Is McCain Dumber Than Bush?

It scares me to think that John McCain has a chance of being the next president.

I didn’t think we could possibly have a president that was dumber than Bush. We shall see. So far the evidence is mounting that McCain is indeed dumber than Bush.

From McCain Admitted He Is Dumber Than Bush by Suzie-Q:

When McCain was asked last year at a Candidates@Google event how his GPA compared to President Bush’s C average at Yale, McCain offered up some straight talk, my friends:

McCain: My GPA earned me fifth from the bottom of my class at the Naval Academy status. So, the GPA was based –since that was in the Coolidge administration it was a different measurement, but I can assure you in today’s standards it would be barely passing.

For good measure, Jed adds to that a clip from a January interview with Politico’s Mike Allen where McCain admits that he’s “an illiterate” who lacks the ability to utilize decades-old technology. At least Bush knows how to use “the Google.”

I realize that this is an unfair attack on McCain. I would assume that anyone who graduates from the Naval Academy must be at least somewhat smart.

But wait, there’s more. This is harder to explain away:

From McCain again cites current events in 'Czechoslovakia' by Rebecca Sinderbrand:

For the second time in two days, John McCain has referred to current events in “Czechoslovakia” – a country that officially ceased to exist in January of 1993.

Which was preceded by (in no particular order): Purim, the Iraq/Pakistan border, and confusion about the situation in Iraq which is only, you know, one of the biggest issues of our time.

If only Bush could run as McCain’s running mate, they could use the slogan: “Dumb and dumber, guess which is which.”
