>> Do you really think a person who thinks Stewart, Colbert, Maher and Oliver are dumb

I don't confuse intellect with the ability to entertain an audience. They are totally different skills, and Jon Stewart is a skilled comedian but could not analyze his way out of a paper bag.

I think you conflate wittiness and quickness with intellect and they aren't the same things. Often, more brilliant individuals are those who take time with their thinking and get it right. All of those guys are quick and good public speakers, but as we've seen with our president you can be an excellent public speaker and have little in the way of real skill.
