Actually, the reason that republican presidents are perceived as stupid is because there is a tendency among liberals, including those in the media, to assume that people who don't share their beliefs are either evil, stupid or both.

As an Ithaca College Professor noted earlier this year about anti-war protesters:

quote:
they most frequently rely on what I like to call the "Dupes or Dopes" theory - that is, the conviction that everyone who disagrees with them is either a dupe (brainwashed by the Corporate Media, an evil conspiracy that includes everyone in America who goes near a word processor, microphone or television camera, with the sole exception of Amy Goodman), or a dope, which is to say, too stupid to recognize the clear and obvious truth [and that] "Bush is an idiot/Bush is evil"
None of this apologist doublespeak negates my crystal clear chain of logic:

1. Most Presidents in the past 30 years have been Republicans.

2. In the past thirty years only one - a Democrat - has been a Rhodes scholar, therefore almost all of the rest of them can be open to attack as stupid.

2. Therefore, all Republican presidents plus Carter in the past 30 years can be open to attack as being stupid.
