Check out other things he said, it fits. I wonder how people that stupid actually get voted into office. Shouldn't people vote for someone smarter than themselves to represent them? Or did they?

One of Dubya's biggest selling points was that he was "someone you could have a beer with".

So no, the people that vote for those kinds of people don't want someone smarter than themselves. They want someone like themselves.

That was actually a part of Hilary's trouble too: people just didn't like her on a personality level, so they didn't vote for her.

It's apparently illegal to have a beer with someone that's not a complete imbecile in the US.

Probably one of those old laws that never got repelled.
