http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/george-w-bush-enjoying-new-status-as-smarter-bush?intcid=mod-most-popularAfter years of being subjected to unfair ridicule, former President George W. Bush is now enjoying his newfound status as the smarter of the two Bush brothers to have achieved elected office.
Speaking to reporters at his home in Dallas, Bush said he was deriving quiet satisfaction from a new poll showing that ninety-one per cent of the American people now consider him the smarter Bush.
I know that no ones saying Im a genius, he said, modestly. But I look pretty good when Im graded on a curve.

Palin, Bush, Perry, Walker, Schwarzenegger, LePage. Don't get me started on some of the imbeciles in Congress. It's enough to make a person lose faith in democracy.
