"At least Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar...some degree of smarts is required to get that prestigious honor.I guess owning a baseball team is on equal footing"

I didn't say it was. They don't admit morons to Harvard Business School either. And unlike Al Gore, GWB got his undergraduate with high marks. Your alleged genius Gore flunked out of Divinity school and dropped out of Vanderbilt. And let's not mention the fact that he couldn't even identify a bust of George Washington.

Managing a financially troubled sports franchise and leaving it financially sound and in the black, I would say, demonstrates not only leadership and judgement, but intelligence.

At least Bush has a Harvard MBA. Some degree of smarts is required to get that prestigious honor. I guess grabbing a Rhodes, which is notorious for being a "schmoozers" fellowship, and failing to complete the degree is on equal footing......
