I keep remembering Eisenhower's years, when everyone had a ball mocking
his clumsy rhetoric and suggesting he wasn't too bright. It was a hoax,
a rather deliberate one. It is particularly unwise to try to estimate
intelligence on the basis of someone's command of language: that can be
very deceptive. It is quite possible for highly intelligent people to be
consistent bumblers in their speaking and writing.

Never underestimate an enemy.
