Talk About Beating Around The Bush

Fits Like a Glove:

Don’t judge a Book by its IQ So maybe his ’linguistic inadequacies’ have made him ’the butt of many jokes.’ But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll lead badly. ‘Some of the best rulers in the world were poorly educated but had sharp minds.’ (The Statesman, India)

Playing Dumb Gets Results He’s ‘so stupid it’s clever.’ While Bush gives the world ’the giggles,’ his cabinet can make significant changes without anyone’s noticing. (The Sunday Herald, Scotland)

Isolationism Could Be a Blessing Does it matter what he’s like when the world may not experience much of him firsthand anyway? ‘The best scenario is that Bush will simply not display a great deal of interest in foreign policy.’ (The Jerusalem Post)
