That was my point....you can be a dumbass and be an effective president if you surround yourself with intelligent and competent people. I posted another thread where Maher points out the #3 person in the justice department(Monica Goodling), responsible for overseeing the performance of all prosecutors, was a 33 year old graduate from Pat Robertson's law school(rated lowest tier) and never served as a prosecutor. As a matter of fact, over 150 graduates of Pat's law school(Regent)have served in the Bush administration.
