'Stupid' trend "You should have been here when Eisenhower was president; he was not very good in a press conference because he would start a sentence with a relative clause and by the time he started adding more relative clauses and appositions, he never got to the subject or the predicate. So he was called really stupid. How can this guy run the country? But, you see, all he did was win World War II. ... "Very few people remember the way Reagan was portrayed as an idiot. ... "Bush is portrayed as a moron. I've only conversed with him a couple of times — not for very long — but I found he was more literate on literature than the editor of the New York Review of Books, Bob Silvers. I've talked to both of them, and he makes Bob Silvers look like a slug." — Tom Wolfe, interviewed by Trevor Butterworth, Friday in the Financial Times
