Re: [Pen-l] Sarah Palin lowered the standards for female

Jim & Jeffrey may be right about Bush (and Palin) -- I wo't argue it.
But I experienced Eisenhower's adminnistration, and his performance was
every bit as illiterate as Bush's, and yet he was probably one of the
most sophisticated & intelligent me ever to be president. He would joke
with his subordinates about "dumbing" up a position to confuse people.
And on general principles it is not wise to underestimate a foe's
intelligence -- especially if he/she has the u.s. treasury to pay for
intelligent aides & subordinates. What counts is the intelligence of the
Administration, not the merely individual intelligence of the president.
