David,RE: "I think it would just be viewed as offensive to those on the Left with no real purpose in doing so."

I understand. How about expressing your thoughts on why you believe Bush is an intellectual, without making a comparison to any Democratic. This way, I learn what you're thinking. I'm still genuinely curious.

He doesn't talk much, and when he does, it's rather simple one line sentences which gives an impression he doesn't think in terms of complex problem solving. I had the impression Fox network views intellectuals in a negative light based upon a rather negative generalization they made about "intellectuals are weird" and "too much intelligence." It's my impression some conservatives embrace a disklike of intellectuals and some writers on Fox are even proud of disliking them, so I had thought that Bush not being an intellectual was considered a plus and was consistent to their dislike of intellectuals.

What characteristics do you feel are signs of intellectualism?

This question is purely out of curiosity.
