My SAT scores were higher than those of Mr. Bush by a fair margin, so perhaps I should be President.
Maybe. But you yourself admit they don't mean much.

Kennedy was supposed to be smart. He couldn't even get his own program through Congress. He helped dig the Vietnam hole.

Carter was supposed to be smart. He not only didn't understand the international politics game, he didn't even seem to know it was being played.

And then there were those Republicans leading up to Hoover. They aren't generally regarded as exactly brilliant. They certainly presided over a growing economy, though. Gee, sounds like Clinton, doesn't it- -the guy the left loves to give credit to for the 1990's economy. If he gets credit, why shouldn't those guys?

The most distressing part of the last election, for me, was not who won it or the manner of its resolution, but the harsh fact that neither man would have been considered an acceptable candidate for dogcatcher if not for political pedigree.
As has been already pointed out, that's hardly true.
