Look, I know Bush makes a lot of mistakes in his speech. And, while I still maintain that many of his errors in English are signs of a learning disability rather than stupidity, I appreciate that it can be fun to mock them. Okay. But please. Grow up, and stop mocking valid and common dialectal differences as mistakes. That's petty, and a bit ignorant. You all know people who say "Afriker" or "idear", and if you don't, you've at least heard of people who do. Unless you believe that r-adding is really a sign of unintelligence/ignorance (are are willing to do a large scale study to prove it), please, stop.

Also, please stop mocking the guy's coordination. That's another thing that doesn't indicate stupidity. Oh, so he fell off a bike. I can't even RIDE a bike. Oh, he choked on a pretzel. I can barely eat with silverware, and that is a fact. I'm not stupid. While Bush's intelligence is debateable, it makes all of us look bad when the only "facts" you can point to to prove this are "well, he's uncoordinated and he doesn't speak like I do". Try pointing out his foreign policy (or lack thereof), or his stubbornness, or his assumptions that we can't remember what he's said from one speech to the next. You know, something that's actually important.

Oh, and please stop comparing Bush to a chimp. That's insulting to the chimp.

I have to point out the other link from the foxtrot debate: http://www.bushisNOTachimp.org

It really is insulting to the Chimpanzee Nations to compare our monkey-brained president to this vanishing species.
