumber" starring Jim Carrey you know that was a funny movie about two very dumb guys who don't have a clue about much of anything. But I don't think you would want one of those guys elected president of the United States. Then it wouldn't be so funny. But there's a bumper sticker being sold lately saying "Bush & McCain - Dumb & Dumber" and I think it's pretty accurate. I think most of us know by now that George W. Bush ain't the sharpest tack on the bulletin board, but are we going to look back in a couple years to those good old days when we had a relatively smart president? George W. Bush was a C student in high school and college, probably mainly because he partied his way through school and didn't take anything seriously. He earned the nickname "the smirk" even in school and was president of a fraternity described as much like that in the "Animal House" movie.
But the very similar John McCain was an even worse student in high school and college, and barely graduated from both. D student McCain admitted that Bush had probably done better than him in school. McCain made a comment recently about the "Iraq-Pakistan" border. Even an eighth grade geography student should know there is no Iraq-Pakistan border. My friends, imagine that you are the employer hiring a CEO for a critically important job to all of us. McCain and Barack Obama are applying. You see on their resumes that McCain graduated 894th out of 899 from college, while Obama was the highest ranked lawyer out of the prestigious Harvard Law School and has been a professor of constitutional law. Which one are you going to hire for this very important job?
